Fifth Circuit Sides with Texas Governor and AG in Lawsuit from Planned Parenthood....

[MMC]

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R-TX) and Attorney General Ken Paxton (R-TX) on Tuesday afternoon, giving Texas the green light to enforce a statewide ban on performing abortions during COVID-19. The ruling from the Fifth Circuit is in response to a lawsuit from Planned Parenthood and the Center for Reproductive Rights, both of whom sued the state of Texas for the governor's order. The order followed suit of the state of Ohio, on account of abortions being “non-essential,” “non-emergent” surgeries. It was designed not to prohibit abortions, but to prioritize real medical needs; abortions necessary to save the life of the mother received an exemption under Gov. Abbott’s order:


A lower court judge gave Planned Parenthood a temporary win on Monday night, ruling that the "non-essential" surgery order violated Roe v. Wade. AG Paxton appealed the decision in the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals:


Planned Parenthood and other abortion interest groups will undoubtedly continue to push for an overturn of orders banning "non-essential" surgeries nationwide......snip~

Another defeat for the Left and Planned Parenthood. Of course they will appeal.

For the first time in many decades liberals are losing in court...they got used to winning, especially the ACLU

What was that in all those other threads about "liberals using the Corona pandemic to further their agendas"?

Ask Planned Parenthood who decided to use the Wuhu. Then the ACLU who tried to play off it.

What?

What?

Why was Planned Parenthood attempting to conduct abortions in Clinics that get federal funding due to the WUHU?

Moreover why did Pelosi try to make funding mandatory due to the WUHU for Clinics that conduct abortions during the WUHU. Despite the Hyde Amendment.

The executive order targeted a single type of "non-essential surgery". As such, it was a blatant attempt to curry favor with the anti-choice people, exactly as similar orders that attempted to stop firearms and ammunition sales in some places was a case of politicians throwing a bone to the anti-gun contingent.

Of course the rational behind the Baby killers agenda was continued funding for taxpayer funded abortions. Mommy gets pregnant, doesn't work in the best of times, and has zero insurance so the fem fatale groups step in and want to use our tax money to still suck the babies out thru a vacuum cleaner. Now if taxpayer funded abortions are protected then all baby killing is, even late term ones.
I personally dont give a damn if they want to murder their own babies. I figure thats one less Democrat vote in the future and its their Karma thats going to come back at them, but I do draw the line over using tax money to do it. The Libs like to badmouth guys like me who hunt for meat yet they have no problem turning little helpless fetus's into stroganoff. Oh the times we live in, have there ever been more wretched creatures walking among us?

An anti-hunting vegan who is pro-abortion? Are they sure these people are the same species as the rest of us?

Yes and that single type of non essential surgery takes place where again?

The provider groups also noted that most abortion care is not delivered in hospital settings.


A statement from Mr Paxton's office said "no one is exempt from the governor's executive order on medically unnecessary surgeries and procedures, including abortion providers", according to the Texas Tribune.....snip~

So these hospitals that for the most part do not offer abortion services are somehow nevertheless affected by the targeted ban on abortions - so that means that PPH and the services that they provide are not being targeted?

You're grasping at straws here, M. You're trying to justify the same abhorrent, opportunistic political pandering you claim to dislike when others do it.
