A U.S. appeals court panel on Thursday allowed President Donald Trump’s administration to block Medicaid funds to Planned Parenthood while legal challenges continue.
A federal judge in July ruled Planned Parenthood clinics nationwide must continue to be reimbursed for Medicaid funding as the nation’s largest abortion provider fights Trump’s administration over efforts to defund the organization in his signature tax legislation.
Planned Parenthood said Thursday’s ruling means that more than 1.1 million patients can’t use their Medicaid insurance at its health centers. That also puts as many as 200 of those health centers at risk of closure, Planned Parenthood said in a statement.
No matter where you stand on abortion and/or
Planned Parenthood, one thing's for sure: conservatives better keep an eye out on Judge Indira Talwani: an Obama-appointed, uber-liberal, activist judge willing to defy the GOP at every step (even when it comes to bill's passed by Congress and signed by the President) who clearly sees her utter defiance of the Right as a path to perhaps, the Supreme Court one day. Hell, Judge Talwani is even willing to make up shit (like the OBBB being 'unconstitutional' because it cuts funding for Planned Parenthood) as she goes along if it can get in the GOP's way. Yeah, this chick is dangerous.
