“Planned Parenthood sues over Kan. blocking funds

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP)—Planned Parenthood filed a federal lawsuit Monday over a provision in Kansas’ next state budget that prevents the organization from receiving federal funding for family planning services, marking the first of what could be several legal challenges to policies successfully pushed by abortion opponents.
The lawsuit comes as Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri awaits word from the state about whether it will receive a license to continue performing abortions in Kansas after Friday. Its clinic was inspected last week under a separate state law that recently set up a special licensing process for abortion providers, and one of Kansas’ three providers has already been denied a license.
Abortion rights advocates fear that none of the three will get a license, making Kansas the first state in the nation without an abortion provider.
Other new Kansas laws taking effect Friday restrict private health insurance coverage for most abortions, require doctors to obtain written consent from parents before terminating minors’ pregnancies and tighten restrictions on abortions after the 21st week of pregnancy, based on the disputed claim that a fetus can feel pain. (Planned MURDERHOOD disputes everything connected with the MURDERING of the unborn!!!—my addition)
The Planned Parenthood chapter’s lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Kansas City, Kan., challenges a budget provision that requires the state’s portion of federal family planning dollars go first to public health departments and hospitals, which leaves no money for Planned Parenthood and similar groups. Planned Parenthood expects the provision to cost it about $331,000.
The lawsuit alleges the provision violates the organization’s rights to free speech (Committing MURDER is now free speech!!!—my addition) and legal due process (They HAD due process!!! It happened when the law was passed by a duly elected legislative body and approved by the Governor!!!—my addition). It was filed against Gov. Sam Brownback, an anti-abortion Republican who took office in January, and Robert Moser, his secretary of health and environment.
‘Unfortunately, Governor Brownback and his allies in the Legislature put the health of thousands of their constituents at risk by eliminating funding for a trusted community health care provider,’ ( LIARS!!! MURDERING unborn babies IS NOT health care!!! It is MURDER!!!—my addition) said Peter Brownlie, the Planned Parenthood chapter’s president and chief executive officer. "Women in Kansas need better access to affordable, high quality health care, not politically-motivated barriers.’ (If it is affordable, why does Planned MURDERHOOD need State money? Why should the people who recognize what Planned MURDERHOOD is be forced by law to support the MURDER of unborn babies? It is Planned MURDERHOOD who wants to deny due process to the majority of the people of Kansas!!!—my addition)
The measure is less far-reaching than a plan enacted in Indiana that cuts off Medicaid funds for Planned Parenthood. A federal judge has blocked that law, saying Indiana can’t deny funds for general health services such as breast exams and Pap tests just because Planned Parenthood also performs abortions. (I don’t know why not!!!—my addition)
Still, Planned Parenthood contends that Kansas’ budget provision will do ‘significant and irreparable harm’ to men and women seeking family planning services. (Then shouldn’t those who are allegedly being harmed be the ones suing. And, most importantly, shouldn’t they be suing at the U.S. Supreme Court since it is the U.S. Supreme Court which has original jurisdiction when a State is a party in a federal law suit?—my addition) Planned Parenthood offers abortion services in Kansas only at its clinic in Overland Park, a Kansas City suburb, but also has clinics in Wichita and Hays that serve about 5,700 patients.
Its lawsuit argues that the budget provision represents a punishment for publicly advocating abortion rights. But backers of the budget provision argue that Kansas residents who oppose abortion shouldn’t be forced to have their tax dollars subsidize abortions. (DUH!!!—my addition)
‘Kansas taxpayers have made it clear they do not wish to underwrite organizations that perform abortions. We will uphold the law,’ the governor said in written statement Monday. (I pray they do and I pray they DEMAND that the case goes directly to the U.S. Supreme Court as required by the Constitution of the United States!—my addition)
Planned Parenthood maintains that it keeps abortion services separate from other services (That’s like saying, “I keep my criminal activities separate from my other business activities.” So what!!! Planned MURDERHOOD is still MURDERING unborn babies and they are directly or indirectly doing so with other people’s money. People who do NOT want to fund the MURDER of innocent unborn babies!!! Where is their due process?—my addition), such as family planning, though abortion opponents contend any state funds ultimately help support the chapter’s clinic in Overland Park.
“The state’s other two abortion providers, which also are in the Kansas City area, also have been considering legal challenges to the budget provision as they try to prepare for the new licensing regulations. Among other things, those regulations list drugs and equipment they must have on hand, set allowable temperatures in procedure and recovery rooms, and establish the minimum size for procedure rooms. The licensing law mandates annual state inspections, including at least one unannounced visit.”
“The lawsuit is Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri v. Sam Brownback and Robert Moser, No. 11-cv-2357 JTM/DJW.”
According to http://www.lifenews.com/ Kansas is not the only State that has recently passed laws to cut off, at least, some funding for Planned MURDERHOOD at the State level.
“Wisconsin Becomes Fourth to Cut Planned Parenthood Funding
With pro-life Gov. Scott Walker signing the state budget into law in Wisconsin, the Badger State becomes the fourth to cut funding for the Planned Parenthood abortion business—following decisions by Indiana, North Carolina and Kansas to revoke funding entirely.
The legislation redirects $1 million in state and federal family planning funds away from Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin. In 2010 Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin received more than $18 million in federal and state family planning funds that it claims has reduced abortions. However, the abortion business did 5,439 abortions in 2009, a 56% increase from 2008.
Wisconsin Right to Life praised Walker, with legislative director Susan Armacost saying, ‘Governor Walker and the state legislature acted courageously to protect Wisconsin taxpayers from having their tax dollars used to destroy human life. While there is more work to be done to protect taxpayers from paying for abortions, this state budget has greatly improved the situation. On behalf of Wisconsin Right to Life members and supporters throughout the state, we extend our heartfelt thanks to Governor Walker and the legislature.’
Senator Glenn Grothman, a Republican, said he is glad Planned Parenthood is losing some of its taxpayer funding in Wisconsin, but he wants to see the de-funding effort move forward with eliminating all or most of the remaining $18 million Planned Parenthood receives annually.
‘There’s a very ugly side to this organization, and I regret that they’re going to take such a tiny cut in this budget,’ Grothman said.

