Blocking Planned Parenthood From Medicaid Will Only Worsen the US Maternal Health Crisis
Briefly

Musk and Ramaswamy’s pledge to strip funding from organizations like Planned Parenthood misrepresents federal funding realities, suggesting a direct link between federal dollars and abortion services.
The action to defund Planned Parenthood reflects longstanding discrimination, compromising access to healthcare services for those most in need and deepening healthcare disparities in low-income communities.
The ongoing legal struggle in South Carolina to exclude Planned Parenthood from Medicaid highlights a broader attempt to target reproductive health providers under the guise of efficiency.
The narrative that federal funding broadly supports abortion perpetuates misconceptions and ignores the vital range of healthcare services that organizations like Planned Parenthood provide to underserved populations.
