VisitSupreme Court Upholds Withholding of $4.5M Federal Funds from Oklahoma Over Abortion Referrals
Sep 3, 2024, 09:04 PM
The U.S. Supreme Court, in a 6-3 decision, has refused to stop the federal government from withholding $4.5 million in Title X family planning funding from Oklahoma. The decision comes after Oklahoma's refusal to refer patients for abortions and to promote a mandated national hotline for abortion counseling. Justices Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch dissented. The Biden administration sought to withhold these funds due to the state's non-compliance with federal requirements for providing neutral information about abortion.
