Though many legislative sessions have concluded for the year, states could soon see more changes to reproductive health care access with new federal legislation that might lead to clinic closures, as well as pending health policies on abortion pills.

Reduced access to abortion and reproductive health care are expected following the reconciliation budget bill President Donald Trump signed on July 4. It strips Medicaid funds from certain reproductive health care providers that also offer legal abortions, especially affecting Planned Parenthood.

The largest nonprofit network of reproductive health clinics says an estimated 1 million Medicaid patients would likely lose access to services like birth control, cancer screenings and STI testing, and that it could end up closing 200 of its 600 clinics around the country, primarily in rural areas and in states where abortion is legal.

Planned Parenthood sued the Trump administration, and a federal judge temporarily blocked the provision. Though the administration on Friday argued the temporary restraining order should not have been allowed and asked the judge to reverse course.
