The U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments on Tuesday to determine if states have a right to refuse baby-killing businesses the taxpayer dollars sustaining Medicaid.

In Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, SCOTUS is slated to weigh whether South Carolina is within its rights to find Planned Parenthood ineligible for Medicaid funding due to its abortion obsession.

Conservative U.S. Supreme Court justices appeared sympathetic on Wednesday to South Carolina's bid to strip Planned Parenthood of funding under the Medicaid program in a case that could bolster efforts by Republican-led states to deprive the reproductive healthcare and abortion provider of public money.

The justices heard arguments in South Carolina's appeal of a lower court's decision barring the Republican-governed state from terminating Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, the organization's regional affiliate, because the organization provides abortions.

The Supreme Court has a 6-3 conservative majority.

The justices focused on whether the language of the law governing Medicaid, a joint federal and state health insurance program for low-income people, allows recipients to sue to enforce a requirement that they may obtain medical assistance from any qualified and willing provider.
