| The Court sides with Planned Parenhood. |
Numerous states were trying to block funding to Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest women's health provider. The court ruled that states had no right to strip access to prenatal care.
Trump appointed Supreme Court justice Brett Kavanaugh and Chief Justice John Roberts sided with Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, Ruth Binder Ginsberg and Stephen Beyer on the issue of women's rights.
The decision is a victory for women.
Right wing group Center for Medical Progress tried to infiltrate Planned Parenthood locations in a few states. They tried to get the organization to implicate itself in a criminal activity.
Republican lawmakers started pushing for the cancellation of Medicaid contracts to Planned Parenthood.
Some succeeded.
Planned Parenthood sued the states involved and it forced the U.S. Appellate Court to rule that those involved violated federal law and were told to reinstate funding.
The lower court ruling will remain and states must continue to offer prenatal care and healthcare for women seeking termination.
Republicans never get the message.
The newly elected House members will be a checks and balance of Donald J. Trump. Hopefully they will succeed in getting things done.
