The Supreme Court in December declined to review a case brought by other Republican-led states seeking to cut off Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood and other reproductive health organizations that offer abortions.
For several years, Planned Parenthood clinics received public funding to participate in Ohio initiatives targeting sexually transmitted diseases, breast cancer and cervical cancer, teen pregnancy, infant mortality and sexual violence. None of that money was used to fund the organization’s abortion providers. Still, because the state’s Republican leaders were opposed to “using abortion providers as the face of state healthcare programs," former Gov.
In her dissent, Judge Helen White and five of her colleagues argued that the state’s law “would result in an undue burden on a woman’s right to obtain non-therapeutic abortions if imposed directly.”

Good for them.
MY tax money won't have to pay for murdering kids anymore. You can't force me to aid & abet baby slaughter any more! Democracy works sometimes KurtSchlichter ChrisRBarron Brash_1 Oil_Guns_Merica OzarkMonkeyRat LinklerMatt
Amazing! Let's keep babies alive!
This will only harm women and their families.
Abortions are murder
Gee! And I wonder how many abortions Donald Trump the Pig has been responsible for in his miserable lifetime?
Religious fools.
The unborn ARE NOT Babies....they have no Soul ! Doesnt anyone read anymore?
Thank you realDonaldTrump Greatest president ever
🎉🎉🎉
In other news, the 6th Circuit of Appeals has no idea the scope nor impact on overall women's health.
discriminatory..and hurts the women of Ohio.
Maybe the baby killing is coming to an end
.SenatorCollins showed how prochoice she really is by voting for 9 of the judges on this cirscuit. She’s wolf in sheep’s clothing for women’s rights. She is shameful selloutsusan shameonsusancollins mepolitics
Commentators below won’t be cheering when they are paying out of their pocket more for social programs like welfare, food stamps and other inflated costs. WomensRights
Fantastic....now state won’t have to pay for women too stupid or lazy to use contraception from killing off their kid for convenience!
Time to abort the Russian agent out of the Whitehouse.
*Judicial Reform* will be Donald J. Trump's legacy. Allowing our court system to be overrun by activist judges will be remembered as one of the most shameful chapters in our history.
MarcVegan
You're right Ed. And this reasoning is easily justifiable. We're talking about the lives of children!
Here’s why giving up fighting all those judges appointees matter, dems!!!
Winning
djt...WHO HAS PAID FOR MANY ABORTIONS DURING HIS SELF IMPOSED VIETNAM NAM IN NYC DISCOS . HYPOCRITE
For me this is the key problem with this ruling , and my argument for those delighted with the outcome. It ignores all of the major good Planned Parenthood does and strips funding bc of 1 thing that they disagree with.
glangendorf01 Pretty far reach even for Politico. If people like her message and they contribute legally what's the problem? I can work for a big corp and still support her message that we have to take corps down a peg. Is she taking money from foreign co to impact o say American elections?
So? You are just pissed we are getting some jurists that actually understands the Constitution as written. They don’t try to make law, they follow the law!
A la carte taxpaying. All I need to do is say 'My religion is against _____' and suddenly I am exempt from paying taxes that support it. 'I have no kids and I WILL NOT pay to support schools.' This is where McConnell's 'brain trust' of judicial appointees is headed.
Great news!!
WithoutaTRACE NeverHillary voters should be celebrating their ignorance & stupidity. No?
'I regret my abortion' these signs say. THEN DONT FUCKING HAVE ONE. ITS A CHOICE. STOP TAKING IT AWAY FROM PEOPLE WHO DONT REGRET IT.

Thank God. Killing Babies is a religion to the left.
Elections have consequences.
Hallelujah!

