SCOTUS Upholds Ban On Medicare Funds For Planned Butcherhood

[RobDownSouth]

200 clinics huh?

In this state there are just over 70 women's health clinics of which 2, just 2, are Planned Abortionhood. If that ratio holds nationwide they won't be missed.

Musk used the same rationale to close remote VA health centers.

Aging veterans provide even less benefit to American society than women do, right?

Is it a real dog Vetteman, or an imaginary one?

 

[SgtSpiderMan]

I doubt it. However, it might cut back on a lot of promiscuous lifestyles.

Nothing says “small government” like wanting to control how often consenting adults have sex.

Let's just say, he's not a bitch.

They receive about 43% of their revenue from government reimbursements and grants. That money is at risk because they perform literally hundreds of thousands of abortions every year. Over 400,000 in 2022-23.

Out of that number I wonder how many are due to rape, incest and child molestation as compared to excessive drinking, drugs, promiscuous behavior and just plain stupidity.

Probably a much smaller number.

Consenting adults should also consent to taking responsibility for their actions, not taxpayers. Doesn’t take a whole lot of planning or brains to use an ounce of prevention, the shits available everywhere.

It’s available one less place because of this recent court case.
I love that you just totally contradicted yourself.

Absolutely. Any man who fathers a child and then abandons that responsibility forfeits the right to be called a man. The same standard applies to any woman who walks away from her child. The only exception, clearly and rightly, is in cases of rape, where the moral and legal context is entirely different. Responsibility and parenthood are inseparable for anyone who claims to act with integrity.

Your comment was small government controlling consensual adult sex. Stay on topic. If an abortion is necessary then they missed the boat. If planned parenthood got out of the abortion business I’d be OK with Medicare carrying the load for women’s health and reproductive services.

That came from a PP person quoted in an AP story I saw today. Milage and carnage may vary by state.

Ever read any of the gang bang stories written by women on Lit? Lol

I was responding to what YOU wrote. If you want people to have access to planning parenthood you can’t championships defunding Planned Patenthood.

Sometimes abortions are necessary for the health of the mother.

People who frequently insult Democrats as evil and/or stupid might agree that evil and stupid people might not be competent as parents.

The federal government will eventually drop out of healthcare. Medicaid paid abortion is one of those many steps. But finding other solutions could be in our common interest.

Mighty fine wordsmithing there, Holmes.

Gonna say the quiet part out loud? "People who cannot afford healthcare do not deserve healthcare"?

We will eventually find ways to make it affordable and maybe even worth the money. Nobody deserves the sickcare we have now.

Supreme Court upholds ban on Medicaid funds for Planned Parenthood​

Andrew Chapados
June 26, 2025

A proposed federal budget to spell big trouble for the abortion provider if it loses federal funding.​

The Supreme Court upheld South Carolina's decision to bar Planned Parenthood from accessing federal Medicaid funding for non-abortion-related services on Thursday.

The court voted 6-3 with Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson, Elena Kagan, and Sonia Sotomayor dissenting.
The decision allows other states to implement similar policies that would prevent reimbursements for services not related to abortions, such as screenings or acquiring contraceptives.

As NPR reported, federal law has prohibited using federal Medicaid for abortion services for decades, except in the cases of rape, incest, and life-threatening complications.

As reported by Detroit News, South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster (R) had said that no taxpayer money should go to Planned Parenthood, with the new budget bill, coined the "big, beautiful bill" by President Donald Trump, looking to cut federal Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood altogether.

Good Riddance.

Has he mentioned being black yet?

No, and he won't. He believes the fact that he has never explicitly said what race he is means we shouldn't assume he's white. He is utterly oblivious to the countless between-the-lines hints he's inadvertently given out that oh yes, he is white.

Out of that number I wonder how many are due to rape, incest and child molestation as compared to excessive drinking, drugs, promiscuous behavior and just plain stupidity.

If it were your daughter, would you want the government even knowing the answer to that in the first place, never mind making her decisions for her based on their answer (not hers, theirs)?
Also, the answer to your question is probably a lot fewer than you think. Accidents happen. Condoms break. It doesn't mean the people involved were being irresponsible. (And even if it did, it's still not the government's place to saddle them with a baby they don't even want.)

Consenting adults should also consent to taking responsibility for their actions, not taxpayers. Doesn’t take a whole lot of planning or brains to use an ounce of prevention, the shits available everywhere.

It's available everywhere where you live. In some rural areas, especially in red states, it can be a lot harder to find than you think. There have been documented cases of women being unable to get the Pill because the only pharmacist in town is a right-wing pseudo-Christian who refuses to fill the prescription.

But really, that's beside the point. Taxpayers already weren't paying for abortions, because that's been illegal for decades. What has happened here is that the Coathanger Five have given states the right to take away funding that would prevent abortions, by providing preventative solutions to people who are in fact trying to do the responsible thing. Planned Parenthood only spends 3% of its budget on abortion. Do you think they were spending the other 97% on somehow driving up the demand for abortions?

The pathetic thing is, you probably did.

My sister was on birth control and her and her husband wanted to get a couple years of marriage in before having kids. 5 months after the wedding she got pregnant. Shit happens even when you don’t want them too. Great kid though.
