A federal judge on Monday ruled Planned Parenthood clinics nationwide must continue to be reimbursed for Medicaid funding as the nation’s largest abortion provider fights President Donald Trump’s administration over efforts to defund the organization in his signature tax legislation.
Even with the announcement, the five Planned Parenthoods that announced they were permanently closing on Friday due to Trump's Medicaid funding cuts will remain closed.
Santa Cruz is one of five locations under Planned Parenthood Mar Monte that announced they were shutting down. The others are San Mateo, Gilroy, Madera and South San Francisco.
This means patients can no longer get access to various healthcare services such as birth control, STD testing and treatment, abortion, family medicine, and behavioral health at those five locations.
The five locations closed were selected based on a set of criteria.
The factors Planned Parenthood Mar Monte took into consideration included patient volume, the parking situation, and making sure there was a nearby Planned Parenthood center to refer patients to.
Patients in Santa Cruz are being referred to the Watsonville Planned Parenthood clinic.
The Planned Parenthood Federation of America is suing, arguing it is unconstitutional to “defund” Planned Parenthood by preventing patients’ ability to use Medicaid at their health centers.
In its lawsuit, Planned Parenthood had argued that it would be at risk of closing nearly 200 clinics in 24 states if they are cut off from Medicaid funds. They estimated this would result in more than 1 million patients losing care.
It is unclear if the clinics will be reopened in the future or if more Planned Parenthood locations are planning to close.
Ping
But killing babies is lawful.
What's wrong with this picture?
Abortion is not “care”...It’s murder!!
Congress controls spending, they passed a law. A judge decided she was boss of the universe, tossed the constitution and invented the power of line item veto for herself. Then issued a natuonwide injunction in defiance of SCOTUS. There is now part of her ruling which is legal in any way, from any angle.
The Kill Disco closing
Then where will the pharmaceuticals get the aborted baby parts to experiment with?
Maybe they’re not reopening because they know the pipsqueak judge’s ruling will be overturned.
(Planned Parenthood had argued that it would be at risk of closing nearly 200 clinics in 24 states if they are cut off from Medicaid funds)
Well, that would certainly be a shame; a darn shame.
What is the status of this clearly unconstitutional ruling by Obama appointed judge?
“various healthcare services “
Remember Obamacare was suppose to solve all these problems. If I were a skeptical man I would think Planned Parenthood was just a democrat party front group for laundering money to the democrat party.
Arrest the judge. Charge her with insurrection and ruin her filthy life.
Since defunding planned parenthood was passed by congress and signed by the president, how did the “judge” fund his decree?
“A federal judge on Monday ruled Planned Parenthood clinics nationwide must continue to be reimbursed for Medicaid funding...”
Maybe you missed that secret part of the Constitution that deals with abortion.. Many judges seem to think it is in there.
It is there by “penumbras and emanations” of the 4th and 14th Amendments. The Supreme Court said so in 1973. The justices couldn’t be mistaken, could they?
