“Today’s U.S. Supreme Court ruling has been a long-time coming. Indiana’s right to stop using Medicaid dollars to fund Planned Parenthood, and its business of abortion, is finally validated.
The Indiana state legislature passed defunding legislation under Governor Mitch Daniels in 2011, making Indiana the first in the nation to do so. But the U.S. Seventh Circuit issued an injunction in 2012, halting the legislation from taking effect and denying Indiana’s right to remove Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood.
But today is a new day. With this SCOTUS ruling handing Indiana this victory, we are asking Attorney General Todd Rokita to immediately move to have the 2012 injunction vacated and for the State of Indiana to terminate all Medicaid contracts with Planned Parenthood.”
