Following the passage of the \u2018Big, Beautiful\u2019 Budget Bill and the Medina <\/em>decision, several states in America\u2019s Heartland are intensifying efforts to end funding for the abortion industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ohio lawmakers introduced<\/a> House Bill 410 to ensure that \u201cno Medicaid funds shall be paid to an entity that is prohibited from receiving federal funds.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just over to the west, Indiana<\/a> Attorney General Todd Rokita\u2019s office is seeking to reverse a 12-year-old court order blocking Indiana\u2019s prohibition on funding for abortion facilities. The office cited Medina v. Planned Parenthood<\/em> ruling for the reason to reverse the order.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have also seen Planned Parenthood facilities <\/em>close in both states, including two in Ohio<\/a> and one in Indiana.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These efforts reflect a growing momentum in the states to follow through on what the Medina<\/em> decision made clear: states have the right to keep taxpayer dollars out of the abortion industry.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These elected officials are pushing back against Big Abortion\u2019s grip on Medicaid funding.<\/p>\n\n\n

TRANSCRIPT: \u201cI\u2019m excited to give you an exciting update on defunding Planned Parenthood in the states.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Ohio and Indiana, it\u2019s encouraging to see that they\u2019re working to make sure the abortion industry is defunded.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Ohio the legislature introduced House Bill 410 that would align itself with the \u201cBig, Beautiful\u201d Budget Bill. The \u201cBig, Beautiful\u201d Budget Bill says that Medicaid can\u2019t go to abortion facilities for one year, and hopefully we\u2019ll continue to make that at least 10 years.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then in Indiana, the Attorney General\u2019s office is seeking to reverse a twelve year court order that prohibits them from ending funds for the abortion industry\u2014and the office also cited Medina v. Planned Parenthood for a reason why they can do this.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s so inspiring to see America\u2019s Heartland fight to make sure that babies lives are saved and that we stop bankrolling the abortion industry.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
