The United States Supreme Court cleared the road this Thursday so that states against abortion and other practices promoted by the extreme left remove public financing from the questioned Planned Parenthood, that faces serious accusations of abuse of minors and adolescents under a Family Planning Facade.
Planned Parenthood is prohibited from now on receiving federal money for abortion, but the sentence adopted by 6 votes against 3 would also allow states to exclude it from funds for other controversial medical services that it provides under the Medicaid program.
The three liberal judges dismit.
The case goes back years ago. In 2018, the Republican Governor of South Carolina, Henry McMaster, cut the financing of Medicaid to the two Planned Parenthood clinics in the state.
Medicaid reimbursements were not related to abortion, but McMaster said that providing funds to Planned Parenthood is equivalent to a “abortion subsidy” and other practical aberrant by taxpayers, which is prohibited in South Carolina for pregnant women of more than six weeks.
A Court of Appeals ruled that Planned Parenthood cannot be excluded from the State Medicaid program and South Carolina appealed to the Supreme Court, where conservatives have a majority.
The highest court ruled that a Medicaid patient cannot sue the State to receive medical care from a provider of their choice.
The SBA Pro-Life America anti-abortion group applauded the ruling of the Supreme Court. He considers him a “great victory for babies and their mothers.”
It paves the way for South Carolina and other states to “stop financing large abortion businesses and other practices without any scientific rigor in children and adolescents such as Planned Parenthood in their Medicaid programs,” the group on the social network X estimated.
Paige Johnson, president of Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, described the decision of “injustice.”
The Supreme Court annulled any federal action to interrupt pregnancy in June 2022.
Since then, more than 20 of the 50 states, including Georgia, have imposed strict limits on abortion, or even total prohibitions.
