Sigh. No change. So the government money goes to administrative expenses, freeing up their private money to pay for the abortions. Honestly.
“freeing up their private money to pay for the abortions. Honestly.”
This is true but we already have several states that are moving against abortion so it seems that the private companies MAY be less and less inclined to go that route.
I mentionned “abortion” I did not say planned parenthood but at least it is good to know that our money don’t pay for it.
ITEM---The President designated as an "emergency requirement" ALL funding so designated by the Congress in the Act pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(A) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, for the accounts referenced in section 7058(d) (Excerpt) Read more at twitter.com ...
ITEM --- Trump has basically told the House....."See ya in court!"
================================
The details (hat tip John Salisbury):
1. Congress allocates money. The President spends the allocated money.
2. Once Congress allocates money, their job is oversight. They don't spend the money and have no say HOW it gets spent.
3. Once the President is given the money, he has a number of choices in spending it....some of the money is fungible and some isn't. 4. By Trump declaring a Human Rights Emergency AND has notified Congress that he's invoking the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, this opens up new spending options. 6. President Trump has just communicated that he has the authority to NOT spend any funds he doesn't deem necessary and will return them to the US Treasury. For example: funds the House allocated for Planned Parenthood? Trump can simply not allocate the funds
7. Trump's declarations also make some funds fungible. For instance if he determines that building a Wall on the Southern Border is a defense against Human Trafficking? He can move funds from anywhere else in the Defense Dept Allocation & simply build the Wall.
8. Congress is powerless to stop cash reallocations AND cannot stop the DOD from taking measures under a presidential-declared Emergency.
9. Despite the House's strict language about the Border Wall, it is outweighed by Trump's declaration of a State of Emergency.
10. Amen

Money is fungible. Every penny of Planned Parenthood is a curse and an abomination.
