The Ninth Circuit Court – a court the president has slowly been turning conservative – has upheld the Trump administration’s decision to deny funding for clinics which perform abortions.
Dear Never Trumpers, this is why we voted for and support this president.
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Monday that the Trump administration can continue stripping federal funding from clinics that offer abortions.
The court upheld the Trump administration’s June 2019 declaration that taxpayer-funded clinics must stop referring women for abortions or be stripped of their Title X funding. Judge Sandra Ikuta wrote Monday’s majority opinion, stating that “there is no ‘gag’ on [nondirective] abortion counseling.”
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) followed the decision in June by alerting clinics that it would enforce the administration’s ban. Planned Parenthood withdrew from the Title X federal family planning program, thereby forgoing about $60 million a year rather than comply with this decision.
The despicable murderers at Planned Parenthood will still kill babies at an alarming rate, but their actions will no longer be funded by the American taxpayers.
