The big story of the past seven days
✣ Supreme Court declines Planned Parenthood cases
What happened?
The US Supreme Court has declined to address two cases which might have harmed Planned Parenthood. Lower courts had disagreed over the legality of cutting funds to the abortion provider, among other organisations. The Supreme Court voted 6-3 not to address the case.
It was the first time Justice Brett Kavanaugh had voted on a case related to abortion. His nomination was approved amid some mystery over his views on the subject. Here he voted with the majority.
