Red State Lands SCOTUS Win as Supreme Court Rules Against Planned Parenthood Funding
The US Supreme Court has ruled in favor of South Carolina in a challenge to Planned Parenthood's Medicaid funding, siding with the state in its dispute over abortion restrictions. The decision gives lawmakers in states like South Carolina more control over how federal funds are spent on family planning services.
The US Supreme Court has ruled in favor of South Carolina's law banning most abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected, in a decision that undermines Planned Parenthood's efforts to expand access to reproductive healthcare nationwide. The court's 6-3 conservative majority sided with the state, which argued its abortion ban was constitutional under the 14th Amendment. The ruling effectively blocks Planned Parenthood from operating an abortion clinic in South Carolina until it can reapply for a license after the law takes effect next year. The decision marks a significant victory for Republican lawmakers and pro-life advocates across the country.
