US Supreme Court to decide if states are allowed to defund Planned Parenthood
The United States Supreme Court announced on Wednesday that it will hear arguments in Kerr v. Planned Parenthood, a case that will determine whether states have the authority to defund Planned Parenthood.
Under federal law, the Hyde Amendment prohibits the use of federal funds to pay for abortions except in cases of rape or when “necessary to save the life of the woman,” though induced abortion — the direct and intentional killing of preborn babies — is not medically necessary. Some states, however, allow state Medicaid funding to be used for all elective abortions, such as Connecticut, where the HUSKY Health Medicaid program covers abortions. HUSKY (funded by taxpayers) pays for 75% of the total abortions in the state.
Kerr v. Planned Parenthood stems from a lawsuit filed by Planned Parenthood patient Julie Edwards in South Carolina, who sued the state because her Medicaid coverage would not pay for her visits to Planned Parenthood for birth control. In 2018, Governor Henry McMaster issued an executive order that cut off state funding from the abortion giant, as well as every abortion business in the state.

Kroger and Sam’s Club say ‘errors’ by ‘third party vendors’ listed abortion pill on their websites
Days after Live Action News originally broke the news that both Kroger and Sam’s Club were displaying the abortion pill mifepristone (200mg) — also known by its brand name, Mifeprex — for sale on their pharmacy websites, the grocery store giants have issued statements insisting that the drug was displayed for sale on their websites due to “errors” in drug listings by “third-party vendors,” which the pharmacies use to “aggregate medication pricing.”
After Live Action News broke the story on the presence of mifepristone on the Kroger pharmacy’s website, other outlets reported on the news, including The Washington Stand (TWS). An e-mail was then sent by Danielle Lewis Jones, Head of Communications for Kroger Health, to a senior editor at TWS, claiming that “The Kroger Company Family of Pharmacies do not carry Mifepristone, nor do we dispense it” and that “The Kroger Family of Pharmacies doesn’t carry Mifepristone and was listed on the Kroger Health Savings Club site in error. It has since been removed and we are requesting a retraction of Kroger’s inclusion in the story.”
