Pro-life states claim feds are starving them by usurping Congress, ask Supreme Court to intervene

As the second Trump administration prepares to commandeer the regulatory apparatus, blue states may be hoping the Supreme Court strikes down Biden administration demands on red states to protect them from the same treatment under President Trump.

More than 20 states, nearly as many federal lawmakers and dozens of conservative, pro-life and religious groups asked SCOTUS to overturn a ruling that refused to block the Department of Health and Human Services from cutting off Oklahoma's Title X family planning funds for not giving women information about abortion.

Like many red states, Oklahoma further restricted abortion after SCOTUS scrapped federal abortion rights and returned the issue to the states in the Dobbs ruling.

A split 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel saw no problem with HHS saying it was "unambiguous" that Title X requires recipient states to provide "nondirective counseling and referrals for all family-planning options, including abortion," regardless of Dobbs.

Oklahoma must at least take the compromise HHS offered, a "national call-in number" for Oklahomans to access "neutral information" including for abortion, if it wants Title X money.

The federal governmental agencies are shake-down mobsters. They force conservative states to do their bidding by withholding federal funds.

That’s because the federal government agencies are being run by criminals. Thankfully, that’ll change after Inauguration Day when Donald puts his cabinet together.

No federal funds should go to states for any reason. That’s why we have a $36T+ debt. Get rid of all these useless federal institutions.

The original plan was for STATES to send money to the federal government, in proportion to their population (“direct taxes” clause)

There are too many women on the court. Needs to go down to 2 or 1 at most.

“They force conservative states to do their bidding by withholding federal funds.”

Repeal the 17th Amendment.

Whatever happened to States Rights?

If a pro abortion state wants to kill children then they should not look to the federal government for help.
