More than 20 states, nearly as many federal lawmakers and dozens of conservative, pro-life and religious groups asked SCOTUS to overturn a ruling that refused to block the Department of Health and Human Services from cutting off Oklahoma's Title X family planning funds for not giving women information about abortion.
Like many red states, Oklahoma further restricted abortion after SCOTUS scrapped federal abortion rights and returned the issue to the states in the Dobbs ruling.
A split 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel saw no problem with HHS saying it was "unambiguous" that Title X requires recipient states to provide "nondirective counseling and referrals for all family-planning options, including abortion," regardless of Dobbs.
