Baby-killing as usual indicated:
1. Section 33 – DHHS
Proviso 33.12 –
Reveals Medicaid funding of fake “pro-life”, pro-“abortion” Hyde Amendment to pay
for “abortions” in cases of rape, incest, so-called life of the mother
In spite of 2019 GAO Report that South Dakota had not paid for Medicaid rape and incest “abortions” since 1994 (for 25 years); see page15:

2. Section 108 – PEBA
Proviso 108.4 –
Funding for SC State “Health” Insurance Plan to pay for “abortions” for rape, incest, so-called life of the mother cases
___________________________________
South Carolina taxpayer dollars also fund “birth control”, some of which can cause chemical “abortions”.
SC State Budget line items are sufficiently vague so that it would require an FOIA request to actually find out how much is budgeted to pay for baby-killing so-called “birth control” [child-prevention]. Just another way our SC State Government officials evade accountability to the taxpayers and citizens of South Carolina.

3. Then there is the Medicaid funding of mass-murderers PLANNED PARENTHOOD.
Two of the three remaining “abortion” mills in SC (down from 12 in 1988) are Planned Parenthood centers.
Recall that the SC Governor’s Executive Budget has two competing Provisos in Section 33:
SC Governor’s Executive FY 2022-2023
State Budget Bill
Provisos – Part 1B
https://admin.sc.gov/sites/default/files/budget/FY%2022-23%20Proviso%20Text_FINAL.pdf
Proviso 33.25 (PAGE 360) which does nothing now; key words “once the federal injunction is lifted”. The federal injunction has to do with preventing the Governor from removing Planned Parenthood from the SC State Medicaid program as an authorized provider. The federal court issued an injunction against that.
However, Proviso 33.28 (PAGE 360) is a real attempt to defund Planned Parenthood, now, by instructing SC DHHS not to accept ANY federal funds for “family planning”, which would of course include any such funds for Planned Parenthood.
Proviso 33.25 is an example of “Republican” Leadership fake “pro-life” theater. Proviso 33.28 would get something done, but Proviso 33.28 is not included in the Ways and Means Committee version of the State Budget H.5150.
The fake “pro-life” SC House Ways and Means Committee version of State Budget only has Proviso 33.25, with make-believe defunding language. “Republicans” especially in Leadership are good at “pro-life” theater. Watch their deeds, not their fake words. Funding of certain baby-killing and baby-killers continues year after year after year in the SC State Budget !

16 These six things doth the LORD hate; yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17 a proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
