A federal judge blocked a state law aimed at diverting public money from Planned Parenthood, saying in a Friday ruling that the group stood to suffer "irreparable injury."
The Ohio law targets the more than $1.4 million in funding that Planned Parenthood gets through the state's health department. That money, mostly from the federal government, supports certain education and prevention programs. The law would bar such funds from going to entities that perform or promote abortions.
The restrictions, which had been slated to take effect in May, were signed by Republican Gov. John Kasich during his failed presidential bid.
Just give tax money to ISIS instead, they do less damage.

Doing irreparable injury is the point. PP or any other agenda driven organization should not be funded with taxpayer money.
Right, poor women should not be diagnosed with cervical cancer and should just die. And since STD's are not a public health issue, we should not use any government funding to screen for that either. :roll:
PP is not a government agency. It's a private agency and as such needs to be funded privately.
If the items you mentioned are a public health issue, we have a federal department for that.
The judge disagrees.
:2rofll: :2funny:
Utter nonsense, you may live in a pro-life bubble, the rest of us live in reality and know better.
The judge disagrees.
The judge is an idiot.
Bush appointee. Funny how fast you wingies eat your own.
I'm aware. Doesn't make it right.
In the grand scheme of things, meaning how government grants and funding go for such matters as private support providing services for the good of public health, this was a good decision. Abortion is a constitutional right as decided in Roe v Wade. Banning a group from participating in the government feeding trough of public funding to provide public services for advocating a legal activity is discrimination.
Bush was a neocon. A neocon is like a liberal, but with a weird fetish for war.
Just because it's legal doesn't mean the government has any obligation to financially support organizations that are practicing it.
Funny how that works now. I bet all you all voted for him twice anyway though. Right?
I can't speak towards anyone else, but I didn't.
Nobody said it was.PP is not a government agency.
It is. Why not learn at least some facts before spouting drivel?It's a private agency and as such needs to be funded privately.

You're that young?
You come across as a 60 year old grump. Why is that?
By the numbers they do. :shrug:
:roll: doesn't even come close.
