John,
The Supreme Court just delivered a devastating blow to healthcare access, ruling that South Carolina can exclude Planned Parenthood from its Medicaid program. This means thousands of low-income patients will lose access to essential services like birth control, cancer screenings, STI treatment, and prenatal care.
NAME/Friend, please take a moment to sign onto our statement standing with Medicaid patients and encouraging state legislators to protect Medicaid.
64% of Planned Parenthood health centers are in rural and medically underserved communities—and they are often the only affordable, trusted source of reproductive and preventive care. Patients with the fewest resources and least flexible schedules are hit the hardest when affordable providers are under attack.
Over two million patients rely on Planned Parenthood annually across nearly 600 clinics, with almost half depending on Medicaid or government programs.
Today's ruling sets a dangerous national precedent: states can now remove trusted, qualified healthcare providers from Medicaid for purely political reasons, with no legal recourse for patients. This moment proves that the anti-choice playbook is not just about abortion bans — it’s about controlling access to healthcare itself.
We can’t let this decision go unanswered. Please take two minutes to add your name and to stand up for Medicaid patients across the country.
Our work to build governing power for reproductive freedom remains essential -- we're mobilized to protect access, defend providers, and elect pro-choice leaders this November and beyond.
In solidarity,
Sara Tabatabaie
Executive Director
