On Thursday, in a major 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of South Carolina’s ban on Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood, allowing other states to pass similar bans to protect the unborn.

From The Daily Wire:

Justices voted 6-3 to reverse the Fourth Circuit’s ruling that an individual Medicaid user could bring a federal civil rights lawsuit over Planned Parenthood being excluded from Medicaid in South Carolina.

Justice Neil Gorsuch authored the court’s opinion, saying that Medicaid law does not clearly give patients the right to sue. He noted that states have the authority to decide which health care providers are “qualified” and can participate in Medicaid — for example, doctors who have committed felonies may be excluded. Planned Parenthood can challenge its exclusion from Medicaid through South Carolina’s administrative process, Gorsuch said.

The decision paves the way for other Republican-led states who may want to exclude Planned Parenthood from their Medicaid programs.

We prayed about this decision in articles and webcasts, and now the Lord has answered our prayers! Not only will this make the unborn safer in South Carolina, it may very well lead to other states taking similar actions.

This shows us why its important to pray for our leaders, as God is hearing and answering those prayers.

This ruling, however, is not the end of the fight for life in our nation. As CBN noted in a recent article, the abortion pill has allowed abortions to remain plentiful in America even after the impactful Dobbs ruling of 2022:

Katie Glenn Daniel of Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America said, “The Dobbs decision gave individual states the right to regulate abortion. Half enacted some type of ban, which at first led to fewer abortions. Now, however, they’re on the rise largely because abortion pills are being mailed pretty much anywhere.”

“I think some people might’ve thought that the Dobbs decision was the end of the story, and we wish that were the case,” she continued. “The challenges ahead of us are great, even as we celebrate three years of the Dobbs decision.”

A new report shows there were about 95,000 abortions a month nationwide last year. That’s up from about 88,000 a month in 2023.

The so-called abortion pill is used about 70 percent of the time.

CBN notes that states around the nation are fighting against the abortion pill, especially since the pill is being mailed by doctors in pro-choice states to patients in pro-life states. Perhaps, in its next term, the Supreme Court will take up this issue and rule decisively on this dangerous pill.

In the meantime, let’s pray. Let’s thank God for the high court’s pro-life ruling and pray for a definitive end to abortion in America!
