US House Republicans approved a budget bill aiming to cut Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood, threatening access to health care for nearly 25,000 Virginians. Planned Parenthood Advocates of Virginia said the bill jeopardizes essential services such as birth control, STI treatments, and cancer screenings, especially in underserved communities.
Republicans describe the move as a shift of funding away from abortion providers, although Medicaid already restricts abortion coverage. They aim to pass the bill in the US Senate by Memorial Day and deliver it to President Trump for signing by July 4.
