Melissa Murray: 我认为最高法院对医疗补助计划和计划生育诉讼权的限制，实际上限制了公共福利受益人因权利被剥夺而寻求法律救济的途径。南卡罗来纳州阻止医疗补助选择计划生育作为合格的提供者，因为他们认为对计划生育的任何补贴最终都会用于资助堕胎。最高法院的裁决意味着，即使州政府的行为可能违反联邦法律，个人和组织也难以通过民事诉讼来挑战这些行为。这项裁决不仅仅对计划生育有重要意义，对更广泛的公共福利受益人和民权诉讼也有重要意义，因为它为其他州采取类似措施剥夺计划生育的医疗补助计划资格开了绿灯，并且它对民权执行方式有更广泛的影响。如果各州压制投票权，它们不会起诉自己，某些总统政府也不会挑战压制性投票法，因此私人诉讼通常是执行民权的唯一途径。法院正在为完全取消私人诉讼铺平道路。 Rory Little: 我认为国会可以澄清法律以解决问题，但目前不太可能采取任何支持堕胎的行动。这项裁决是重大的民权决定，类似于19世纪70年代和80年代最高法院限制第14修正案保护民权的案例。最高法院限制了这些法规，这与最初的意图相悖，今天的案例也是如此，它限制了人们在法规赋予权利的情况下主张权利的能力。南卡罗来纳州以计划生育支持堕胎为由，认为他们不合格，这实际上剥夺了患者选择医生的权利。

Shownotes Transcript

So far this term the Supreme Court has allowed states to ban gender transition care for youth, made it easier for white people and other “majority” group members to prove workplace discrimination and temporarily cleared the way for the Trump administration to deport people to countries they’re not from. We talk about the impact of these rulings and other cases still to be decided.
