...and with its death, many Americans will die.
Nearly 70% of Planned Parenthood's patients have incomes at or below 150% of the federal poverty level. This means that the majority of Planned Parenthood patients are low-income individuals. In vast parts of the country, it is the only place people on Medicaid can get any reproductive care.
Remember when republicans cried about Death Panels? Well, poor rural republicans are about to find out exactly what that means.
A 6-3 decision, with all three liberal justices dissenting.
Thomas wanted to go further... "to reexamine more broadly this Court’s §1983 jurisprudence . . . ."
Sigh.

Everyday we see why the only demographic Trump won was uneducated, low-income men...
Trump lost college educated women 61% to 37%.
Trump lost non college educated women 53% to 45%.
Trump lost college educated men 49% to 48%.
Trump won non college educated men 61% to 37%. (MAGA)
Throughout history, tyrants have understood that their major enemy is an educated citizenry.
Slaveholders prohibited the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Putin and Xi censor books and the media.
Ignorance is the handmaiden of tyranny.

The SCOTUS has not killed Planned Parenthood, although their services in several states will be restricted. Sadly, these are the states with the worst healthcare coverage. States where PP provides much needed healthcare for low-income women.
Only 3% of PP services are related to abortions. The. Other 97% goes to family planning, cancer screening, maintaining healthy pregnancies, etc. In an overwhelming high percent of cases, PP provides the only healthcare low income women ever receive.
Also, not one cent of federal funding goes to abortion services.
Planned Parenthood has a very generous set of donors (Ms. Wolf and I will be making a large QCD to PP this year) who become more active when under attack.
Unfortunately, PP is used to attack by sexist white male politicians for many decades. So far, they and have weathered them all and I suspect this one will be no different.

Now the red states can gut Planned Parenthood and bring down the life expectancy of red staters, even more! Winning!
"Residents of Democratic-leaning ("blue") states have a higher average life expectancy than those in Republican-leaning ("red") states, with the gap typically exceeding two years."
"For example, Hawaii (a blue state) has the highest life expectancy in the U.S. at 80.7 years, while Mississippi (a red state) has the lowest at 71.9 years."
"Red states tend to have higher rates of poverty, less access to healthcare, higher rates of drug abuse deaths, more gun violence, and more complications from treatable diseases like diabetes."
"Vaccination rates also play a role; studies suggest that if red states had vaccination rates comparable to blue states, tens of thousands of deaths could have been avoided."
"The political divide in life expectancy across the U.S. is stark and persistent. Blue states, offer residents a longer life expectancy than red states, a difference driven largely by policy choices, public health investments, and socioeconomic factors."
