Obama Judge Completely Blocks Planned Parenthood Defunding
A pro-abortion activist judge recently revised her own ruling and ordered the federal government to continue sending Medicaid payments to Planned Parenthood and other organizations that kill innocent preborn babies.
Massachusetts District Judge Indira Talwani issued a revised injunction on Monday against the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
A week prior, she had issued a partial block on the law, only allowing Planned Parenthood facilities and other entities that did not commit abortions to continue to receive Medicaid dollars. A revised order yesterday now requires HHS to fund all Planned Parenthood vendors.
The injunction stops a budget bill passed by Congress and signed by President Trump at the beginning of July, which generally prohibits federal Medicaid dollars from going to organizations that kill preborn babies in the womb for one year. While it has been described as a defunding of Planned Parenthood, it affects other alleged “healthcare” organizations that commit abortions (yet curiously this latest ruling relies on the assertion the bill illegally targets Planned Parenthood).
Much like her last ruling, Talwani’s decision reads like a Planned Parenthood news release, repeating the debunked claim that only four percent of what the organization does is kill babies.
“Patients are likely to suffer adverse health consequences where care is disrupted or unavailable,” Judge Talwani, an Obama appointee, wrote yesterday. “In particular, restricting Members’ ability to provide healthcare services threatens an increase in unintended pregnancies and attendant complications because of reduced access to effective contraceptives, and an increase in undiagnosed and untreated STIs.”
However, most of Planned Parenthood’s revenue comes from abortions, many forms of contraception act as abortifacients and cause serious harm to women, and the only ethical and truly effective way to prevent an STI is chastity. Planned Parenthood actually increases the risk of sexual diseases due to
