Planned Parenthood Decries Block on Indiana Medicaid Funding Despite End of Federal Ban

Indiana's Planned Parenthood affiliate is still unable to receive state Medicaid funding. A federal ban on such payments expired, but the state is seeking to enforce a 2011 law that prohibits funding to organizations that provide abortions. This law was previously blocked by federal courts, allowing Planned Parenthood to receive Medicaid payments for over a decade. However, the situation has changed with the imposition of a federal ban last summer. Further details on the current situation and the efforts of Indiana officials to enforce the state law are available from Rewire News Group.
