Statement from Planned Parenthood In Response to SC Lt. Gov Bryant's Press Conference

Contact: Sarah Eldred, [email protected], 919-904-0669

For Immediate Release: June 6, 2017 (Updated: June 6, 2017, 3:16 p.m.)


Statement from Vicki Ringer, South Carolina Director of Public Affairs, Planned Parenthood South Atlantic

“Planned Parenthood South Atlantic has provided annual exams, birth control, testing and treatment for sexually transmitted infections, and lifesaving cancer screenings- such as clinical breast exams and Pap tests- to women, men and young people in South Carolina for over 50 years.

Planned Parenthood does not receive Title X funding or any other grants through the state of South Carolina. We do serve patients who rely on Medicaid for their insurance, and provide basic healthcare to men and women who participate in the state health insurance plan.

Given this clear-cut information, today’s remarks and actions by Lt. Governor Bryant and Governor McMaster are simply a political stunt. While they spend taxpayers’ time and money on scoring political points, Planned Parenthood South Atlantic will continue to focus on providing the wide-range of accessible, affordable health care services that our patients, and their constituents, rely on.”
