States can cut off Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood, the Supreme Court rules
- The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on June 25, 2025, that states can block Planned Parenthood from receiving Medicaid funding in a 6-3 decision authored by Justice Neil Gorsuch.
- This ruling followed South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster's 2018 executive order barring Medicaid reimbursement to abortion providers, with the case originating from a lawsuit by patient Julie Edwards.
- The Court held that while Medicaid law allows choosing a provider, that right is not enforceable in court, closing Planned Parenthood's main legal avenue to retain funding.
- Planned Parenthood officials warned this decision could hinder preventive care for about 1 million Medicaid patients in South Carolina, where $90,000 in Medicaid funds go annually to the organization.
- The ruling could lead other conservative states to cut Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood, significantly affecting access to health services and raising concerns over personal freedom to choose care providers.
