Oklahoma asked the U.S. Supreme Court this week to force the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to release millions of dollars in grants the agency withdrew over the state’s refusal to provide abortion referrals.

HHS takes the position that Oklahoma ceased to be entitled to the funding when it made clear it would not include abortion in its information about family planning services.
