Don't get all gushy over McMaster's proclamation. He's the same guy who TURNED KIDS AWAY from free meals because the funding came from Joe Biden. He's played politics with kids' stomachs.

States can block #Medicaid money for health care at #PlannedParenthood, the #SupremeCourt says

WASHINGTON (AP) — "States can block the country’s biggest abortion provider, Planned Parenthood, from receiving Medicaid money for health services such as #contraception and #CancerScreenings, the Supreme Court ruled on Thursday.

"The 6-3 opinion by Justice Neil Gorsuch and joined by the rest of the court’s conservatives was not directly about abortion, but it comes as Republicans back a wider push across the country to defund the organization. It closes off Planned Parenthood’s primary court path to keeping Medicaid funding in place: patient lawsuits.

"The justices found that while Medicaid law allows people choose their own provider, that does not make it a right enforceable in court. The court split along ideological lines, with the three liberals dissenting in the case from #SouthCarolina.

"Public health care money generally cannot be used to pay for abortions, but Medicaid patients go to Planned Parenthood for other needs in part because it can be difficult to find a doctor who takes the publicly funded insurance, the organization has said.

"South Carolina Gov. #HenryMcMaster, a Republican [and asshole], said Planned Parenthood should not get any taxpayer money. The budget bill backed by President Donald Trump in Congress would also cut Medicaid money for the group. That could force the closure of about 200 centers, most of them in states where abortion is legal, Planned Parenthood has said."

South Carolina Supreme Court decides heartbeat definition allows six-week abortion ban

The South Carolina Supreme Court has ruled the state can keep banning abortions around six weeks after conception by agreeing with the earliest interpretation offered of when a heartbeat starts. The justices unanimously ruled that while the medical language in the 2023 law was vague, supporters and opponents of the law all thought it banned abortions after six weeks until Planned Parenthood's recent lawsuit. The challenges to the abortion law aren't over. A federal lawsuit by five OB-GYN doctors says the imprecision of the abortion law prevents them from giving patients adequate care because they fear criminal charges.
