ALASKA, July 1, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy has a message for the state’s Supreme Court: If you’re going to force taxpayers to fund abortions, that money is coming out of your budget.
The Alaska Supreme Court has continually ruled that the state must fund abortions, so Dunleavy slashed the amount it has been spending on the deadly practice from the state judiciary’s budget.
Via a line-item veto, Dunleavy reduced the budget of the state’s courts by $334,700 – the amount of public money spent on elective abortions annually.
“The Legislative and Executive Branch are opposed to state-funded elective abortions; the only branch of government that insists on state-funded elective abortions is the Supreme Court,” the governor’s office explained of its fiscal year 2020 budget. “The annual cost of elective abortions is reflected by this reduction.”
“The Federal Government also prohibits any federal funds paying for elective abortions,” the document notes.
“The Alaska Supreme Court has a long history of extremist rulings on abortion,” Alaska Family Action (AFA), a division of the Alaska Family Council, posted on Facebook when Dunleavy finalized the budget. “But until today, they never suffered any real consequences for it. Now they will start feeling the pain of their own arrogance. Every dollar the state spends on killing unborn children will be cut from their budget.”

Awesome. This general concept should be replicated on a national level.
The courts in this country are out of control from top to bottom. Three equal branches doesn’t mean two branches at the mercy of the robed priesthood of judges.
Let them make rulings from a card table wearing a black table cloth in the multi-purpose room, and clear them out in time for senior bingo.
They think money grows on trees? Nah, they are going to find out it comes from their budget.
Slow clap.
Sweet. Wish DJT could do this stuff.

Fantastic!

Absolutely beautiful.
Major kudos to the good Governor.
This general concept should be replicated on a national level.

A push back like this is long overdue. We need to be far more forceful in pushing back on judicial activists who are nothing more than liberal politicians in black robes.
The judiciary has been increasingly overstepping its bounds. Enough is enough.
Outstanding!!!

He vetoed funding for higher (so they call it) education as well. Sounds like a very good guy!
VERY WISE MOVE
