EMILYs List Statement on U.S. Supreme Court Allowing States to Block Medicaid Patients from Accessing Care At Planned Parenthood

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the U.S. Supreme Court delivered a decision in Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, allowing the state of South Carolina to block Medicaid funding from Planned Parenthood because it provides abortions. This decision means South Carolinians enrolled in Medicaid may no longer be able to use their coverage at Planned Parenthood for birth control, cancer screenings, STI testing and treatment, and other preventive health care. It opens the door to other Republican-led states to follow suit and threatens access to sexual and reproductive care for up to 70 million people with Medicaid coverage across the country.

EMILYs List President Jessica Mackler released the following statement condemning the decision:

"Republicans keep proving that the lives of American people are just collateral damage to reach their final goal: ban abortion nationwide."
