Supreme Court invites Solicitor General to file a brief in an abortion funding case
The Supreme Court today invited the U.S. Solicitor General to file a brief after abortion providers sued to reinstate Medicaid funding.
This morning the Supreme Court invited the U.S. Solicitor General to file a brief in a case in which a Planned Parenthood affiliate sued the State of South Carolina to get Medicaid funding.
Public funding of abortion – the details
The Court issued the invitation in the case of Kerr v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic (Case No. 21-1431). The South Carolina Department of Health, refused Medicaid funding in 2018 to abortion clinics in their State. Planned Parenthood sued. The Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit affirmed an earlier District Court ruling to reinstate the funding. Robert Kerr, present Director of the State Health Department, has now appealed to the Supreme Court.
At issue is whether and under what circumstances Planned Parenthood (or anyone else) has standing to sue a State in federal court over such funding.
105 Republicans in the House of Representatives, and 23 Senators, have filed an amicus curiae brief to support Kerr. They contend that Congress intended for States to determine for themselves who qualifies as a health-care provider, and who doesn’t.
Now the Supreme Court has invited the U.S. Solicitor General to weigh in.

The Federal Government has no authority to give money to “Planned Parenthood” to kill unborn children. “Planned Parenthood” is not supplying goods and services to the Federal Government. Such spending would be specific Welfare and Congress has no authority to engage in specific Welfare. That type of thing is the responsibility of the States that comprise the United States of America.
