Indiana Republican/Teabagger misogyny put on hold
Because Indiana can not withhold federal funds for womens health simply because Indiana Republican/Teabaggers want to impose onerous big government regulations on womens uteruses.
The state of Indiana is not allowed to cut off most of Planned Parenthood's state and federal public funding solely because the organization also provides abortions, a federal judge said Friday in blocking part of the state's tough new abortion law.Despite the budget "crisis" imposed on the state by the governors feckless tax cuts, Indiana will waste further funds on an appeal.
U.S. District Judge Tanya Walton Pratt granted Planned Parenthood of Indiana's request for preliminary injunction on the state's move to defund the organization. Her ruling sides with federal officials who said states cannot disqualify Medicaid providers merely because they also offer abortions or restrict Medicaid recipients' freedom to choose their health care provider.
