On Monday, Justice Kavanaugh joined with Roberts and the (other) liberals on the bench to protect Planned Parenthood funding. Over the objections of Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch, it was decided that the Supreme Court would not hear a case on whether states can defund the baby-killing conglomerate. Two lower court opinions, which require states to continue funding the abortion business, were left in place.
It’s safe to say that the chances of overturning Roe v. Wade just took a steep dive, not that the chances were ever very good to begin with. If Kavanaugh won’t hear a case about Planned Parenthood funding, it seems doubtful that he would want to hear a case challenging abortion rights. It is still too early to say for sure, but Republicans may have replaced Kennedy with another Kennedy, which would rank as one of the great missed opportunities in modern political history.
