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.
Florida defunds Planned Parenthood, bans sale of aborted babies’ organs
The Constitution and what army? You should try looking around sometime.
Once again the renegade president demonstrates his contempt for the constitution.
The Florida DOJ should place an arrest warrant against
zer0 for murder. Let SWAT teams capture him or bang flop.
OMG - is Obama drawing another red line?
I can’t seem to put my finger on the clause in the constitution that authorizes this expenditure or allows the president to threaten a sitting government over this expenditure.
Horse has not only left the barn but it up and died in a far away field and vultures have picked away everything but its bones.
Do what everyone else wo says they dont do anything else there, has done.
Call them and ask to schedule a mammogram there at PP. They will tell you they do not actually do them there, they refer to other places.
Call and ask to schedule a pap smear. They will refer you because they do not do them.
Call and ask to schedule an womens annual health exam checkup. They will refer you because they do not do them.
People have done this to PP places across their entire states and they all find none actually do these thins but refer them to other groups.
I meant governor, but you got my meaning.
Oooooh! Shudder! That sounds like the punk has drawn a pink line.
The most evil government in the history of our republic.
The most important question that was ever proposed to your decision, or to the decision of any people under heaven, is before you, and you are to decide upon it by men of your own election, chosen specially for this purpose. If the constitution, offered to your acceptance, be a wise one, calculated to preserve the invaluable blessings of liberty, to secure the inestimable rights of mankind, and promote human happiness, then, if you accept it, you will lay a lasting foundation of happiness for millions yet unborn; generations to come will rise up and call you blessed. You may rejoice in the prospects of this vast extended continent becoming filled with freemen, who will assert the dignity of human nature. You may solace yourselves with the idea, that society, in this favoured land, will fast advance to the highest point of perfection; the human mind will expand in knowledge and virtue, and the golden age be, in some measure, realised. But if, on the other hand, this form of government contains principles that will lead to the subversion of liberty — if it tends to establish a despotism, or, what is worse, a tyrannic aristocracy; then, if you adopt it, this only remaining assylum for liberty will be shut up, and posterity will execrate your memory.
Momentous then is the question you have to determine, and you are called upon by every motive which should influence a noble and virtuous mind, to examine it well, and to make up a wise judgment. It is insisted, indeed, that this constitution must be received, be it ever so imperfect. If it has its defects, it is said, they can be best amended when they are experienced. But remember, when the people once part with power, they can seldom or never resume it again but by force. Many instances can be produced in which the people have voluntarily increased the powers of their rulers; but few, if any, in which rulers have willingly abridged their authority. This is a sufficient reason to induce you to be careful, in the first instance, how you deposit the powers of government.
So far therefore as its powers reach, all ideas of confederation are given up and lost. It is true this government is limited to certain objects, or to speak more properly, some small degree of power is still left to the states, but a little attention to the powers vested in the general government, will convince every candid man, that if it is capable of being executed, all that is reserved for the individual states must very soon be annihilated, except so far as they are barely necessary to the organization of the general government. The powers of the general legislature extend to every case that is of the least importance — there is nothing valuable to human nature, nothing dear to freemen, but what is within its power. It has authority to make laws which will affect the lives, the liberty, and property of every man in the United States; nor can the constitution or laws of any state, in any way prevent or impede the full and complete execution of every power given. The legislative power is competent to lay taxes, duties, imposts, and excises; — there is no limitation to this power…
And are by this clause invested with the power of making all laws, proper and necessary, for carrying all these into execution; and they may so exercise this power as entirely to annihilate all the state governments, and reduce this country to one single government. And if they may do it, it is pretty certain they will; for it will be found that the power retained by individual states, small as it is, will be a clog upon the wheels of the government of the United States; the latter therefore will be naturally inclined to remove it out of the way. Besides, it is a truth confirmed by the unerring experience of ages, that every man, and every body of men, invested with power, are ever disposed to increase it, and to acquire a superiority over every thing that stands in their way. This disposition, which is implanted in human nature, will operate in the federal legislature to lessen and ultimately to subvert the state authority, and having such advantages, will most certainly succeed, if the federal government succeeds at all.
In a free republic…

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

More of the leftwing war on babies.
I’m wondering, does Obama ever “warn” any of America’s enemies not to do this or that?
******************************************
Anyone here old enough to recall the cartoon of Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam, where Bugs drew a line in the dirt and Sam stepped over it? Bugs then continued to draw lines and Sam kept stepping over every one of them.
Obama is Bugs. He drew a red line in Syria and Syria stepped over that line without any response. Same has happened numerous times when Obama puts on his “tough” act, as he never follows through. World leaders laugh at him!
Come on Governor Scott, tell this jive, punk ass little boy to go to hell.
Stop using MY MONEY for planned parenthood.
