In upholding South Carolina's ban on Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood clinics, the Supreme Court has restricted access to essential health services for many low-income women and families. While federal funds cannot be used for abortion services except in limited cases, Planned Parenthood provides vital preventive care like cancer screenings, contraception, and routine exams through the Medicaid program. This decision undermines the freedom of Medicaid patients to choose their qualified health care provider. Women, particularly those with limited resources, deserve full access to affordable reproductive and preventive health care from the providers they trust. Protecting this access ensures better health outcomes and empowers individuals to make informed choices about their well-being. We urge reconsideration of policies that impede women's constitutional rights and their ability to receive comprehensive care.
