SCOTUS receptive to South Carolina bid to defund Planned Parenthood

Source: Reuters

“Conservative U.S. Supreme Court justices appeared sympathetic on Wednesday to South Carolina’s bid to strip Planned Parenthood of funding under the Medicaid program in a case that could bolster efforts by Republican-led states to deprive the reproductive healthcare and abortion provider of public money. The justices heard arguments in South Carolina’s appeal of a lower court’s decision barring the Republican-governed state from terminating Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood South Atlantic.” (04/02/25)
