The Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case from South Carolina over whether the state can block Medicaid funds to Planned Parenthood because the nonprofit health organization provides abortions. Public funds cannot be used for abortions, but Planned Parenthood provides testing and routine reproductive health care under the state’s Medicaid program. In a succession of courts, Planned Parenthood has prevailed against South Carolina’s attempts to block all Medicaid funding to it. (Washington Post)

A private-equity billionaire accused of fraud has been kicked off the list of Giving Pledge donors. Arif Naqvi founded the Dubai-based Abraaj Group investment firm, which collapsed in 2018. He has been fighting extradition to the United States to face fraud charges since being arrested in London in 2019. A spokesperson for the billionaire donors group said Naqvi was removed “in accordance with the spirit and intention of the Giving Pledge community.” Naqvi, who has denied wrongdoing, could not be reached for comment.
