Governor Henry McMaster issued an executive order in 2018 directing the state’s Medicaid agency to take abortion providers off its “family planning” services list. Gov. McMaster pointed out that State law prohibits Medicaid funds from being used for abortions except in cases where the mother’s life is in danger or in cases of rape or incest; and that any public money given to Planned Parenthood effectively “results in the subsidy of abortion.” His point (and he is correct on this) is that no matter what Planned Parenthood says the money is used for "on paper," money is fungible.
