The 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday overruled a preliminary injunction from liberal U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani, allowing a federal provision to defund the Planned Parenthood abortion business through Medicaid to take effect and continue during ongoing litigation.
The decision, which lifts a temporary block on the funding ban, marks a significant victory for pro-life advocates who have long pushed to redirect taxpayer dollars away from the abortion company.
The American Center for Law and Justice, which filed amicus briefs supporting the government’s position, hailed the ruling as a “crucial” step in “defending the sanctity of life and ensuring that taxpayer dollars are not used to fund organizations that perform abortions.”

We can’t depend on semi-sane courts overruling garbage like Indira Talwani.
Need to remove her from the Federal bench, period.
Good. The court didn’t buy the lie that PP does any actual “family planning” and their primary service is abortion.
These higher court reversals of district court rulings against Trump are running five to ten times normal reversal rates for appeals
Amazing
As I understand it, she didn’t make a ruling against Trump per se, but rather ruled that Congress cannot pass a law defunding Planned Parenthood. I was unaware that Planned Parenthood had a Constitutional guarantee of government funding.
Overruled!!!
No Beyotch. You do not get to exercise presidential powers as a district court judge. If you want to do that, get elected president yourself.
