Supreme Court declines to restore Oklahoma federal family planning funds in abortion fight

The Supreme Court has declined to reinstate millions of dollars in federal funding for family planning services that the Biden administration stripped from Oklahoma after officials refused to provide a hotline number for patients to call and receive information on abortion. 

In an order Tuesday, the court denied Oklahoma’s request for an emergency injunction that would have stopped the administration’s efforts to block about $4.5 million in Title X family planning grants from the state while it continues to fight the decision.
