The Supreme Court is divided on whether funding for Planned Parenthood can be blocked by a state, a decision that carries the weight of a larger fight on abortion.

At different intervals, dueling speakers, a woman with a siren horn, a tuba band, a Christian rock band and more vied for attention.

Pro and anti-abortion protesters lined up outside the Supreme Court in Washington D.C., as the justices heard a Planned Parenthood defunding case.

Conservative U.S. Supreme Court justices appeared sympathetic on Wednesday to South Carolina's bid to strip Planned Parenthood of funding under the Medicaid program in a case that could bolster efforts by Republican-led states to deprive the reproductive healthcare and abortion provider of public money.

The US Supreme Court heard arguments on Wednesday over a move by the state of South Carolina to eliminate funding for Planned Parenthood because the reproductive health organization provides abortions.

The liberal prevailed in a technically nonpartisan Wisconsin State Supreme Court race that took on national importance. Voter turnout is an indication that Americans remain deeply engaged in the electoral process.

Last fall, Wisconsin Republican Eric Hovde spent days sowing doubt in the results after he lost a Senate race to Democrat Tammy Baldwin. He conceded nearly two weeks after Election Day, saying he did not want to “add to political strife through a contentious recount” even as he raised debunked election conspiracies.

Liberal judge Susan Crawford won Wisconsin's state Supreme Court race, while Republicans held two Florida congressional seats in Tuesday's election.

Republicans would be wise to seize the moment while this failure is raw to remind Trump what a political loser his buddy is turning out to be.

Susan Crawford’s Wisconsin Supreme Court election victory cemented a liberal majority on the state’s top court for at least three more years.

Elon Musk was a prominent fundraiser in the campaign, and was the subject of attack ads aired by Crawford's supporters.
