The U.S. Supreme Court declined to take a case with big implications for women's health care, Planned Parenthood and whether states can block people from using Medicaid for health care services at Planned Parenthood.
The result is that people can use Medicaid money for pregnancy-related Planned Parenthood services. Now, this is not for abortion-related services. Federal law prohibits people to use Medicaid money for abortion.
Pretty sure this just showed that Kavanaugh is staying true to his word in that he considers Roe v Wade settled law.
How do you figure? The case the Court didn’t take up here doesn’t really have anything to do with abortion and the right to privacy.
If Kavanaugh was really looking to overturn RvW then this more than likely would have been heard so as to make getting help via PP harder. Without that Medicaid its quite possible that PP would have to at least shut down a few areas making the availability of abortions harder to get.
Only if he wasn’t really a jurist, but an anti-abortion activist. If he just thought that RvW wasn’t constitutionally decided correctly, as many originalists feel, he wouldn’t decide an unrelated case incorrectly just to restrict financially hurt planned parenthood.

He was accused of such many times before he was confirmed. That was the main selling point for those that didn't like him before Mrs. Ford came along.

"...these cases are not about abortion rights. They are about private rights of action under the Medicaid Act. Resolving the question presented here would not even affect Planned Parenthood’s ability to challenge the States’ decisions; it concerns only the rights of individual Medicaid patients to bring their own suits."
"The question presented also affects the rights of the States, many of which are amici requesting our guidance. Under the current majority rule, a State faces the threat of a federal lawsuit—and its attendant costs and fees—whenever it changes providers of medical products or services for its Medicaid recipients."

He certainly was by some people. That doesn't mean that the only two options are super anti-abortion activist willing to decide a case incorrectly just to hurt abortion and someone who would uphold RvW.
The fact is that a high percentage of Federalist Society and constitutionalist justices don't agree with the way RvW was decided. They don't find the right to privacy extending to abortion to be textually supported by the Constitution or consistent with the framer's intent or the intent of the writers of the 14th Amendment.
Is Kavanaugh necessarily among them? I don't know. But it is consistent with a large number of people who share his judicial philosophy.
