Pence Eyes Options After Planned Parenthood Ruling

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) _ Indiana Gov. Mike Pence is considering options after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal of a ruling that threw out a state law stripping Medicaid funds from Planned Parenthood.
 
  Pence, a fierce opponent of Planned Parenthood during his time in Congress, said Tuesday that his staff is reviewing the case and he’ll decide what to do after viewing his legal options. 
 
  Pence says he’s disappointed in the ruling and he continues to feel strongly that taxpayers should not be required to support what he calls “the largest abortion provider in America.”
 
  The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Oct. 23 that the law targeting Planned Parenthood went too far because it denied women the right to choose their own medical providers.
