A federal judge in Indianapolis on Friday blocked part of an Indiana law that cut off public funding for the state’s Planned Parenthood outlets because they provide abortions, the Associated Press reported.
U.S. District Judge Tanya Walton Pratt, who was appointed in 2010 by President Barack Obama, granted the family planning organization an injunction that voids the portion of the Indiana law, recently signed by Republican Gov. Mitch Daniels.
The Indiana law, which accounted for about $1.4 million and was challenged by the American Civil Liberties Union and Planned Parenthood, would have been the first to deny Medicaid funds to the organization for general health services, its attorney told the AP.

If someone wants to do that to themselves, they have no business expecting my taxmoney to pay for it. They should get the money together themselves.
Judge Barker was nominated by Reagan in ‘84.
U.S. District Judge Sarah Evans Barker was a Reagan Appointee, but even some of the Reagan appointees over time turn leftist like Sandra O’Connor.
So the private organization Planned Parenthood has a prior claim on our taxpayer dollars. There is nothing we can do about it. Elections don’t matter. Democracy doesn’t matter. All the baby killers need in their corner is one democrat judge. How long will we put up with this?
It’s tyranny. One has too much power over the many. It was not meant to be this way.
