BREAKING: Ohio defunds Planned Parenthood and abortion industry

Earlier this month, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a lower court ruling and upheld a 2016 Ohio law that rerouted approximately $1.3 million in state funding from abortion facilities (like Planned Parenthood) to Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs). As Live Action News previously reported, “… Planned Parenthood… successfully managed to get an injunction blocking the law, with U.S. District Judge Michael Barrett ruling that stripping the abortion giant of its taxpayer funding would cause ‘irreparable injury.'” The Sixth Circuit disagreed, with Judge Jeffrey Sutton writing, “Private organizations do not have a constitutional right to obtain governmental funding to support their activities. The state… has no obligation to pay for a woman’s abortion. Case after case establishes that a government may refuse to subsidize abortion services.”

Now, Ohio has followed through with its original plan and has defunded Planned Parenthood and other abortion organizations in the state. The Associated Press reports that the Ohio Department of Health “notified recipients and contractors Thursday that it will end that funding within a month to comply with the law, unless the court delays the effect of its ruling as Planned Parenthood requested.”

Thank you Republican Congress for passing this and thank you President Trump for signing it.

Christina Hagan, State Representative, Ohio.....

She's a big pro-lifer, I'd urge everyone to give her full support and get on her twitter account. I think she ran for National Representative and came up short. I did some mere thing like comment on one of her tweets and she gave me a like for it which kind of surprised me that she'd have time to do that. I mean it's not a real big thing but you wouldn't expect, say Mark Levin to take the trouble to do that, let alone most of these people have staff. Yes, staff could have done that as well.