LisaMaatz More from the Forest Gump line of reasoning: Stupid is as stupid does.
This makes me sick. By doing this, they are preventing women from getting cancer screenings, birth control (to prevent further abortions), well-woman checkups, etc. They are doing more harm than good. Somehow I bet all of the judges were men, too 🙄. Mfs.
The Republican war on women continues.
BrianPaulStuart 😳
And those judges will be there for a long time WINNING!!!
So what you're saying is the majority who voted with Ohio weren't appointed by POTUS
Elections matter ... this is what happens when 40% of eligible voters don’t fkn vote .
PP doesn't deserve that funding anyway. PlannedParenthood DefundPP Prolife Abortion DefundPlannedParenthood
No public funds for abortion. Sounds ok to me.
But they can give millions of our tax dollars to pro-abortion, universal health care Israel...
Look up Hyde Amendment and tweet to others.
Awesome
They are stacking the courts
And the other 7 judges who sided with the state were appointed by?
Excellent news 🎉
lisaiceland Rush Limbaugh’s use of “back to Ohio” as theme music and Ohio going backwards in a big rush is some twisted form of ironic poetic justice I would personally prefer to only view this in a new season of Handmaid’s Tale than on the news about the actual state of Ohio in the present
Weird how that is happening. Good thing they’re only lifetime appointments.
So 7 of 11 (64%) weren’t appointed by Trump?
Vuduchick So many women will die from this heartless act. I remember when it was illegal. Rich women still had their 'D&C's' while all others had zero options.
I look forward to California's idea that no one has a right to sell guns.
It would be so much easier if women didnt exist says old white Conservative men.
Next stop, Gilead!
And that is what all the evangelicals and GOP sold their souls to the devil for. They exchanged integrity, kindness, democracy, love for humanity, all to stop legal abortions. impeachtheMF PlannedParenthood
Great news. Your body? Your own money to kill that baby inside.
How is Planned Parenthood entitled to taxpayer money?
Thank God
This is fantastic news!
😡
MAGA Thank you GEOTUS
Praise the Lord!
Wonderful news!!!!!
So 7 of them weren't
And the angels sing.
When did abortion become illegal? I’m confused. What happened to the only wall the Constitution specifically provides for— between church and state— since the ONLY objection to a legal procedure like abortion comes from religion. Reconstructing that wall IS a national emergency.
Good, planned parenthood is just a dem organization taking tax payer money to fund dem elections and propaganda.
They don't get much from the state and it's only for the o ea that do abortion
How many judges were women
Good 👉🏼less Murders of a Beating Heart
😰
It’s sad to be a woman in this country to have limited rights def. yo their own bodies.
Your vote really does matter
How can this decision be correct when abortions are legal
👏👏👏
Yeah, don’t you just hate the rule of law when the actual LAW is enforced? That must suck for all the leftist SJWs out there. Do your abortions per Roe v Wade but I don’t want to have to pay for it with my dang taxes. WinningWithLaw
Winning!
I will support tax payer funding if planned parenthood if they officially change the name of the organization to Deletus your fetus
That still leaves 7 that weren’t appointed by President Trump so how are you gonna make it Trump’s fault?
How about they can cut funds because no law states taxpayers must fund nonprofits. Our money, not the liberal courts!
Elections matter but let’s go through the same “both parties are identical” and stay home in 2020 because the Democrat isn’t a vegan who plays tennis with Susan Sarandon. Trump will win re-election in 2020. I am sure of that.
Thank you, realDonaldTrump! That's all you got, ? biasnews

A fast track to the deaths of thousands of women in back alleys. Once again, conservaderps being the party of control, death, and destruction. We're gonna have to have armed health centers soon, to defend the women seeking healthcare from government thugs.
Why the need to mention Trump judges? How many of the people dissenting were appointed by Obama?
Should have picked a better opponent for Trump. Don’t worry, these judges will only be in office for......oh wait.....😂😂😂🇺🇸

This is wrong on so many levels. Abortion is legal in this country.
Once again, men interfering with a women’s choice. Another form of brutality.
😡
The war on low-income individuals continues.
It is way past time. All funds to this abominable chop shop should cease.
💥
So, even without mean ole Trump's judges, the outcome would have been the same. Nice. 👏👏👏
The court says that restricting a woman's access to a legal medical procedure *is not* placing an undue burden on the woman to access that medical procedure. Fucking really? Really? That's the best & brightest legal minds at work?
Great News
When we take this back I want DRIVE THRU PLANNED PARENTHOOD ON EVERY CORNER. I’m not doing this moderate “don’t hurt the Nazis feelings” anymore. I WANT RED MEAT THROWN AT US WHEN WE PULL THIS BACK LIKE THEY DO EVERY DAY. “Oh they’re throwing red meat to their base...”I WANT THAT
Outstanding.
So women have a Constitutional right to have an abortion, but nobody has a Constitutional right to perform one. How, precisely, are people to have a safe abortion if safe facilities for having one can be banned from operating in the first place? Coat hangers again? Brilliant.
For anyone reading this who may feel desperate...There are facilities beyond planned parenthood and the people are so kind hearted.
Ohio We Need Planned Parenthood!
I hate Donald and any judge he appoints or has appointed.
Which means the vote would still have passed, right? Fascinating.
Backwater state.
Amen! No taxpayer funds should support the baby murder lobby.
SelfImposedXile Kasich sucks.
This is devastating.
Politico thinks their readers are imbeciles. Math much?
Thank you President Trump!
But its okay to marry 12 yr old girls in Ohio. 👍🏽

A small albeit significant win for the good guys.

