Activist lefty judge blocks Trump's defunding of Planned Parenthood

"I've noticed that everyone who is for abortion has already been born." -- Ronald Reagan

 
Well look who’s at it again. A federal judge in Massachusetts, an Obama appointee, naturally, decided to play superhero for Planned Parenthood, slapping a restraining order on a key provision in what Trump called his “big, beautiful bill.” This provision would’ve yanked Medicaid funding from the abortion factory for a year, but U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani said, “Not so fast.” She likes dead babies.

In her ruling, the far leftist didn’t mince words: “Defendants shall take all steps necessary to ensure that Medicaid funding continues to be disbursed in the customary manner.” 

Translation: keep the cash flowing to Planned Parenthood like it’s just another Tuesday. Her order, which lasts two weeks, also bans the Trump administration, their agents, employees, or anyone else in cahoots with them from “enforcing, retroactively enforcing, or otherwise applying” the funding cut. 

Judicial overreach, at its worst, of course.

The Hill points out, “Talwani’s ruling still allows the administration to enforce the provision against other providers, but Planned Parenthood says it comprises almost the entirety of the impacted entities.” 

So, basically, this is a tailor-made carveout for the baby terrorist giant. 

Let’s talk numbers. Planned Parenthood’s 2024 annual report bragged about performing 392,715 abortions from October 2021 to September 2022, a 5% jump from the 374,155 the year prior. This, despite Roe v. Wade getting the boot from the Supreme Court in June 2022. The Catholic News Agency noted, “[T]he document says that locations in states ‘where abortion is protected’ saw a 700% increase in demand.” Oh, and they helped coordinate travel for over 33,000 abortions. Because nothing says “healthcare” like a cross-state abortion road trip.

Just last month, the Supreme Court reminded everyone that lower courts don’t get to play emperor over the Executive Branch. Justice Amy Coney Barrett put it bluntly: “federal courts do not exercise general oversight of the Executive Branch; they resolve cases and controversies consistent with the authority Congress has given them.” 

Apparently, Judge Talwani didn’t get the memo, but more likely disregarded the ruling.

So, for now, Planned Parenthood keeps its taxpayer-funded gravy train, courtesy of a leftist judge with a pen, a vendetta, and no love for the unborn. 

This is just the beginning and we need to wait and see how it pans out for our future children.
