The world’s largest abortion provider is using its multimillion-dollar budget — one-third of which came from taxpayer dollars — to force state governments to give them yet more taxpayer dollars.

Liberty Counsel is fighting back. We filed our powerful amicus brief in Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic. The U.S. Supreme Court will announce its decision in the coming days.

But Congress may undo whatever the High Court decides, unless we demand the House and Senate DEFUND PLANNED PARENTHOOD COMPLETELY!

Tell Congress: VOTE YES on S 203 & HR 271 — the Defund Planned Parenthood Act of 2025!

In 2023-2024, Planned Parenthood made over 2 billion dollars killing babies. More than 792 million of those dollars came directly from U.S. taxpayers. That’s an increase of 93 million dollars from 2022-2023 with which, according to the abortion giant’s own figures, they killed 10,000 more babies than the previous year.

After Liberty Counsel’s brief that was cited by the High Court in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturned Roe v. Wade, states around the country began restricting or banning the brutal killing of helpless children. Many states — including South Carolina – also banned state taxpayer dollars from funding the gruesome practice of murdering unborn children.

Planned Parenthood stood to lose a LOT of money. SO, the baby-killing behemoth is using its considerable fiscal weight to FORCE states into funding murder again, using lawfare.

In 2018, SC Gov. Henry McMaster signed an executive order deeming abortion clinics unqualified to receive state Medicaid funding. South Carolina “has a strong culture and longstanding tradition of protecting and defending the life and liberty of unborn children,” according to Gov. McMaster’s order.

The action was taken, in part, as a result of our client Sandra Merritt, whose undercover videos exposed Planned Parenthood doctors and officials openly bragging about violating federal law to engage in their equally grotesque human organ trafficking scheme.

Help us BEAT Planned Parenthood by supporting our legal fund today and DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT with our Challenge Grant.

Federal law makes it “unlawful for any person to knowingly acquire, receive, or otherwise transfer any human fetal tissue for valuable consideration if the transfer affects interstate commerce” 42 U.S.C. § 289g-2(a).

Gov. McMaster’s order directed state health officials to “deem abortion clinics unqualified” to receive funding for abortion-related services. Shortly thereafter, Planned Parenthood South Atlantic and one of its Medicaid clients challenged the executive order, claiming the order violated federal law under Medicaid’s “any qualified provider” language.

Planned Parenthood believes it has a “right” to collect taxpayer dollars to continue its killing spree. As our brief shows, there is NO SUCH RIGHT, especially for a business that has been repeatedly proven to be both unethical and unlawful.

In 42 U.S.C. § 1396a(p)(1), Congress gave states the right to exclude providers that fail to meet professional and ethical standards from receiving public funds.

Because Planned Parenthood has already been shown to have defrauded the American public, South Carolina is, under the letter of the law, entitled to deem Planned Parenthood as “unqualified,” and therefore banned from receiving public tax dollar funding. That ban includes Medicaid funding.

Yet, Planned Parenthood has repeatedly exploited Section 1396a(a)(23) to challenge states’ disqualification decisions and to keep the taps of public abortion funding flowing, despite the abortion giant’s well-documented violations of state and federal law.

Our brief exposes these facts and more. This case will have NATIONAL impact far beyond the Palmetto State. Alabama, Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, and Texas have also banned state taxpayer funds from going to the abortion giant. The Court’s decision here will not only impact South Carolina but also states coast to coast.

Your prayers and financial support to win this case would be much appreciated. Please consider making a generous one-time donation or even a recurring monthly donation to fund our legal work. When you do, a generous Challenge Grant will DOUBLE the impact of your donation.

There’s one more thing you can do to help stop the flood of taxpayer dollars flowing into Planned Parenthood’s blood-soaked coffers. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) and Rep. Michelle Fischbach (R-MN) have sponsored S 203 and HR 271, the Defund Planned Parenthood Act of 2025. However, these bills are stuck in committee. We need YOUR help to compel Congress to bring these bills to the floor and for Congress to DEFUND Planned Parenthood once and for all!

Tell Congress: VOTE YES on S 203 & HR 271 — the Defund Planned Parenthood Act of 2025!

Pray for unborn children. May each and every one be spared from the abortionist’s knife.
