More than 20 mostly Democratic-led states sued the Trump administration Tuesday over its efforts to cut Medicaid payments to the nation's largest abortion provider -- Planned Parenthood.

A day after a federal judge in Massachusetts blocked the Trump administration from ending Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood, officials from Connecticut and 22 other states filed their own lawsuit to keep the clinics from losing federal dollars.

A federal judge in Boston ruled that a provision in President Trump’s policy bill targeting the organization most likely amounted to retaliation.
