**JUNEAU, AK —** After [months of delay](https://alaskawatchman.com/2026/01/09/after-lengthy-delay-alaska-finally-cuts-planned-parenthood-from-medicaid/), Alaska has finally halted Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood under the federal “Big Beautiful Bill” (H.R. 1), signed by President Trump last July. The law bars abortion-providing nonprofits from receiving Medicaid reimbursements, and Planned Parenthood affiliates in Alaska—part of a multi-state organization—are now temporarily ineligible for any Medicaid funding, including for non-abortion services.

Until November 5, 2025, Alaska continued subsidizing abortions through Medicaid, paying for 43% of all state-funded procedures—528 unborn babies in 2024 alone. Pro-life advocates, including Alaska Right to Life, pressed state officials to comply, ultimately prompting the halt.

While Medicaid payments prior to the cutoff may be rescinded, non-Planned Parenthood providers can still receive funding, as the law targets specific organizations. Planned Parenthood continues to benefit from non-Medicaid programs like cancer screenings.

The move represents a major pro-life victory and a significant financial blow to the abortion giant, with advocates urging permanent federal restrictions on all public funding.
