  2. Oh boy time for further erosion of America’s civil liberties

  3. More disgusting crap from people who claim to tepresent us, do they have no shame, ill answer that, nope

  5. The right hates the courts until they realize they can say to hell with the will of the voters and go around us with these frivolous hateful lawsuits, i live in ks where we voted over 60% to keep abortion legal and they just keep coming with their b.s., guess we’re just going to have to get physical with these idiots to drive our point home, im ready are u?

  6. Gotta love how a court that is suppose to be non-partisan in their decisions is incredible partisan in their decisions.

  7. Just FYI, we’ll also have a thread go up around noon today for the Senate Democrats’ news conference and Trump’s remarks on the impending new tariffs.

  8. If I had to guess, they’re going to argue partially that Planned Parenthood offers a sliding scale fee therefore doesn’t really need to be a Medicaid provider. In addition, they’ll say “Just go to a regular doctor” for the other services. I don’t know what Medicaid providership looks like in South Carolina, but in my state the amount of providers who take Medicaid for a variety of services is not exactly high and are subjected to high wait times. They won’t go for the full kill yet, they just want to squeeze the necks of state beneficiaries yet again and exert control until there’s no reason for Planned Parenthood to remain open. Texas has to be watching this with anticipation, they’ll be the first one ready to jump if this goes the state’s way.

  9. Maybe President AOC will pull a Doge and make Planned Parenthood run HHS and NIH just to piss the GOP off.

  10. Why are they trying to block funding for something that is working. Planned Parenthood clinics qualify for title X funding, the fungible argument is weak. If they close these clinics how do people get care.

    I see that Trump just froze Title X funding to all PP clinics, injunction to follow.

    Highest unwanted teenage pregnancies in the civilized world and they want to close planning clinics. Around 40% of births are funded by Medicaid but thanks to the Hyde Amendment abortions aren’t funded. Makes absolutely no sense.

  11. I want to throw up every time I have to see rapist kavanaugh’s stupid boofing face
