Judge Issues Universal Ban on Defunding Planned Parenthood
Timothy Birdnow
What part of "you can't issue nation-wide injunctions" doesn't this puta understand?
Judge Indira Talwani Expands Order, Mandates Medicaid Funding for All Planned Parenthood Clinics
This was a law dutifully passed by Congress and signed by the President. There is no constitutional issue with it. She is simply imposing her personal prejudice on the matter and usurping lawmaking power.
She should be impeached for this.
FTA:
Odd; I don't recall seeing a right to Federal dollars for abortionists in the U.S. constitution, not even in the amendments.
And her reasoning is that it somehow denies people healthcare access, but Planned Parenthood does little besides abortion and contraception and they almost always refer patients who need actual health care to another provider. They are almost exclusively an abortion mill.
She's going to be overturned on appeal, but since this is not a permanent injunction it will probably stay in her court (which is no doubt why she did it this way). This forked tongue Indian lass is playing for time, methinks.

She should be impeached for this.
FTA:
U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani, a President Obama appointee, granted a preliminary injunction, blocking the provision and essentially mandating Medicaid funding for all Planned Parenthood clinics as litigation continues. Talwani released the expanded order after issuing an order last week only partially blocking the provision for a subset of clinics that did not independently meet the provision’s "prohibited entity” definition: [Planned Parenthood Federation] members that do not provide abortions because of state law or those who received less than $800,000 in Medicaid reimbursements in 2023.
"Patients are likely to suffer adverse health consequences where care is disrupted or unavailable,” Talwani wrote in her order. "In particular, restricting Members’ ability to provide healthcare services threatens an increase in unintended pregnancies and attendant complications because of reduced access to effective contraceptives, and an increase in undiagnosed and untreated STIs.”
Talwani added that the court is "not enjoining the federal government from regulating abortion and is not directing the federal government to fund elective abortions or any healthcare service not otherwise eligible for Medicaid coverage.”
She wrote:
Instead, this order grants preliminary relief that prevents Defendants from targeting a specific group of entities—Planned Parenthood Federation Members—for exclusion from reimbursements under the Medicaid program where Plaintiffs have established a substantial likelihood that they will succeed in establishing that such targeted exclusion violates the United States Constitution, and where Plaintiffs satisfy the remaining requirements to obtain a preliminary injunction.

I doubt she hasn't heard that she's in violation of the Supreme Court's orders on this -- she can't be that dense -- so I assume she's just playing the old Throw In The Monkey Wrench game and see how long she can get away with it. It's too bad there isn't a rule that she gets slapped hard for this, and if she does it again she gets dis-benched -- or whatever they call it with judges.

Planned Parenthood does a great deal more than abortions, but your points about the judge are quite on point.

Dana, the Supreme Court should be able to remove judges who willfully violate their rulings. But of course there are no mechanisms in place to do that. You're right; a judge should have to defend his/her/xi disobedience, and if it happens more than once get debenched.
Bill, PP does indeed do more things, but in the end they almost always refer any medical issues out. Their primary purpose is contraception and abortion. Hell; the damned thing was created by eugenicist and racist Margaret Sanger and she founded it to eliminate minorities and "bad stock" as she saw it. Said so many times.
I don't know how PP ever got it's mitts on taxpayer money in the first place. Why should the government fund such an entity?
