The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case on whether US States have a right to end taxpayer funding of abortions [1].
If successful, the outcome could result in the cancellation of government funding of giant abortion providers like Planned Parenthood.
The specific case begun when South Carolina determined that Planned Parenthood was not qualified to receive taxpayer funding as part of its Medicaid programme. However, a federal district court intervened and forced the state to restore the funding. This was then appealed to the Supreme Court.
The effort to strip Planned Parenthood of public funding began in earnest in 2015 after undercover videos released by David Daleiden’s Center for Medical Progress showed abortion providers bragging about making money from selling or passing on the body parts of aborted babies to research companies. The dark and gruesome admissions contained in the videos shocked the world and prompted congressional hearings that discussed withholding taxpayer funds from Planned Parenthood and others.
