More than 130 members of Congress are asking the Supreme Court to allow states to defund Planned Parenthood.
In an amicus brief filed at the Supreme Court on Wednesday, 108 representatives and 29 senators argued that states should have the flexibility to determine qualified Medicaid providers.
They urged the Supreme Court to hear South Carolina's case on barring Planned Parenthood affiliates in the state from receiving Medicaid reimbursements.
Four South Carolina Republican members of Congress led the amicus brief: Sens. Lindsey Graham and Tim Scott, and Reps. Jeff Duncan and Ralph Norman. In addition, 134 other members signed on.
