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.

The order from Governor Henry McMaster makes it clear that the state will not do business with the abortion industry and specifically the Planned Parenthood abortion company. Here’s more:

The executive order directs state agencies to cease providing state or local funds – through grants, contracts, state-administered federal funds or any other form – to any physician or medical practices affiliated with an abortion clinic that is operating with or in the same physical location as one, according to the release. “There are a variety of agencies, clinics, and medical entities in South Carolina that receive taxpayer funding to offer important women’s health and family planning services without performing abortions,” said McMaster in the release. “Taxpayer dollars must not directly or indirectly subsidize abortion providers like Planned Parenthood.”

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

SIGN THE PETITION! Congress Must De-Fund Planned Parenthood Immediately

McMaster’s administration is already putting the new order into effect and helping women find health care alternatives not run by an abortion agency.
