The U.S. Supreme Court has just issued its ruling in Medina v. Planned Parenthood, the case that asked whether South Carolina was allowed to exclude Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider, from receiving Medicaid funds.
With the Pro-Life Action League’s decades-long record of opposing and protesting Planned Parenthood—including a nationwide protest the day oral arguments were heard in Medina—executive director Eric Scheidler offers the following statement:
Speaking for the pro-life activist movement, I’m thrilled to hear the Supreme Court has ruled that states can exclude the violence of abortion from their healthcare systems. Most Americans don’t want their tax dollars paying for abortion, so this is a real victory for the people.
Folks showed up in the thousands to protest at Planned Parenthood centers across the country on April 2, the day oral arguments were heard in Medina v. Planned Parenthood, in the hopes of just this outcome.
This Saturday, June 28, we’re holding another nationwide protest at Planned Parenthood centers demanding the full defunding of Planned Parenthood and all abortion providers at the federal level. If you want to know how people feel about Planned Parenthood, take a look outside their centers this weekend.
Abortion providers don’t need to be major players in American politics. It’s time for the era of Planned Parenthood to come to an end.
