Clarifies that abortion clinics and affiliated providers are ineligible for Medicaid family planning services.

This bill amends the South Carolina Code to clarify that organizations and their affiliated providers deemed abortion clinics cannot provide family planning services under the Medicaid program. It prohibits the South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services from directing Medicaid funds to such organizations. The bill references past actions by Governor McMaster and legal precedents that affirm the state's right to determine Medicaid provider qualifications.
