45% : Their attorneys petitioned the Supreme Court, asking it to hear the case and affirm that Medicaid recipients do not have a "private right" to challenge a state's decision to declare specific providers, like Planned Parenthood, would not be qualified to receive taxpayer funding.
38% : After McMaster issued an executive order in 2018 that directed the South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services to stop abortion clinics from receiving taxpayer funds "for any purpose," Planned Parenthood and Julie Edwards, a patient, sued the state and saw the governor's order eventually blocked by a district judge.
