The world’s largest abortion provider tried to use its 2.1 billion-dollar-a-year budget — 39% of which came from taxpayer dollars — to force state governments to give them yet more taxpayer dollars. 

But the states, with help from Liberty Counsel, fought back in Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic.

The Supreme Court just ruled against the abortion giant, freeing states to defund Planned Parenthood. Now it’s time for Congress to finish the job by defunding Big Abortion once and for all.

Congress will vote THIS WEEK!

In 2023-2024, Planned Parenthood made over 2 billion dollars killing babies. More than 39% of that money, a whopping 792 million dollars, came directly from U.S. taxpayers. 

After Liberty Counsel’s brief that was cited by the High Court in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturned Roe v. Wade, states around the country began restricting or banning the brutal killing of helpless children. Many states — including South Carolina – also banned state taxpayer dollars from funding the gruesome practice of murdering unborn children.

Planned Parenthood stood to lose a LOT of money. SO, the baby-killing behemoth is using its considerable fiscal weight to FORCE states into funding murder again, using lawfare.

In 2018, SC Gov. Henry McMaster signed an executive order deeming abortion clinics unqualified to receive state Medicaid funding. South Carolina “has a strong culture and longstanding tradition of protecting and defending the life and liberty of unborn children,” according to Gov. McMaster’s order.

The action was taken, in part, as a result of our client Sandra Merritt whose undercover videos exposed Planned Parenthood doctors and officials openly bragging about violating federal law to engage in their equally grotesque human organ trafficking scheme.

Federal law makes it “unlawful for any person to knowingly acquire, receive, or otherwise transfer any human fetal tissue for valuable consideration if the transfer affects interstate commerce” 42 U.S.C. § 289g-2(a).

Gov. McMaster’s order directed state health officials to “deem abortion clinics unqualified” to receive funding for abortion-related services. Shortly thereafter, Planned Parenthood South Atlantic and one of its Medicaid clients challenged the executive order, claiming it violated federal law under Medicaid’s “any qualified provider” language.

Planned Parenthood believes it has a “right” to collect taxpayer dollars to continue its killing spree. As our brief showed, there is NO SUCH RIGHT, especially for a business that has been repeatedly proven to be both unethical and unlawful.

Demand Congress DEFUND BIG ABORTION!

In 42 U.S.C. § 1396a(p)(1), Congress gave states the right to exclude providers that fail to meet professional and ethical standards from receiving public funds.

Because Planned Parenthood has already been shown to have defrauded the American public, South Carolina is, under the letter of the law, entitled to deem Planned Parenthood as “unqualified,” and therefore banned from receiving public tax dollar funding. That ban includes Medicaid funding. And now the Supreme Court of the United States agrees.

Yet, Planned Parenthood has repeatedly exploited Section 1396a(a)(23) to challenge states’ disqualification decisions and to keep the taps of public abortion funding flowing, despite the abortion giant’s well-documented violations of state and federal law.

Our brief exposed these facts, as well as Planned Parenthood’s vile history and more. This win has NATIONAL impact far beyond the Palmetto State. Alabama, Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, and Texas have also banned state taxpayer funds from going to the abortion giant. The Court’s decision here will not only impact South Carolina but also states from coast to coast.

The SCOTUS ruling in Medina v. Planned Parenthood marks our 39th win on cases we have argued or briefed before the U.S. Supreme Court.
