Judge stalls Texas efforts to defund Planned Parenthood

So the woman shouldn't play at being a whore. We are not speaking of rape. We are speaking of choice, and if anyone chooses to have sex, one should chose to accept the consequences that go along with it and not live like some Canaanite sacrificing the innocent to suit one's appetite for temporal hedonistic pleasures.

"whore"???? So the good Christian thing to do is engage in "slut shaming". So what do you call men who are the "Co-conceives"???

Women aren't morally or legally obligated to proliferate the species.

Having an abortion is dealing with one of the possible "consequences" of having sex.

Got any proof that all women who abort were getting paid for sex?
 
I hang my laundry outside to dry and I turn off lights in rooms no one is in, and I don't smoke. I was taught that such was wasteful and bad 60 years ago. What have you been doing all this time.

I air dry my laundry, too and turn off lights when not in use. I do not smoke. I use cloth bags when shopping. I fully take part in my municipality's recycling system. When I have electronics to throw out that can no longer be used, I take them to a recycling facility. I reuse and repurpose whenever possible. Things I no longer need that are still useful, I give to others or donate to places like Goodwill. I even save egg cartons for a local lady who has laying hens. I use a bagless vacuum. These are a few things off the top of my head.
 
So do Christian organizations without offering abortion at all.

What Christian organizations provide these services

- contraception
- std testing and treatment
- cancer screenings, including breast exams, PAP tests


on as wide a scale as PP?

And...who funds these Christian organizations?
 
Why the motivation from the Democrat Party to fund abortions and ensure that they are available and performed frequently in the United States?
Is it truly to ensure that every woman in the United States has the ability to get the best options for prenatal care, and if need by to have safe abortions to stop the so called hanger fatality?
Or
Could it simply be...
SATAN?
 
Planned Parenthood will remain eligible for Medicaid funds in Texas until a court rules on the merits of the state's case against the organization, a federal judge has determined.

On Tuesday, US District Judge Sam Sparks of Austin granted Planned Parenthood an injunction, temporarily blocking state lawmakers' efforts to terminate around $4 million in Medicaid reimbursements for non-abortion services to the organization. That effort, he wrote, “would deprive Medicaid patients of their statutory right to obtain health care from their chosen qualified provider.” The injunction will protect medical services for these patients until the case goes to trial, he indicated.

Saner minds are prevailing in Texas.

Since when did PP have a constitutionally guaranteed right to public funding? This is a ridiculous decision on the part of the judge. In fact, I was just wondering how it doesn't violate the equal protection clause if there isn't a clinic of equal funding for males and their reproductive and other health issues.

Do you know the difference between Constitutional and Statutory?
 
if anyone chooses to have sex, one should chose to accept the consequences that go along with it
LOGICALLY, if one should choose to drive, one should choose to accept the consequences (auto accidents) that go along with it
LOGICALLY, if one should choose to drink, one should choose to accept the consequences (cirrhosis of the liver) that go along with it
LOGICALLY, if one should choose to eat fatty foods, one should choose to accept the consequences (heart attack, stroke) that go along with it.
LOGICALLY, if one should choose to live in Tornado Alley, one should choose to accept the consequences (house blown apart) that go along with it.

MOST FOLKS REFUSE TO BE THAT LOGICAL, MOSTLY BECAUSE THERE ARE ALMOST ALWAYS MORE THAN ONE POSSIBLE SET OF CONSEQUENCES. Which means you are spouting Pure Idiocy, thinking that pregnancy is a "must accept" consequence of sex. Not Hardly is it any such thing!

NOPE. There is no data indicating any such entity exists. There is lots of data about folks trying to "pass the buck" to avoid accepting responsibility for their actions, by blaming that fictitious entity instead of themselves. When abortion opponents wake up and finally understand the degree to which they are promoting such things as slavery and poverty and crime and genocide, they won't blame themselves --oh no! They'll try to shift the blame elsewhere. Tsk, tsk!

They get paid to have the abortion. Either the guy involved forks it over or a socialist charity dishes out the money. It is still sexual consequences being paid for.

I do the same, though I also use the store's cardboard boxes, like my parents did in the 1950's. However, I will not use a bagless rug vacuum. They are dust traps and have multiple filters that need replacing. The simple paper dirt bag is the most efficient method. The Boy Scouts use to take and recycle the bundled newspapers. The garbage man once picked up the egg shells, coffee grounds, bones, fat, and vegetable waste for the pig farms in Northern NJ. But then a sports stadium was built and now all that goes to the dump -- though I do now have a composter for some things.

Interesting that you think the pregnant woman never has a role in paying for her own abortion. Very telling.

Women on medicaid have the right to use the provider of their choice, so if she chooses PP, the state has to reimburse them. Grants and such, I can understand your point, but not Medicaid.

Women get paid to have an abortion...by a guy or a socialist charity?

I think that medical providers get paid for performing abortions.

So if women pay for an abortion with money earned by their own labor that is.....???

Who has determined that if an unwanted conception occurs that the woman who has conceived is mandated to go through gestation for 9 months, then raise a child to adulthood?

So don't expect me to believe that anything I can do will affect "Global Warming." You have proven nothing --- you merely believe it to be possible. That's YOUR religion.

Don't expect me to believe that the murder of babies will save humanity. You have proven nothing --- you merely believe this is so. That's YOUR religion.
Don't imagine that Planned Parenthood is the best thing women have to protect their freedom. That is YOUR belief and part of YOUR religion. That religion is Hedonism; however, the STATE shouldn't be paying for it.

Oh my God. Do you only know how to argue with strawmans?

Whores get paid to have sex. I asked for proof that the women who abort were getting paid for sex. Your response is a fail.

Composting is great, though you don't even need to have a composter. Just dig the peelings and such into the ground, the worms will take care of it. My town doesn't have municipal composting, but the city near here does. My vacuums filters are washable, so they don't need replacing. I don't have any problems with it. We used to save newspapers for boy scout paper drives, too! That was long before municipal recycling! We did a lot of recycling when I was a child just by reusing, donating etc. I even wore hand me downs from an older cousin and it didn't bother me at all. We couldn't afford to not do stuff like that.
