Maine network ends primary care after losing Medicaid due to Trump defunding Planned Parenthood
October 30, 2025
A network of medical clinics that serves low-income residents in Maine says it will shut down its primary care operations on Friday because of Trump administration cuts to abortion providers. Maine Family Planning operates 18 clinics in the state and says abortions are a relatively small percentage of its overall services, which also include cancer screenings and contraception. The network says it had to cut primary care because of the administration’s move to block Medicaid money from abortion providers including the much larger Planned Parenthood.
