The United States Supreme Court on Friday Confirmed a Texas law forcing consumers to provide age verification in order to access commercial websites that provide sexually explicit equipment. It was the first time that the court has required requirements for adult consumers to protect minors from such access.

The Supreme Court has authorized South Carolina to prohibit Planned Parenthood access to federal funding of Medicaid for non -aborting services. The decision allows States to prohibit the organization from obtaining Medicaid reimbursements for cancer screening and other care not linked to abortion.
In question, there was a provision of the Federal Medicaid law which guarantees drugs Medicaid the possibility of choosing their doctors, or in the words of the law, they are entitled to “any qualified and disposed supplier”. South Carolina, however, argued that it could disqualify the suppliers of Medicaid for “any reason that the law of the state authorizes”.
