Brett Kavanaugh to the surprise of some conservatives has sided with the Liberal judges in declining to hear the Planned Parenthood Defunding case. Nice to see that he is doing his job and ruling/making decisions that are not partisan-based.


In an early decision involving abortion, newly confirmed Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh sided with liberals in declining to hear a case that could have allowed states to defund Planned Parenthood in state Medicaid programs.
My colleague Kimberly Leonard has more background and details of the cases, but the basic gist is that lower court rulings prevented Louisiana and Kansas from blocking abortion provider Planned Parenthood from participating in Medicaid. The Supreme Court has now decided to pass on the cases.
Only four justices are needed to agree to grant a hearing on any case. So to stop it from reaching the high court, it took Kavanaugh siding with Chief Justice John Roberts and liberal justices.

Good.

Kavanaugh is a hero to women.

He could also be looking for a better case. If Roberts wasn't going along nothing good was going to come out of it. This is going to come up again.

I don't know the particulars to know.

What happens if States drop Medicaid altogether? Will women like that?

Would you?

While I could be wrong, I would suspect not, unless each state came up with their own medical plan.

Do you understand what the fallout from that would be for all people, not only for women?

Liberals are now conflicted.

Kavanaugh has been pro-choice historically, so what's the surprise?

I would still be pro-choice myself if there was no plan to industrialize baby body parts in it. There is, so I reject pro-choice on that grounds. Will they pass a law against using aborted baby parts for other purposes? Doesn't matter. Don't do it.

The surprise likely stems from the left painting him as a threat to abortion rights.

Read OP and its article and its source and, while I know Thomas's dissent, I still don't have a clear idea why Roberts and Kavanaugh voted against hearing the cases. Anyone know?
