Maine providers seek state funding to offset federal cuts threatening abortion services.
Maine’s abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood of Northern New England and Maine Family Planning, plan to seek ongoing state funding in 2026 to replace lost federal support, citing a $5.5 million shortfall from Medicaid and Title X cuts under the Trump administration.
They warn rising demand and costs threaten their ability to maintain services, already forced to close primary care at three clinics.
While state leaders support sustaining care, some lawmakers and the Christian Civic League oppose using taxpayer money for organizations they say prioritize political agendas.
Providers continue serving patients and are boosting fundraising but caution that further service reductions may be necessary without stable funding.
