So, Ian, how long is the governor of South Carolina, Henry McMaster, been trying to block Planned Parenthood from receiving funding?

Quite a while now, I believe since 2018.

Ian Milheiser reports on courts and the law over at Fox.

And before we got into Governor McMaster's bid to ban Medicaid recipients from going to Planned Parenthood,

The fact is the veto and the executive order that you issued was a pure political stunt that
