The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) told the Supreme Court on Aug. 15 it should not have to give millions of dollars in grants to Oklahoma that the agency withdrew over the state’s refusal to provide abortion referrals.

HHS argues Oklahoma should lose the funding because it made clear it would not include abortion in its information offerings about family planning services.
