States can block #Medicaid money for health care at #PlannedParenthood, the #SupremeCourt says

WASHINGTON (AP) — "States can block the country’s biggest abortion provider, Planned Parenthood, from receiving Medicaid money for health services such as #contraception and #CancerScreenings, the Supreme Court ruled on Thursday.

"The 6-3 opinion by Justice Neil Gorsuch and joined by the rest of the court’s conservatives was not directly about abortion, but it comes as Republicans back a wider push across the country to defund the organization. It closes off Planned Parenthood’s primary court path to keeping Medicaid funding in place: patient lawsuits.

"The justices found that while Medicaid law allows people choose their own provider, that does not make it a right enforceable in court. The court split along ideological lines, with the three liberals dissenting in the case from #SouthCarolina.

"Public health care money generally cannot be used to pay for abortions, but Medicaid patients go to Planned Parenthood for other needs in part because it can be difficult to find a doctor who takes the publicly funded insurance, the organization has said.

"South Carolina Gov. #HenryMcMaster, a Republican [and asshole], said Planned Parenthood should not get any taxpayer money. The budget bill backed by President Donald Trump in Congress would also cut Medicaid money for the group. That could force the closure of about 200 centers, most of them in states where abortion is legal, Planned Parenthood has said."

If govt policymakers want their citizens to have more kids

Then:

Accessible #Healthcare
Secure #Housing
#Daycare
#ParentalLeave (both parents)
Sane #workCulture
Quality #Education
Etc

In the #USA #MAGA's desire for more kids seems to have found its policy in "make them poor uneducated and desperate and get rid of #sexEd #abortion #contraception and #womensRights"

I suppose they have a point because neglected unloved kids are future MAGA

Sociologist Dr Howard Jones said there was reason to believe that the affluent society was a bad thing. He added that as people become more affluent society’s standards and behaviour will decline.
