I’m expecting the conservative “innocent until proven guilty” crowd will be tripping over themselves in the rush to support Planned Parenthood in this case.

“…states are blocking the funding over criminal activity, which is permitted by the 2011 memo.”
I guess I missed the proceedings where this contention was adjudicated and found true.

Actually, it’s been proven that Planned parenthood has done nothing illegal… But Rethuglicans live in an alternate reality…

Indeed. The MO is judge first and not ask questions later. So much for the rule of law.

Another protracted legal battle. Meanwhile, who or what entity in these states will or will even be able to step into the breach and provide the services to women AND men that PP has been providing forever? Oh, never mind. I forgot. None of these anti-PP yahoos wants those services provided.

I am still trying to figure out why the anti-choice crowd is trying to start this fight in a year when Democrats are going to run a woman.

Yeah they should give that money direct to Christian groups to indoctrinate kids. Sorry, I mean educate them about abstinence. No, I mean, buy trucks and smoke crack and ask for forgiveness. No, I mean, pay them to infiltrate our military and education systems.

This is merely another subset of the larger teabagger organization. The ‘Blockheads’ are sort of like the, Shut Down the Government Goons" or Birthers.
They are all a part of the larger group but have their own individual motivations with the hate/racism and abortion/religious kook motivations being mostly central to the cause.
Planned Parenthood Blockheads, dummies jumping from one cliff edge to the other, balancing on pinheads and fueled by some unknown cause of anger.
These are the same people that think Obama and Eric Holder are criminals.
And women still vote for these neanderthals because .?.?.?
So what exactly is the US government going to do if these states illegally defund Planned Parenthood? No longer send them any Medicaid money?
Meanwhile Planned Parenthood is actually doing these states a favor by preventing pregnancies and having fewer potential people depending on government assistance.
