—
CINCINNATI (WKRC) — Anti-abortion groups and protesters gathered outside Planned Parenthood’s Cincinnati Surgical Center, calling for an end to the organization’s funding.
This demonstration coincided with the United States Supreme Court hearing arguments on whether patients can sue states that cut Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood.
