The Supreme Court recently heard a case regarding South Carolina's move to block Medicaid funds to Planned Parenthood, focusing on whether individuals have the right to sue for unrelated medical services. Despite the state's opposition based on the abortion issue, the courts previously ruled that patients should have the right to choose qualified providers under Medicaid. The case emphasizes broader implications of federal funding and individual rights concerning medical care access at Planned Parenthood clinics, which offer various non-abortion-related services.
In 2018, South Carolina's Governor ordered Medicaid funds to be denied to Planned Parenthood, claiming this would prevent taxpayer money from subsidizing abortion practices.
The Supreme Court deliberated whether individuals can sue the state for medical services from Planned Parenthood that are unrelated to abortion, amid a broader funding dispute.
