Anti-abortion movement rift with GOP deepens as Planned Parenthood funding resumes

By Gabrielle M. Etzel. July 6, 2026.

The rift between anti-abortion advocates and the Republican Party widened on Sunday as federal funding for Planned Parenthood resumed following the one-year pause on Medicaid reimbursements for the nation's largest abortion provider.

Medicaid reimbursements for Planned Parenthood's non-abortion services, such as sexually transmitted infection testing and birth control, were paused last year as part of the GOP's One Big Beautiful Bill Act, but funding officially resumed on Sunday.

Prohibiting Medicaid funding, which covers low-income and disabled people, for large abortion providers, referred to as "defunding Planned Parenthood," had been a white whale for the anti-abortion movement for decades.
