Description
The Supreme Court says states can block the country’s biggest abortion provider, Planned Parenthood, from receiving Medicaid money for health services such as contraception and cancer screenings.
Planned Parenthood says the court's Thursday ruling will hinder access to certain kinds of care for 1 million patients in South Carolina and could allow for wider funding cuts in other states. South Carolina's Republican governor, Henry McMaster, applauds the court's ruling.
South Carolina argued no public money should go to Planned Parenthood, even if it’s not paying for abortions. The White House says the ruling underscores President Donald Trump’s position that states should determine abortion policy.
