    Supreme Court to weigh state moves to cut off Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood

    The Supreme Court said Wednesday it will consider South Carolina's move to cut off Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood, the latest abortion-related case since the justices overturned Roe v. Wade. The court agreed to take up the state's appeal of a lower-court ruling focused on whether Medicaid patients can sue over their right to choose their own qualified provider. The organization uses Medicaid funding for family planning health services rather than abortions, but Gov. Henry McMaster said any public money sent there “results in the subsidy of abortion.”
