Washington – The Supreme Court ruled on Thursday for South Carolina for its effort to define Planned Parenthood, concluding that individual medicalid patients cannot sue to enforce their right to choose a medical provider.
The court remained in a 6-3 failure on ideological lines with conservative judges in the majority that the federal law in question does not allow people who are registered in the Medicaid program present such claims.
The ruling written by Judge Neil Gorsuch is an impulse To the State's effort to prevent Planned Parenthood from receiving funds through Medicaid, a federal program for low -income persons that states administer administered states, because it prevents individual patients from imposing their right to choose their preferred medical care provider.
Federal financing for abortion is already prohibited, but conservatives have long been addressed to Planned Parenthood, which provides reproductive health services, including abortions, are allowed, for any financing that it receives even for other services related to medical care.
They argue that even funds not related to abortion that flows to Planned Parenthood would help him carry out his broader agenda that favors abortion rights.
The State's efforts to define Planned Parenthood appeared before the Supreme Court, which has a conservative majority of 6-3, revoked the phrase of the abortion rights of Roe V. Wade in 2022.
South Carolina now has a six -week abortion prohibition, which means that abortions are rare in the state.
Planned Parenthood has facilities in Charleston and Columbia that provide attention to abortion in accordance with the new law, as well as other medical care services, which include contraception, cancer exams and pregnancy tests.
In 2018, Governor Henry McMaster issued an executive order that prohibited Planned Parenthood of South Atlantic, the local affiliate of the National Group, providing family planning services under Medicaid.
Julie Edwards, a patient eligible for Medicaid who wants to use Planned Parenthood, joined a lawsuit filed by the group, saying that according to the Federal Civil Rights Law could enforce their rights in court.
A federal judge failed in his favor, and after long litigation, the Supreme Court agreed to intervene.
