Noteworthy cases
Court upholds striking of Planned Parenthood defunding law (2013)
Judge Marshall was a judge on a three judge panel, that included Marsha Berzon and Jay Bybee, that affirmed a ruling by U.S. District Judge Neil Wake. Wake ruled that an Arizona law, that defunded Planned Parenthood, was in violation of the Medicaid Act. In her opinion Judge Berzon wrote,
| “ | The Arizona law violates this requirement by precluding Medicaid patients from using medical providers concededly qualified to perform family planning services to patients in Arizona generally, solely on the basis that those providers separately perform privately funded, legal abortions.[2][3] | ” |
