Supreme Court Won't Stop Biden Administration From Withholding Title X Funding From Oklahoma

Federal funds for low-income family planning services were revoked after Oklahoma passed a law requiring doctors to tell patients about the link between abortion and breast cancer.

Biden administration says the Oklahoma law is medically inaccurate and violates federal law.

The Supreme Court on Monday declined to block the Biden administration from withholding Title X funding from Oklahoma over a state law that requires doctors to tell patients about the link between abortion and breast cancer.

The court's order leaves in place a lower court ruling that found the Oklahoma law is medically inaccurate and violates federal law.

The Biden administration has said that the Oklahoma law is "based on a medically inaccurate premise" and that it "violates the requirement that Title X grantees provide patients with non-directive counseling about all legal options, including abortion."

Oklahoma is one of several states that have passed laws in recent years restricting access to abortion. The Biden administration has vowed to fight these laws, arguing that they are unconstitutional and harmful to women's health.

The Supreme Court's decision not to block the Biden administration from withholding Title X funding from Oklahoma is a significant victory for the Biden administration and for reproductive rights advocates.

The decision means that Oklahoma will not receive federal funding for family planning services unless it repeals the law requiring doctors to tell patients about the link between abortion and breast cancer.

The decision is also a blow to anti-abortion advocates, who had hoped that the Supreme Court would rule in their favor and allow Oklahoma to continue to receive Title X funding.

The Supreme Court's decision is a reminder that the fight for reproductive rights is far from over.
