Why ask, California doesn’t.
The feds should not force any state to spend state funds in a way that the state opposes.
Our local media outlets are going to go ballistic if this happens. The way they memorialized the “martyred”, Dr George Tiller, tells you all you need to know about them. I’m getting the popcorn ready, LOL.

"We want the Supreme Court to weigh in on this issue, and we look forward to the outcome."
Noting that no sovereign state in our constitutional republic should have to ask the Supremes for their "expert" advice on such an issue imo, please consider the following from related threads.
Patriots are reminded that, in stark contrast to the rights that the Founding States expressly protected when they amended the famous Bill of Rights to the Constitution, the states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect the politically correct right to have an abortion.
So where did the so-called "right" to have an abortion come from?
Consider that institutionally indoctrinated, state sovereignty-ignoring Supreme Court justices wrongly breached the Founding States' division of federal and state powers, first stealing state powers and then abusing those powers by politically “amending" the fictitious right to have an abortion to the Constitution.
This is why post-17th Amendment (17A) ratification, uniparty Democrats and RINOs fight tooth-and-nail to keep a pro-abortion activist justice majority on the Supreme Court imo. By doing so, activist justices are able to keep the politically correct “right” to have an abortion alive.
Because by keeping the politically correct abortion "right" alive, uniparty Democrats and RINOs can keep exploiting low-information women by providing such women with unconstitutional federal funding for abortion in exchange for their votes, election after election.
In fact, blind leading the blind career Democrats and RINOs have foolishly helped to murder enough babies that they’ve seriously shrunken their voting pool to the extent, evidenced by Hillary losing the presidential race, that they have resorted to trying to enlarging their voting pool with illegal votes from illegal aliens, deceased people and their pets.
Corrections, insights welcome.
This is why patriots must finish the job that they started when they elected Trump president.
More specifically, patriots must now be making sure that there are plenty of Trump-supporting, pro-life candidates on the 2018 primary ballots who will commit to impeaching and removing pro-abortion activist Supreme Court justices from the bench, and pink-slip career lawmakers by sending patriot candidate lawmakers to DC on election day.
And until the states wake up and repeal the ill-conceived 17A, as evidenced by concerns about the integrity of the outcome of Alabama's and Pennsylvania's special elections, patriot candidates need to win elections by a large enough margin to compensate for possible deep state ballot box fraud and associated MSM scare tactics.
