Tennessee Defunds Planned Parenthood, All Abortion Providers
CNS News ^ | 04/13/2018 | By Craig Bannister

Posted on 04/15/2018 3:49:27 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

Any health care facility providing abortions in Tennessee will no longer receive any government funding, thanks to a new state law.

The amount of state-funded health care will not be cut, just transferred to health care organizations that do not kill the unborn, Live Action reports:

“Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam signed a bill this week that will soon strip Planned Parenthood and other abortion facilities of state funding. The state will now request a federal waiver which allows them to bar TennCare, Tennessee’s Medicaid program, from giving money to any abortion facility.”

“Instead of directing funding towards abortionists, TennCare money will now be given to legitimate health care providers.”

Tennessee had been indirectly funding abortion by giving nearly $1 million in the past six years to abortion facilities like Planned Parenthood, an organization where abortions have accounted for 94% of its pregnancy services.

Big deal - same thing would have happened if the Democrats were in control of Tennessee politics. “Not a dimes worth of difference.” / sarcasm

I saw recently PP has been counseling teeens who had aids that they didn’t have to inform thier “partners” that they had the disease. Manifest evil yet we cannot get Ryan and his buddies to cut off funding.

A judge will overturn this like a judge ruling the USA has no jurisdiction in Nazi Germany’s Concentration Camps.
