The decision against Maine Family Planning came despite a ruling last month by another federal judge, who said Planned Parenthood clinics around the country must continue to be reimbursed for Medicaid funding as the provider wrangles with the Trump administration over efforts to defund it. That legal fight continues.

A federal judge on Monday rejected a bid by Maine’s largest reproductive health care provider to block U.S. President Donald Trump's administration from implementing a provision of his recently enacted tax and spending bill that would deprive abortion providers of Medicaid funding.

A federal judge on Monday denied a request by a Maine family planning provider to block the law that prevents such providers from receiving Medicaid reimbursements for a year if they also offer abortions.
