Clearly, at least in my view, States have the right to budget their dollars in whatever way they choose, so why bother with these laws when you control the State House and the Governor's Mansion? Why not just zero line the funding of PP as part of the budget process and claim it's an austerity measure, nothing more? Surely the federal courts can't micromanage a State's budget and force the funding of a line item.
Seems to me, the only purpose of the legislation is political, not operational.
In the name of "social justice" anything is justified. It shouldn't even require legislative action for a state to choose its vendors/providers of state funded services. If the requirement is for competitive bidding, that's another matter.
