Maine murder clinics to end primary care services after being denied Medicaid funding

One of Maine's largest abortion care providers is ending primary care
services on Friday after a court ruled that the Trump administration is
not required to restore Medicaid funding. 

Maine Family Planning -- the largest network of sexual and reproductive
health care clinics in the state -- is ending primary care services at
three clinics in Ellsworth, Fulton and Presque Isle, affecting about 800
patients. 

Under H.R.1 -- the mega-bill that President Donald Trump signed into law
over the summer -- family planning and abortion providers are not
allowed to collect Medicaid funding if they received at least $800,000
in Medicaid reimbursements in 2023. 

Medicaid funds are not used to cover abortion costs in most
circumstances, according to Maine Family Planning. 

The Center for Reproductive Rights (CRR) sued on behalf of Maine Family
Planning to restore the funds, but a judge ruled in August that, because
Roe v. Wade -- the constitutional right to an abortion -- was overruled,
Congress can "withhold federal funds and otherwise disassociate from
conduct that is not enshrined." 

George Hill, president and CEO of Maine Family Planning, said it feels
like the network was targeted because it provides abortion care, despite
offering other family planning and reproductive health care services.
