WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Priests for Life National Director Frank Pavone released the following statement today as the U.S. Supreme Court handed a significant victory to the pro-life movement.
In a 6-3 decision written by Justice Neil Gorsuch, the Court said Medicaid laws do not give individuals the right to bring federal lawsuits against states. The case, Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, grew out of South Carolina’s decision to remove the nation’s largest abortion seller from its Medicaid program.
“This is one of the unfolding victories of the 2022 Dobbs decision and rightly shows deference to the states,” said Pavone, who was outside the Supreme Court as the decision was announced. “People should not have the right to bar states from disqualifying abortion providers from receiving taxpayer money.”
