Supreme Court declines to hear South Carolina attempt to block Medicaid funding from Planned Parenthood
The Supreme Court on Tuesday declined to hear an appeal of a lower court ruling that blocked the South Carolina Department of Health from cutting off Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood.
The high court’s rejection means that last year’s ruling from the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals will remain in effect, prohibiting the state from terminating Planned Parenthood as a Medicaid provider.
While it takes four justices to approve a petition, the court doesn’t publish the vote totals and it declined to hear the case without comment.
South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster (R) signed an executive order in 2018 prohibiting abortion clinics from participating in Medicaid.
