Moonbat Judge Triples Down On Saving Planned Parenthood’s Taxpayer Funding

The barking moonbat, federal judge Indira Talwani, already put a 14 day temporary order in a week ago, then doubled down thinking it was all about the 1st and 5th Amendments. And thinking the SCOTUS ruling about district judge orders not applying nationwide didn’t apply to her order. And she really thinks she is in charge of the federal power of the purse

Federal judge blocks Trump administration from defunding some Planned Parenthood facilities

A judge on Monday temporarily blocked the Trump administration from stripping some Medicaid funds from Planned Parenthood after Congress and President Donald Trump agreed to partially defund the nonprofit through passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

Judge Indira Talwani of the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts said in her order partially granting a preliminary injunction that the bill unconstitutionally punishes Planned Parenthood member organizations that do not provide abortions.

The injunction will risk “at most minimal harm—financial or otherwise” to the Trump administration while the lawsuit proceeds, Talwani, an Obama appointee, wrote.

The judge’s order appears to apply to some but not all Planned Parenthood facilities. The nonprofit said in a statement that it viewed Talwani’s order as a partial win and remained “hopeful” that the judge would take further judicial action down the line.

“This isn’t over,” the organization said. “While we’re grateful that the court recognized the harm caused by this law, we’re disappointed that not all members were granted the necessary relief today.”

Talwani does realize that this is not the Trump administration doing this, but, the duly elected Legislative Branch which passed a law that no longer allows public funds to be used for abortion providers, right? Or, is she that Trump deranged? Eh, why am I asking, of course she’s that Trump deranged.

Talwani’s order arose from a lawsuit brought by Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider, over the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, a massive budget bill that passed Congress this month with no Democrat support. Trump signed the bill into law on July 4.

A provision in the bill stripped Medicaid funding from Planned Parenthood, which the nonprofit said could force it to close about 200 of its 600 facilities and deprive about half of its customers, more than one million people, of services that do not include abortion.

PP makes about $1.5 billion a year, gross. They’ll be just fine losing the half billion they get yearly. Certainly liberal supporters can pony up the money, right?

The judge noted that her injunction applied to Planned Parenthood entities that do not provide abortion services or receive less than $800,000 in annual Medicaid reimbursements.

She thinks she can create a nationwide injunction. And is in charge of Congressional appropriations. Crazy people.
