The barking moonbat, federal judge Indira Talwani, already put a 14 day temporary order in a week ago, then doubled down thinking it was all about the 1st and 5th Amendments. And thinking the SCOTUS ruling about district judge orders not applying nationwide didn’t apply to her order. And she really thinks she is in charge of the federal power of the purse
Federal judge blocks Trump administration from defunding some Planned Parenthood facilities
A judge on Monday temporarily blocked the Trump administration from stripping some Medicaid funds from Planned Parenthood after Congress and President Donald Trump agreed to partially defund the nonprofit through passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
Judge Indira Talwani of the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts said in her order partially granting a preliminary injunction that the bill unconstitutionally punishes Planned Parenthood member organizations that do not provide abortions.
The injunction will risk “at most minimal harm—financial or otherwise” to the Trump administration while the lawsuit proceeds, Talwani, an Obama appointee, wrote.
The judge’s order appears to apply to some but not all Planned Parenthood facilities. The nonprofit said in a statement that it viewed Talwani’s order as a partial win and remained “hopeful” that the judge would take further judicial action down the line.
“This isn’t over,” the organization said. “While we’re grateful that the court recognized the harm caused by this law, we’re disappointed that not all members were granted the necessary relief today.”
Talwani does realize that this is not the Trump administration doing this, but, the duly elected Legislative Branch which passed a law that no longer allows public funds to be used for abortion providers, right? Or, is she that Trump deranged? Eh, why am I asking, of course she’s that Trump deranged.
Talwani’s order arose from a lawsuit brought by Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider, over the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, a massive budget bill that passed Congress this month with no Democrat support. Trump signed the bill into law on July 4.
A provision in the bill stripped Medicaid funding from Planned Parenthood, which the nonprofit said could force it to close about 200 of its 600 facilities and deprive about half of its customers, more than one million people, of services that do not include abortion.
PP makes about $1.5 billion a year, gross. They’ll be just fine losing the half billion they get yearly. Certainly liberal supporters can pony up the money, right?
The judge noted that her injunction applied to Planned Parenthood entities that do not provide abortion services or receive less than $800,000 in annual Medicaid reimbursements.
She thinks she can create a nationwide injunction. And is in charge of Congressional appropriations. Crazy people.
Moonbat teach quadruples down against Planned Parenthood and women’s healthcare.
Conservative males have long opposed civil rights for women. For gawd sakes, they elected a serial sexual assault perp…
Sexual assault? Hardly.
Rimjob didn’t read the article he posted.
What current “civil rights for women” are they against? Actually, there are no separate rights for women.
I didn’t say there were separate civil rights for women, just that women have civil rights, too. Any abrogation of rights directed against women is a violation of civil rights.
Let’s say you’re a dirt poor man with prostate problems and Congress decides that urologists can no longer receive any federal funding for vasectomies or STDs. Would that be fair that medicaid not pay?
In the case of poor women, many receive medical care at Planned Parenthoods – including birth control, STD testing and treatment, cancer screenings, and general wellness care. They also provide sex education and resources, prenatal care and mental health support.
It is already illegal for federal funds to pay for abortions.
We understand that MAGAts want to ban all abortions, which affects women much, much more than men. Planned Parenthood will just legally separate their abortion services from their other services.
Teach’s Pet The Lyin’ Pissant DIDN’T read the article.
Over two dozen other women have accused the cheatin’ arse of sexual assault. And his best friend, Jeffrey Epstein, was a serial pedophile.
Teach’s beloved Israel offers free abortions to all, including to minors without parental permission
Since st one time Mr Teach said abortion was THE cornerstone of conservatism,should the USA continue to financially support that ?
In the Bible the penalty for causing an abortion is a fine of 2/3s of an ounce of silver.lol payable to the father for his wasted exertions. In Israel a fetus is not considered to be a human with a soul. The fetus is a human only after it takes its hirst breath, the quickening.
