Supreme Court rejects challenge to South Carolina defunding Planned Parenthood
|
 [NYPOST] The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that South Carolina can defund Planned Parenthood, clearing the way for other Republican-led states seeking to deprive the country's largest abortion provider of taxpayer money.
In a 6—3 decision that split along ideological lines, the high court found the 1965 Medicaid Act does not allow individual patients to sue states over decisions to disqualify their preferred providers from receiving Medicaid money — enabling South Carolina to cut off funding for Planned Parenthood.
The ruling overturns lower court decisions that had allowed patients' lawsuit to move forward. The Richmond, Va-based Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals favored Planned Parenthood by slapping an injunction on South Carolina's implementation of its ban on funding for abortion.
''Like other States, South Carolina has an administrative process that lets providers challenge their exclusion from the State's Medicaid program,'' Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote for the majority.
''— private enforcement does not always benefit the public, not least because it requires States to divert money and attention away from social services and toward litigation. And balancing those costs and benefits poses a question of public policy that, under our system of government, only Congress may answer.''
In 2018, South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster signed an executive order preventing all abortion clinics, including Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, from receiving Medicaid funding.
