Planned Parenthood Facing 'Catastrophic Consequences' After Supreme Court Rules Against Group
WesternJournal ^ | 6/26/25 | Bryan Chai

Posted on 06/26/2025 4:47:45 PM PDT by CFW

Thursday morning saw a flurry of decisions and updates from the Supreme Court of the United States.

Many were helpfully captured in a long thread by legal expert Jonathan Turley on X, who chronicled the rapid-fire announcements.

Buried in that thread was a key decision that SCOTUS made in the case of Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic.

“We have our second opinion. It is Medina v. Planned Parenthood, an important case that has not drawn as much attention,” Turley explained. “It is written by Justice Gorsuch in a 6-3 opinion.”

Turley further explained: “The Court considered whether there is a private right of action for people to challenge South Carolina’s decision to end Planned Parenthood’s participation in the state’s Medicaid program. The Court says no. Medicaid laws do not give an unambiguous right to bring a federal civil rights action.”

As Turning Point USA’s Charlie Kirk pointed out, this creates a legal precedent that would prevent taxpayer money from going towards Planned Parenthood.

“The big loser today is Planned Parenthood,” Turley argued. “The Court ruled in Medina that South Carolina could bar public funding and that there is a right to sue.

“The group said that this would have ‘catastrophic consequences,’ since one-third of its revenue comes from government funding.”

God answers many of our prayers just not necessarily on our timetable.

Yea, that was kind of the whole point of the law.

They will have to be supported non-governmentally, just like conservative organzaions.

Catastrophic consequences? You mean like an abortion?

Why is any of their revenue coming from the Feds? That is the real question. The same for the “Legal Services Corp.,” Medicaid for illegals, all programs through USAID, and on and on. Why should the federal government have the power to confiscate anyone’s wealth to give it to someone else? Why?

Yes. Unanimous but for three neurotic morons whose unison voting betrays the absence of capacity for individual thought.

Given how much PP makes in a year, they could still survive well without taxpayer slush money.

Why should the federal government have the power to confiscate anyone’s wealth to give it to someone else? Why?


https://www.progress.org/articles/the-us-governments-power-to-confiscate

. The U.S. Constitution does not provide the federal government with any power to confiscate or freeze property except by taxation, punishment for a crime, and, under the 5th Amendment, for public use with just compensation.

......

The thinking goes, if the government has the power to draft a person into the army, how could it not have the lesser power to just confiscate property?


you have a good question. General rule and then the exceptions............

What PP will advertise:

"A woman's right to choose is being eviscerated!"

What PP is actually thinking:

"All those little darkies will be born and we will have to pay to support the monkeys until they end up in prison for life. No more opportunities to kill them in the womb!"
