Taxpayer dollars shouldn’t be used to fund facilities that choose to profit off abortion,” said John Bursch, a lawyer with Alliance Defending Freedom, a conservative group. Bursch will be representing the state when the Supreme Court takes up South Carolina's appeal on Wednesday.

South Carolina argues that federal Medicaid statutes give states the flexibility to determine qualified providers. It could topple the abortion juggernaught.

The Supreme Court is set to hear arguments Wednesday over South Carolina’s effort to keep Planned Parenthood facilities from receiving Medicaid funding if they perform abortions, part of a dispute that could impact Congress’ ability to mandate coverage in the program.

U.S. Supreme Courtwill hear arguments about whether South Carolina can remove Planned Parenthood clinics from its Medicaid program over abortion.

There are a lot of reasons to defund Planned Parenthood. Alleged or actual Medicaid fraud is just one of many. In 2021, South Carolina moved to defund Planned Parenthood's Medicaid funding. A federal district court wrongly forced the state to restore that funding.

The Missouri Health Department is now requiring clinics to provide the names of any physicians who prescribe abortion medication.
