Supreme Court & Politics Over Patients. Planned Parenthood Ruling Disappointing!

I am deeply disappointed by your decision in Medina v. Planned Parenthood. By allowing states to block Medicaid funding for trusted providers like Planned Parenthood, you have deprived millions of low-income Americans of their legal right to access qualified care. These clinics provide essential services, such as cancer screenings, birth control, and STI testing, not just abortions. This ruling will cause real harm to real people.
This decision paves the way for states to target reproductive health providers for political reasons, particularly in areas where options are already limited. It undermines Medicaid's core purpose: to ensure access to care regardless of income. I urge the Court to recognize the human cost of this decision and to reaffirm the right to choose qualified health providers.
