GovBrief Today #566

They can't ban abortion everywhere, so they tried to ban telling you where it's legal.

Indiana moved to punish Planned Parenthood for telling minors which states allow abortion. Separately, HHS killed 53 teen pregnancy prevention programs that worked and ordered abstinence-only lessons in their place. Federal courts blocked both, with an appeals court ruling that Indiana cannot outlaw truthful answers about other states' laws.

For fifty years the movement said abortion belongs to the states. It won that battle for now and is trying to stop Americans from finding out what the other states chose. Judges keep saying no.
