Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region v. Robert Knodell

Summary

The Court affirmed because the State did not appeal the circuit court's independent judgment for Planned Parenthood on its equal protection claim. The Court also rejected the State's arguments that Planned Parenthood lacked standing, waived its claims through its provider agreement, or was required to exhaust administrative remedies. Because the unappealed equal protection ruling independently supported the judgment, the Court declined to reach the single-subject constitutional issue.
