Will HIPAA Protections Continue for Abortion Care? Courts to Soon Decide
- The U.S. Supreme Court will soon rule on two cases involving book censorship in a Maryland school district and healthcare access in South Carolina's Medicaid program.
- South Carolina's challenge follows 2018 executive orders excluding Planned Parenthood as qualified Medicaid providers, amid ongoing debates about reproductive healthcare and parental rights in education.
- Planned Parenthood clinics provide broad health services, many used by LGBTQ+ clients, and a state win could force clinic closures, restricting access to affordable care for thousands of individuals.
- Human Rights Campaign highlighted that a ruling favoring South Carolina would harm patients' rights to choose providers and limit legal challenges, while the plaintiffs in Maryland seek opt-outs from LGBTQ-themed books adopted in October 2022.
- The South Carolina case and Maryland opt-out dispute suggest ongoing tensions over healthcare rights and educational content, potentially affecting access to healthcare and inclusive schooling in coming years.
