The governor of South Carolina today issued an executive order that blocks state agencies from using taxpayer dollars to fund the abortion industry. The order prevents the use of either state or local taxpayer funds to go to any doctor or Health Clinic that is an affiliate of an abortion business.

What was South Carolina doing funding abortion in the first place? The Hyde Amendment prohibits any funding on the federal level, of which PP has its roots.

From the article:

This is good news because three clinics run by the Planned Parenthood abortion company are reimbursed by Medicaid for some abortions.

The Hyde Amendment has exceptions for “life of the mother,” rape, and incest.
