In a major blow to Planned Parenthood, the full United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit upheld the “Protect Life” federal regulations. Issuing a lengthy 7-4 decision, the court vacated injunctions issued against the regulations by three leftist district courts last year.
As we explained earlier, the “Protect Life” regulations prohibit the use of Title X money “to perform, promote, refer for, or support abortion as a method of family planning.” Title X is a federal program dedicated to providing preconception family planning services to the nation’s neediest citizens. Planned Parenthood and 21 pro-abortion states challenged the regulations because the regulations put an end to Planned Parenthood’s and other abortion providers’ use of taxpayer funds to promote abortion to poor pregnant women.
