Supreme Court OKs Planned Parenthood Funding; Won't Hear KS, LA Appeals to End Public Funding

The Supreme Court has sided with Planned Parenthood in its fight for funding, denying appeals by Kansas and Louisiana that sought to end their public funding through Medicaid, The Independent website reports today (December 10, 2018).

Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Brett Kavanaugh unexpectedly aligned with four liberal justices in declining to review the petitions that would have placed a ban on abortion providers.

Defunding Planned Parenthood has been a key priority for Republicans.

The top court left the rulings from the lower court that halted Kansas and Louisiana from revoking public healthcare funding from Planned Parenthood and its affiliates.
