TUPELO, Miss. — In the case of Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, the Supreme Court ruled that states have the authority to cut Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers from Medicaid funding. According to the federal Hyde Amendment, it is illegal for public funding to be used for abortions, but Planned Parenthood has received hundreds of millions in government funding annually. The Supreme Court’s decision is not only a win for the pro-life community in South Carolina, but a win for other states to take action and implement measures to defund abortion providers nationwide.
Walker Wildmon, CEO of AFA Action, the governmental affairs affiliate of the American Family Association, is urging to state governments to eliminate taxpayer dollars from abortion providers who benefit financially from the death of innocent lives.
“This is a major win for life and liberty,” said Wildmon. “The Supreme Court just gave states the green light to stop sending our tax dollars to abortion giants like Planned Parenthood. For decades, Americans have been forced to bankroll an industry that profits from the death of children. That ends now. States must act swiftly, cut the funding, and shut down the abortion industry’s grip on our public dollars.”
