The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Thursday that Planned Parenthood South Atlantic an't sue the state over its closing off of the nonprofit's Medicaid funding because it provides abortions.

The question for the justices was whether Medicaid beneficiaries may sue to receive services under a law that lets them choose any qualified provider.

The US Supreme Court upheld a move by SC Gov. Henry McMaster to prevent Planned Parenthood from providing non-abortion services to Medicaid patients.
