Government funding restored for Planned Parenthood, but clinic losses remain

Government funding for Planned Parenthood and two smaller regional abortion providers has resumed for non-abortion services after being cut off for most of a year under a Trump-era policy. The defunding contributed to clinic closures and reduced healthcare services like breast cancer screenings and birth control distribution, though Medicaid billing for non-abortion services restarted. Over 30 clinics have closed, and patient access to care has declined in some areas.
