The U.S. Supreme Court on June 26 ruled that South Carolina may stop abortion provider Planned Parenthood from taking part in the state’s Medicaid program.

The majority opinion in the 6–3 decision in Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic was written by Justice Neil Gorsuch. The new ruling reverses a federal appeals court decision that blocked South Carolina from excluding Planned Parenthood from the program.
