Popular Democracy Statement On Medina V. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic

“Trumpism and its hard-right austerity measures will kill Americans, this is just more proof of that.”

WASHINGTON, DC — In response to the Supreme Court’s ruling allowing South Carolina to restrict Medicaid holders from using Planned Parenthood, Analilia Mejia and DaMareo Cooper released the following statement:

“The Supreme Court decision to limit the healthcare choices of millions of the poorest Americans simply because they’re too poor to matter to the Trump administration brings shame onto our court and those who cheer it. Life and death should not depend on wealth. For scores of Medicaid recipients this bill  means no more cancer screenings, no more preventive care, no OB-GYN services, and the loss of so much more.

“Trumpism and its hard-right austerity measures will kill Americans, this is just more proof of that.”
