Cecile Richards, President of Planned Butcherhood Parenthood, has visited the Obama White House 39 times, which is more than some cabinet members.
This current Head of State would never defund the abortion giant because they campaign for the Left and contribute far too many dollars towards pushing the liberal agenda.
It’s sick that anyone would willingly defend this organization, but such is the Democrat lifestyle.
Now, if states go forward with defunding PP, the Obama administration is threatening them with a potential violation of federal law, and cutting off Medicaid funds.
If you go against me, you will pay – that should’ve been 44’s campaign slogan in 2012.
Goodbye states rights. You’re forced to kowtow to the radical Left.
[From Breitbart:
Following the release of investigative videos exposing Planned Parenthood’s practice of harvesting the body parts of aborted babies for potential sale to biomedical companies, Alabama, Louisiana, and New Hampshire have canceled their Medicaid contracts with Planned Parenthood, as CNSNews.com reports.
In Wisconsin, for example, state Rep. André Jacque (R) is attempting to address all the layers of government funding of Planned Parenthood that are under control of his state in several pieces of legislation. While Gov. Scott Walker and the state legislature have redirected about $1 million annually from Planned Parenthood to a Women’s Health Block Grant, the abortion giant’s affiliate in Wisconsin still receives between $15 and $16 million in taxpayer money annually, mainly through Medicaid and Title X “family planning” funding.
In an HHS guidance document from 2011, the Obama administration said states are not allowed to exclude providers from Medicaid solely on the basis of the types of services they offer.
According to the WSJ report, should the states continue to block Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood, they can request a hearing to settle the matter; however, should the conflict continue, CMS could cut Medicaid funds to the state.
The HHS guidance, however, also says that states can exclude providers from Medicaid funding if their engagement in certain criminal acts is proven, a provision that many believe is the case with the videos of Planned Parenthood’s top medical personnel discussing the sale of aborted baby organs and body parts.
“This really hasn’t been tried before,” said Casey Mattox, senior legal counsel at Alliance Defending Freedom. “Planned Parenthood has contracts with states that can be terminated for cause. In other situations the contracts were not terminated for cause.”
After praising the organization for its 100-year existence, Obama told Planned Parenthood, “God bless you.”]
Yes, God bless an organization that kills those who cannot speak or defend themselves, because numerous videos of Planned Parenthood selling aborted baby body parts just don’t matter.
Accepting funding federal funding of any sort makes states vulnerable to Washington’s whim. It would be impossible (for politicians) to say no to federal money for their constituents and those who did would be out of office PDQ. It’s time to re-think how the various governments work. After the breakdown, probably.
It really is past time for nullification ordinances and secession. And where are McConnell and Boner??
The Executive branch and CONgre$$, after what has been revealed to us about Planned Pre-Meditated Pulling Apart Babies for Profit, is the most evil government in the history of the republic. We are FORCED to pay for these deceivers…this death cult.
Plunder and death…the calling cards of criminals, socialists, totalitarians.
Zero representation on fundamental aspects of life, liberty.
With all this defense of the indefensible PP, I believe that the dems WILL succeed in removing God from the party platform in 2016. They were reluctant to do it even when it was clear most delegates wanted it in 2012. They are truly losing their souls to evil.
What a sick country this has become. Prayers up that it can still turn around.
Another example of tyranny from elected officials, this will stop when we are serious.
Thenreason I expext he really loves her is the great kickback scheme they have ... taxpayers fund PP who then kicks him back huge donations. That’s thievery where I come from.
> It really is past time for nullification ordinances and secession. And where are McConnell and Boner??
Probably somewhere in a closet together, one kneeling...
Not just Dems, maybe. We were cleaning out some files three weeks ago and found a copy of the 1992 Republican platform... we speculated how many of the GOP-e of today would disavow it publicly (they already have by their perfidity)?
Mr. niteowl77
Let me get this straight.
Obama is threatening to withhold money for states that stand up against Planned Parenthood’s inhumane actions, but willing to fund Iran in its inhumane efforts to destroy Israel.
no medicaid?
Obama’s fault
They are Obama’s chief lackeys.
He can do any thing and will, unless somebody in the GOP stops him in Congress but Boehner and McConnell are working hand in glove with this criminal.
This man MUST be pursued through the courts for the rest of his life until SOMEHOW he is defreedomed.
All Republican governors should defund PP...all 30 of them.
The little dictator!
If they cut off medicaid funds, the state needs to quit paying federal income taxes to DC
The only programs that need federal funding are those that cannot be regulated by a state. Items that cross state borders, federal highways for instance, defense of the nation, another. But Planned Parenthood has NOTHING to do with state borders. Such an institution should be controlled by the local gov. If Vermont wants to kill babies and most if their voter base votes for it, the babies can be killed in Vermont. If Mississippi decides abortion is murder, and the voter base agrees...then there is no abortion in Mississippi. We the people should decide these issues, not some bureaucrat a thousand miles away physically and light years away politically!
