The U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way on Thursday for South Carolina to strip Planned Parenthood of funding under the Medicaid health insurance program in a ruling that bolsters efforts by Republican-led states to deprive the reproductive healthcare and abortion provider of public money.

Anyone on public health insurance would not be able to visit a Planned Parenthood, period,” a Planned Parenthood executive in Massachusetts said.

The Supreme Court said Medicaid recipients don't have a right to sue over their state's decision to cut off Planned Parenthood from the government-funded health program.
