Now, we are getting somewhere.

Yesterday, the 6th Circuit upheld the effort to wtihhold funds from Planned Parenthood.  It was a full court vote,  11 to 6.   Four of the mojority were/are President Trump appointees.   

In an 11-6 ruling, the full 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a ruling from the lower court and ruled against two Planned Parenthood affiliates that challenged the law. The Cincinnati-based court found the measure does not violate the Constitution and ruled the affiliates “do not have a due process right to perform abortions.”

“The Ohio law does not violate a woman’s right to obtain an abortion,” Judge Jeffrey Sutton, appointed by former President George W. Bush, wrote for the majority. “It does not condition a woman’s access to any of these public health programs on refusing to obtain an abortion. It makes these programs available to every woman, whether she seeks an abortion or not.”
