Planned Parenthood Gets Victory From Supreme Court


By DAVID BADASH DECEMBER 10, 2018 @ 9:58 AM

Planned Parenthood has just won a big victory at the U.S. Supreme Court.

The nation's top court refused to hear a case against the women's healthcare provider brought by two states that tried to defund Planned Parenthood, Reuters reports. Louisiana and Kansas tried to defund the organization in the wake of the debunked right wing conspiracy theory that Planned Parenthood was selling baby parts.

MSNBC's Pete Williams explains:




Despite investigations across several states, not one iota of evidence that Planned Parenthood was selling baby parts could be produced.

Dissenting in the refusal to review the case were Justices Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch.




In late 2015 three people were shot to death and nine others injured at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado. The suspect reportedly told police after he allegedly killed three people, "no more baby parts."

and the tiny brains on Gorsuch.

We already knew Thomas and Scalito were bloody useless.
