The Supreme Court's recent decision in Medina v. Planned Parenthood, passed by a 6-3 vote, allows states to cut Planned Parenthood from their Medicaid programs, severely impacting access to healthcare for millions. This ruling undermines a key civil rights statute from 1871, changing the landscape of federal protections against state actions. Although the case is based on Medicaid funding rather than abortion access, it still involves significant non-abortion services provided by the organization, which are now at risk. Critics argue that this decision is a harmful overreach by the conservative majority of the Court.
