Supreme Court says states can block Medicaid money for health care at Planned Parenthood

WASHINGTON (AP) — States can block the country’s biggest abortion provider, Planned Parenthood, from receiving Medicaid money for health services such as contraception and cancer screenings without facing lawsuits from patients, 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.

... South Carolina argued that patients should not be able file such lawsuits. The state pointed to lower courts that have been swayed by similar arguments and allowed states such as Texas to act against Planned Parenthood.

The high court majority agreed.

“Deciding whether to permit private enforcement poses delicate policy questions involving competing costs and benefits — decisions for elected representatives, not judges,” Gorsuch wrote. He pointed out that patients can appeal through other administrative processes if coverage is denied.

Tough break for taxpayers. Most of the extra kids born as a result (if any) will cost orders of magnitude more in medicaid than the cost of the abortions.

If the court decided this is a states issue why should the Feds have to fund it.  I’m also pro choice before you go all ninja on religion.  I’m also not religious.

Don't care specifically where it goes, as long as we're funding removals of unwanted fetuses. It's a basic right.
