Trump gives states power to cut off Planned Parenthood money
The Washington Times ^ | April 13, 2017 | Stephen Dinan

Posted on 04/13/2017 10:57:57 AM PDT by jazusamo

President Trump signed a bill Thursday freeing states to withhold federal family planning grant money from Planned Parenthood, marking the first major pro-life legislation to be signed into law in more than a decade.

The bill unravels an Obama-era regulation that insisted states couldn’t refuse to spend family planning money with Planned Parenthood or any other organization that performs abortions.

“This is a major pro-life victory,” said House Speaker Paul D. Ryan.

More than a dozen states moved to strip Planned Parenthood of government funding in recent years as questions arose about the country’s largest abortion provider. In particular, lawmakers in Republican-led states were reacting to a series of undercover videos that purported to show Planned Parenthood officials negotiating the sale of body parts from aborted fetuses.

“No, it’s the poor Trump detractors that can’t find anything to be happy about.”

He’s done lots of stuff that I am happy about. I am especially happy that he is moving forward with the wall and with deportations. I am happy that his election has brought many border crashers to self deport.

I do wish that he had used his magic wand to do everything on January 20th, but, oh well. Into every life a little winning must fall.

videos that purported to show Planned Parenthood officials negotiating the sale of body parts from aborted fetuses.

No purporting about it, they absolutely negotiated the prices.

Fox radio may have reported that, but there are other women’s clinics out there that don’t do abortions, yet still provide birth control and many other actual women’s health care exams. So I am very happy about this development!

And some two bit Federal District Judge will strike it down in a heartbeat, and Trump will probably go along with that just like every other GOP goofball in the swamp. He has already shown no stomach for the fight in limiting judicial tyranny. Gorsuch was Grand, maybe, but it was more important for him to tell the Fedjudge who struck down his immigration order to go pound sand.

I hear you but this was a bill, not an EO and it restored states rights.
