The US Supreme Court agreed Wednesday to consider South Carolina’s efforts to bar taxpayer funds to Planned Parenthood.

In Kerr v. Planned Parenthood, the court will decide: “Whether the Medicaid Act’s any-qualified-provider provision unambiguously confers a private right upon a Medicaid beneficiary to choose a specific provider.” The US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit concluded in March that “the answer is … yes.”

While federal law prohibits the use of Medicaid funds to provide abortion, Planned Parenthood provides numerous other healthcare services. However, in 2018, South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster ordered the state Department of Health and Human Services not to allow any abortion providers to participate in the state’s Medicaid program. Medicaid patient Julie Edwards and Planned Parenthood filed a federal lawsuit and prevailed in the lower courts.

Arguments are expected sometime this spring with a decision by the end of June. South Carolina currently bans abortions after six weeks or when a fetal heartbeat is detected.
