‘Twisted’: Judge effectively grants abortion giant constitutional right to have tax money

A federal judge has concluded, apparently, that abortion industry giant Planned Parenthood has a constitutional right to have tax money.

A report at Fox News reveals a leftist judge chosen for her lifetime appointment by abortion-promoting Barack Obama has temporarily blocked the administration of President Donald Trump from stopping the flow of tax money, through Medicaid, to the abortionists.

Congress called for those funds to be stripped from Planned Parenthood’s corporate coffers, and Trump signed the bill, making it the law of the land.

Judge Indira Talwani, whose leftist activism runs deep, has given the abortion industry a preliminary injunction claiming the bill “unconstitutionally” punishes Planned Parenthood groups that do not abort unborn children.

Talwani’s order came in a lawsuit brought by Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion business.

A commentary by Olivia Summers, senior litigation counsel with the American Center for Law and Justice, explained the partial injunction “twisted the First Amendment into a shield for abortion providers—protecting not just their speech, but their funding. Congress has every right to decide that taxpayer dollars should not flow to abortion providers or their affiliates.”

Her warning was that, “This ruling effectively grants Planned Parenthood a constitutional entitlement to federal funds.”

She continued, “This decision carves out a dangerous privilege—one that elevates abortion providers above every other grantee, creating a special class of government-sponsored speakers. It lays the groundwork for permanent entrenchment of abortion groups within the federal funding landscape, shielding them from the political accountability that applies to everyone else.

“Once again, the abortion distortion is at work—where normal rules of law are suspended simply because abortion is involved. A routine federal funding decision becomes a First Amendment violation. A restriction on one of the most powerful and politically connected lobbying networks in America somehow becomes an equal protection problem. The court treats Planned Parenthood not as the pro-abortion advocacy juggernaut that it is, but as a fragile association of speakers whose funding must be constitutionally guaranteed.”

WND previously reported about the judge, who was determined by commentator Nathan Stone at the Federalist to be delivering “judicial terrorism.”

“Indira Talwani, an Obama-appointed judge of the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, ushered in the next chapter of judicial supremacy when she blocked the provisions of the ‘big beautiful bill’ which deprived Planned Parenthood and its affiliate organizations of Medicaid funds,” Stone explained. “If Judge Talwani had ‘found’ those provisions ‘unconstitutional,’ or if she had found the whole reconciliation package ‘illegal’” it would be another example of judicial usurpation. Business as usual. But she didn’t do either. Talwani’s temporary restraining order commands that the executive ignore the law and keep shoveling the Benjamins to feed abortions. As Dan McLaughlin said on X, ‘You can’t argue with the judge’s reasoning because there isn’t any.’”

The order from Talwani is just part of a campaign on the part of judges at the entry level courts to the federal judiciary of opposing President Donald Trump’s plans and agendas, even if delivered through ordinary and accepted channels like a congressional bill and a signature by a president.

The agenda already has prompted the Supreme Court to say those judges are exercising powers they don’t have by repeatedly demanding they have their way on policies and practices of the executive branch, instead of letting the president run that branch, as the Constitution provides.

“The surface irony of this would be comedy gold in a movie. For the last 10 years, the left’s bread and butter has been to paint Trump, his allies, his voters, and the Republican Party as fascists intent on destroying ‘our democracy.’ But, when the sacrament of abortion is in jeopardy, it does a 180 and orders the president to completely ignore a law that was duly passed and signed — textbook fascist behavior,” the commentary said.

Further, it said, Talwani’s writing “does not even try to pretend to be anything other than naked power that commands lawlessness for the sake of killing babies. Separation of powers, the rule of law, the legislative power, and the very ability of the American people to enact change through their duly elected representatives — one of the fundamental markers of self-governance — are all done away with a flick of Talwani’s pen.”

“Make no mistake: Judge Talwani is a legal terrorist. Her TRO is the judicial equivalent of an IED, which was supposed to destroy the administration by either disobeying the law or disobeying the judiciary. It’s not about the country or an alternate vision. Now, it is only about destruction — pure and sweet.”

Yesterday, another rogue judge tried to undermine the will of the people.

Judge Indira Talwani issued a TRO enjoining portions of the OBBB that defund Planned Parenthood.

Judge Indira Talwani’s Unhinged Planned Parenthood Order Amounts To Judicial Terrorism https://t.co/9oU2W1XTvV

The Supreme Court ruled that district court judges cannot veto the President.

But Obama Judge Indira Talwani claimed that the One Big Beautiful Bill is unconstitutional because it cuts spending for Planned Parenthood.

This is ridiculous.
