Court Ruling Upholds Medicaid Block on Planned Parenthood
Liberty Check
The federal government can lawfully prevent Planned Parenthood from receiving Medicaid funds, following a new court decision. Constitutional limits on federal spending are being reaffirmed against activist resistance.
- The Trump administration’s policy stopping Medicaid funds to Planned Parenthood has been upheld by an appeals court.
- This overturns a lower court ruling that had argued such action unfairly targeted abortion providers.
- The ruling holds until appeals are resolved, potentially impacting over a million patients and 200 clinics, according to Planned Parenthood.
The appeals panel, all selected by President Biden, stated,
“defendants have met their burden to show their entitlement to a stay of the preliminary injunctions pending the disposition of their appeals of the same.”
This move echoes the Justice Department’s stance that Congress, not federal judges, sets spending priorities. Limiting government funds to organizations that provide abortions respects taxpayer rights and supports the rule of law.
Stand strong in defending constitutional boundaries and fiscal accountability. We must remain vigilant as unelected judges and entrenched interests attempt to override the will of the people.
The Constitution must be defended.
