Medina v. Planned Parenthood Is a Direct Attack to Reproductive Justice

T/W: Mention of sexual assault at 20:29

Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic was a Supreme Court case this term that specifically targeted efforts to kick Planned Parenthood and other reproductive healthcare providers out of Medicaid. In a 6-3 ruling, the Supreme Court sided against access to care. Dr. Regina Davis Moss, President and CEO of In Our Own Voice, National Black Women’s Reproductive Justice Agenda, sits down to talk with us about Medina v. Planned Parenthood and how this case is a direct assault on hard-fought reproductive justice progress.

Reproductive justice is rooted in human rights and is about the ability to exercise economic, social, and political power to make decisions about one’s body, family, community, and other life aspects in a safe and sustainable environment. But Medina, which successfully displaced Planned Parenthood and other reproductive health care providers from Medicaid, threatens 200 Planned Parenthood health centers and 1.1 million patients who depend on Planned Parenthood for a spectrum of care. This extreme barrier will prevent people, families, and communities from accessing reliable health care and ultimately realizing reproductive justice.
