PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — A judge has denied a request from a network of Maine clinics to force the federal government to restore Medicaid funding. Monday’s ruling came as the clinics are opposing efforts by President Donald Trump’s administration to prevent federal funds from reaching abortion providers. Trump’s policy and tax bill blocked Medicaid money from going to Planned Parenthood. It also prevented funding from reaching Maine Family Planning. Planned Parenthood is the country’s largest abortion provider, while Maine Family Planning is a much smaller organization. Maine Family Planning clinics provide family planning and primary care to about 8,000 people in one of New England’s poorest and most rural states. Planned Parenthood is also challenging the funding cut.
