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.
I think the timing is right for a battle over Planned Parenthood funding. The Republicans just need to redirect the funds and claim the dispute is not about abortion. Those are future battles. Just keep the focus on Planned Parenthood.
Planned Parenthood’s servers should be seized as part of a criminal investigation. The more we dig, the harder it will be to defend them.
Screw ‘em and their blight house too.
Not just PP. That is the M.O. of the Dem party. Whenever a Dem politician says build infrastructure or schools, it is code words to unions, "Hey I got your back with govmint money, so you cover my back."
Now that is funny!
These murderers make Mengle look like the head dr. At a family practice clinic.
In the “club” with a bottle of 100 year old scotch.
Kick backs are illegal last I heard.
> Kick backs are illegal last I heard.
Oh the ways they have around them. Donations or redistributed funding among many other forms. The public only knows the half of how the feds are screwing us with our own taxes.
More tragically sad than funny.
Yeh, in my business, even the appearance of a kick back is grounds for prosecution. The feds would be all over you. Some pigs are more equal than others.
