Supreme Court Case, Budget Bill Could Have Devastating Effects on Planned Parenthood: Q&A With Danika Severino Wynn, CNM
The Supreme Court decision in Medina v Planned Parenthood South Atlantic and the subsequent passing of the budget bill leave Planned Parenthood clinics and their patients in a precarious spot, says Danika Severino Wynn, CNM.
Funding for Planned Parenthood faced severe challenges when the Supreme Court sided with Medina in Medina v Planned Parenthood South Atlantic on June 26, 2025, and the budget bill passed on July 3, 2025. Both of these decisions allow for a defunding of Planned Parenthood on the state and federal levels, potentially impacting millions of people who turn to these clinics for medical treatment. Danika Severino Wynn, CNM, vice president of care and access for Planned Parenthood Federation of America, discussed how these decisions could impact those in underserved areas and how Planned Parenthood plans to address these funding decisions.