According to this article of June 27, 20011, The States of Kansas, Indiana, which I have previously discussed, North Carolina, and now Wisconsin have all legally and Constitutionally passed laws to cut off, at least, some funding for Planned MURDERHOOD at the State level.
But wait. That’s not all. Again from http://www.lifenews.com/
“Texas Legislators Cut Planned Parenthood Abortion Biz Funding
The Texas state legislature has approved the Senate Bill 7 Conference Committee Report that would revoke the taxpayer funding for the Planned Parenthood abortion business.
With the actions by the state House and Senate, the measure now heads to pro-life Governor Rick Perry for his signature.
‘This will defund Planned Parenthood, stop taxpayer funding of elective abortions, and regulate adult stem cell research in Texas,’ says Texas Alliance for Life. ‘The final step is for pro-life Gov. Rick Perry to sign this bill into law, which will defund Planned Parenthood $34 million or more over the biennium.’”
“Senate Bill 7, authored by Senator Jane Nelson (R-Flower Mound) and Representative John Zerwas (R-Simonton), has three significant pro-life provisions strongly supported by Texas Alliance for Life and leading pro-life organizations and individuals.”

Do you expect North Carolina, Wisconsin, and Texas to be hit with lawsuits at the inferior federal court level as has already occurred in Indiana and now Kansas? Why are inferior federal court judges violating the Constitution of the United States? Haven’t they taken an oath of office to uphold the Constitution of the United States? Why isn’t the House of Representatives impeaching these inferior federal court judges for violating their oath of office?
For as I’ve said repeatedly, NO inferior federal court judge has jurisdiction over a State. NONE! The Constitution of the United States of America clearly states in Article III, Section 2, ¶ 2: “In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction.” Who has jurisdiction when a State is a party to the case? The United States Supreme Court!!! And only the United States Supreme Court until and unless the Constitution is amended!!! An inferior federal court has no such jurisdiction! The inferior federal courts in the United States have NO jurisdiction over States! NONE!!!
Just as Christians restore the church by returning to the Bible and being obedient to the will of GOD as given in the Bible, so will we the people restore the nation by returning to the Constitution as written by the founding fathers and as Amended by we the people through our representatives. However, don’t be deceived. To save the moral decay of this nation both MUST occur.
It’s time, it is past time to TAKE BACK THE NATION!!!
It’s time, it is past time to TAKE BACK THE NATION!!!
