The Supreme Court on Thursday blocked Planned Parenthood from suing South Carolina over the state’s decision to pull the organization’s Medicaid funding because it provides abortions. The decision could prompt other red states to target the organization and make it harder for Americans enrolled in the program to choose their doctor. The decision was yet another loss for Planned Parenthood and its allies at the conservative court, which three years ago wiped away the constitutional right to abortion by overturning Roe v. Wade. Though the legal issue at the center of the case was technically not about abortion, the court’s decision threatens funding for an organization that is a leading provider of reproductive healthcare. This story is breaking and will be updated.
