Washington state Attorney General Bob Ferguson announced Monday that he plans to sue the Trump administration over new rules cutting off federal family planning funds from abortion providers.

Jay Inslee, the governor of Washington who is considering a presidential run, gave his backing to the move, calling the new rules an attack on women’s rights.

“calling the new rules an attack on women’s rights”

The Supreme Court may have ruled women have a right to get abortions, but they don’t have a right to make me pay for them.

I just wonder if they thought this through. The suit will make it’s way up through the appeals system to the U.S. Supreme Court, and they will lose.

= = = = = = = =
I’ll go a ‘step further’

Say they ‘need’ the money, that is one thing BUT when they starting OPENLY donating money to politicians, time to cut the apron strings.

Ever notice how PBS ‘thanks’ its big time donors (who are more than likely ‘accepting’ a tax break for donating) but I have yet to hear them say...

THANK YOU, American Taxpayers.

Bet your bippy if these orgs were giving to non LIB pols, the practice would cease and ALL funds cut off.

Since when is having a abortion family planning?Seems to me that the pregnancy wasn’t planned at all.

The left needs to stop using that euphemism.

Yes, but they will have virtue signaled that they love baby-killing and hate Trump, which earns them their boda fides in the Leftist world.

Okay, I will start an organization — promoting women’s rights — then demand taxpayer funding and then sue the government for discrimination when it doesn’t fork over the money.

Planned Parenthood and its liberal pushers think PP is a Constitutional mandated fourth branch of government.

And the Christians were silent about Planned Parenthood all this time because they never read legislation, they never figured out that money was being channeled to Planned Parenthood via their tax dollars. Not paying attention is shameful.

Sideshow Bob Ferguson is a hardcore leftist with a bad hairpiece. A complete a-hole.

The Washington AG sues Trump admin over EVERYTHING. This must be suit 15+

I don’t think he does any other state business.

I never understood, Planned Parenthood or otherwise, why a non government organization gets direct tax dollars.
