SCOTUS Declines <br />Planned Parenthood Case The case concerned whether <br />patients could use Medicaid <br />for pregnancy-related <br />Planned Parenthood services. Planned Parenthood provides <br />such services to low-income women. The Supreme Court declining the case <br />means that most states will be unable <br />to block patients from doing so. Leana Wen, president of Planned Parenthood, via NPR Anti-abortion groups <br />decried the Supreme Court's decision. Statement, Students for Life of America, <br />via NPR The Supreme Court's ruling <br />applies only to pregnancy <br />services and not abortions. Such services include <br />screenings, ultrasounds <br />and counseling. Federal Law prohibits <br />the use of Medicaid <br />money for abortions.
