The Republican laws tried to defund Deliberate Parenthood by blocking Medicaid sufferers from receiving healthcare companies at Deliberate Parenthood. Abortion care is already not allowed on Medicaid, so what Republicans have defunded within the identify of “life” are healthcare companies for ladies.
A provision singling out a single supplier seems to be fully unlawful, and the restraining order is hopefully step one in ensuring that Deliberate Parenthood can present the companies that girls want.
