On November 23, 1921 President Warren Gamaliel Harding signed the Sheppard-Towner maternity and Infancy Protection Act of 1921. It was ruled Unconstitutional in the US Supreme Court on May 15, 1922, it took until 1929 to completely defund it.

The Supreme Court actually rejected the challenge to Sheppard-Towner in Commonwealth of Massachusetts v. Mellon, 262 U.S. 447 (1923).

I am a little confused here everything I find states it was ruled Unconstitutional. help me to see what you are seeing. I do not want to steer anyone in the wrong direction. I am a person whom deals with facts and if you see someting that I write is wrong I want to be corrected immediately. thanks, just trying to read what you write too. I am not a person to take offense, just everything i am finding states it was ruled unconstitutional and took until 1929 to defund it in its entirety, 1927 the funding was extended for 2 years for 15 of the states. (If there a problems with grammar, punctauation at times - voice activated software is not the greatest, and sometimes when I double check errors are not evident right away).
