The states in these two cases determined that giving Planned Parenthood state Medicaid funds was not a wise use of their limited resources, and that they could better serve their citizens by reallocating those funds to other comprehensive and preventive health organizations that are run more responsibly and offer a broader range of services.
Without intervention by the Supreme Court, states like Kansas and Louisiana will be forced to continue to provide tax dollars to the nations largest abortion business.

This will be more of a test of Chief Justice Roberts, now that he is the new swing vote.”
No doubt. He will be hearing from his handler.
Exactly. Roberts is an institutionalist. He will not vote to overturn Casey (Roe).
It may be that it was three Lefty justices who wanted the case. If there's only 8 justices, and a deadlock, then the lower court's pro-Planned-Parenthood ruling stands.
Look out for Gorsuch. He looks a little swishy on immigration. Who know how he will go on other issues?
I was just speculating that some conservative justices might have wanted to wait until a new justice was in place, rather than hear the case while there was a vacancy that could lead to a 4-4 ruling.
Abortion is all about money and population control for Planned Parenthood. Many of their death chambers have been closed for lack of money. If they close, they cannot kill our growing American children.
Here is what we can achieve, a bechmark achievement, against the pro-abortion agenda.
It begins with the simple basic fact - Roe V Wade ONLY says that abortion is legal, nothing more. That’s it.
Lots of controversial things are legal - smoking, now marijuana in some places, and in most states adultery is not so much illegal as a legitimate factor in divorce cases. Yet they all remain morally controversial. But the government does not and is not required to get behind them, insure they are available and support them with government funds. Nor are individuals who chose not to supply or support such things forced to just because they are legal.
Nothing in Roe V Wade demands government funding, government support, or government mandates on anyone to support abortion, in any way. There is no mandate in Roe V Wade for employers to cover abortion in their bemefit plans, no mandate for insurers to include abortion in health insurance, no madate for any health care provider to participate in providing an abortion, and no mandate for government at any level to support abortion financially.
Achieving those benchmark realities through the Supreme Court we can reduce the presence of abortion, reduce the financing to the abortion political machine - planned parenthood, and come out stronger in the public in the moral war against abortion. It would be like cutting off the head of the snake. It is also more achievable than a direct assualt to make abortion illegal at this time. That could come, later, after the tide against the abortion support network is achieved.
