Obama admin warns Florida not to defund Planned Parenthood
Lifesite ^ | 4/5/16 | Fr. Mark Hodges

Posted on 04/05/2016 6:38:16 PM PDT by markomalley

The Obama Administration is again threatening states, this time states which have passed laws rerouting tax dollars away from Planned Parenthood to other health providers.

Most recently, the administration has had Florida in its sights. Marissa Padilla, spokeswoman for the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services,  told the News Service of Florida that she had contacted Gov. Rick Scott's administration, “reminding them of the state’s obligation to ensure Medicaid beneficiaries continue to have access to services provided by any willing provider.”

After Planned Parenthood was exposed by the Center for Medical Progress as trafficking in baby parts --and illegally modifying abortion procedures so as to procure "intact" and "live" babies to sell their brains and other organs for profit (one Planned Parenthood official joked that she wanted to buy a Lamborghini with sales from baby parts), several state legislators chose to divert tax funds from the nation's biggest abortion business to other healthcare centers.

Last month, Florida legislators passed and Gov. Scott signed into law a bill defunding Planned Parenthood of tax money, tightening health regulations, and punishing the sale of aborted babies' limbs and tissue.

President Barack Obama is aggressively fighting this defunding trend, pressuring states to fund Planned Parenthood.  Obama has been called the most pro-abortion leader in America’s history because of his consistent record of extreme abortion support and promotion, even going so far as to vigorously defend infanticide for living babies who survived an abortion attempt as a junior state senator in Illinois.

The Obama Administration also pressured Texas, Kansas, North Carolina, Alabama, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Utah, Louisiana, Ohio, New Hampshire, Wisconsin and any state that considers defunding the abortion giant, threatening them with prosecution.

The Obama Administration has also pressured states to give in to a transgender agenda, allowing schoolboys to use girls’ toilets, locker rooms, showers and changing areas.

The new Florida law defines the first trimester as the 11 weeks following fertilization, ending a dispute the Attorney General had with three Florida abortuaries.

The federal government under Obama's direction even went so far as to use tax dollars to replace funds for Planned Parenthood voted down by state legislatures in Texas, Tennessee and New Hampshire.

The issue rises because PP has two wings, an abortion wing and an other-services wing.

Well it looks like this is a hazard of getting Federal funds. They get to make the rules of what’s fair and what isn’t. Somehow America needs to get itself out of this tangle, where it’s being bribed with its own tax money (ridiculous!) but I think it’s going to need some diligent planning, not just a few failed knee-jerks.

I’m wondering, does Obama ever “warn” any of America’s enemies not to do this or that?

The other services wing is nothing. They just refer people to the other groups who actually do the services.

No, because America is his greatest enemy. Our real enemies are his friends.

I have never gotten a straight story about this, only one meme against another meme against yet another meme.

Why is it legal for PP to make campaign donations while it is receiving taxpayer funding? This is outrageous.

A little googling turns up various discussion about what the various services of PP garner. I’d like to see a solid source that backs up what you said. Not that it’s a good thing for the non abortion wing to be giving name equity to the abortion wing, but we have to treat this with some actual THOUGHT. Sometimes it seems that shooting from the hip substitutes for actual THOUGHT.

When he speaks to our enemies, Obama does not threaten, he just draws little Red and Pink lines in the shifting sands.

Or even better - her mother.

Obama is threatening a sovereign entity.

Other states must recognize this and rise up.

38 states acting in unison can end this.

38 states can throw Obama out of office, end Congress and dissolve the Supreme court.

It is the ultimate authority in this country, not some king wannabe in DC.

The solution is the Constitution. You should try reading it sometime.
