'Victory' for Women as Supreme Court Rejects Case Challenging Medicaid Funds for Planned Parenthood

From the article:

In a development hailed as "victory," the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear a case that sought to prevent Medicaid patients from accessing key healthcare services from Planned Parenthood....


In the 6-3 decision, it was Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Neil Gorsuch who dissented, saying the high court should have taken up the cases. Notably, conservatives Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Brett Kavanaugh joined the liberal justices in refusing to hear the challenges.

Good news for those who believe in the strict separation of church and state.

And Justices Roberts and Kavanaugh joined with the liberals on this one.
