Supreme Court Takes Axe to Planned Parenthood in South Carolina, Allows State to Cut All Medicaid Funding

The corrupt Supreme Court yesterday handed the Trump regime another win in its fight to strip modern medicine away from Americans, this time by ruling that South Carolina can cut off Medicaid funding from Planned Parenthood, a decision that has implications for those in other states, The Washington Post reported.

All three liberal justices dissented in the ruling. It reversed a lower court’s decision that allowed Planned Parenthood South Atlantic and a patient to sue after South Carolina withheld all Medicaid funding for the organization because it offers abortions. Now patients who use Medicaid can’t get any services at Planned Parenthood clinics in South Carolina, including birth control and cancer screenings. The ruling means that people will die unnecessarily. But odious union-busting creep Gov. Henry McMaster said it protects the sanctity of life, which, no it doesn’t.

What it actually does, as Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote in her dissent, is “strip those South Carolinians — and countless other Medicaid recipients around the country — of a deeply personal freedom: the ‘ability to decide who treats us at our most vulnerable.’”
