Yesterday, the 6th Circuit upheld the effort to wtihhold funds from Planned Parenthood. It was a full court vote, 11 to 6. Four of the mojority were/are President Trump appointees.
In an 11-6 ruling,
the full 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a ruling from the
lower court and ruled against two Planned Parenthood affiliates that
challenged the law. The Cincinnati-based court found the measure does
not violate the Constitution and ruled the affiliates “do not have a due
process right to perform abortions.”
“The Ohio law does not violate a woman’s right to obtain an
abortion,” Judge Jeffrey Sutton, appointed by former President George W.
Bush, wrote for the majority. “It does not condition a woman’s access
to any of these public health programs on refusing to obtain an
abortion. It makes these programs available to every woman, whether she
seeks an abortion or not.”