This week is turning out to be quite fun, and it’s only Tuesday.
Are those four judges young and healthy? I do hope so.
!!! keep fighting for babies, we cannot do anything better as a human being.
What is a “therapeutic” abortion? Who gets to decide that? Who gets to decide who gets one and who doesn’t? Scary.
Votes have consequences. Ohio is about to watch their teen pregnancy and welfare numbers skyrocket. Congratulations, GOP! You created more poor people! Amazing job!
A little win but we will take it.... for all the ladies who choose life thank you.
Planned Parenthood provides birth control, cervical cancer and breast cancer screening, and treatments for infertility to women who have no other sources of healthcare. Shame on the Ohio Court of Appeals & on anti-choice politicians!
Therefore cutting access to cancer screenings, contraceptives, and planned parent care! I am a product of PlannedParenthood! They helped my mom with the care she needed in order to give birth to healthy baby girl, me! Let’s make legislation about condoms or Vasectomies! No?hmm
I just don't think it's right to provide tax payer money for something, that at the end of the day, is an elective procedure
This sign could just as easily say, “chemotherapy,” “orphan my children,” “to worry about my husband dying of testicular cancer.” (Did you know PP has services to HELP people have babies?)
This made my day and let’s stop calling the slaughter of children reproductive health. Americans can find a better way to educate our sons and daughters.
THIS is why it’s so important to VOTE! The longer Trump stays in office, the more ultra-conservative judges he’ll appoint to federal courts (SCOTUS, if he gets the chance)! A one-time vote can have LONG-LASTING repercussions! PlannedParenthood .PPFA .PPact .PPAOhio
Only 3% of what PlannedParenthood does is related to abortions. This, in effect, denies women basic healthcare. shameonthem
If those people holding the signs regretted their abortion, that's their problem, not the problem of other women who want abortions.
winning
I guess that means previously it was Obama's judges that allowed it 🤔 That's why Trump won!
And here we go disgusting
So it would've been 7-6 for the state and still a win? Fascinating analysis
Time to talk with indivisible about a work around!
mollyday15 Awesome
So you’re saying Donald Trump is a winner
joegooding This is great news! Our tax dollars should NOT support a barbaric group that murders unborn babies. MAGA
Hear Hear! ✝️🇺🇸
joegooding 🙄 And all the liberal judges shutting down needed security actions for our safety but allows anyone one in un vetted into our Country was appointed by Obama. Grow up Politico!!
Good. Now can we just stop funding all the other stupid ass shit that’s a waste of my money, stop taking all our fucking cash, and let people donate money to causes that they support instead of having bitch ass government do it for the lazy fuckers.
Excellent.
Of course Ohio can control state money.
Trump saving infants with one hand and boosting job reports with the other.
Does it matter at all that women are human beings, citizens, and have the right to abortion?
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

The Judges are everything and Donny snd Mitchie destroyers of Liberty are appointing like crazy.
XueLinnea Thank you God 🙏 This is what matters! Save those babies! I truly feel a lot of these moms wouldn’t do if evil didn’t push the option at most vonrable times! I was part of the team that tried to convince me to end my late pregnancy to save my life. I refused! Save Baby first!
All of Trump’s judicial appointments are as illegitimate as he is.
Womp womp
Proof how SERIOUS the consequences of elections are.
A trumpkin judge...
Big win for babies.
Will someone please tell the pseudo-journalists at Politico that of 16 judges, 11 - 4 = 7 and that 7 is greater than the 5 who sided with PP, which means that a majority of those 11 judges sided with the state even WITHOUT those 4 Trump nominees? Thanks!
So is this why they blocked president Obama getting things through the RNC Congress.
Supreme court time....
Good!
Long over due and hopefully other states follow suit. If you’re concerned about women’s health (and it’s not just a euphemism for abortion) find a way to give your time and resources to a local clinic.
It’s about time!
'Four of the 11 judges who sided with the state in the decision were appointed by Donald Trump'....aaand? If this is so important, shouldn't you tell us who appointed the other SEVEN?
When will politicians bring more 21st century solutions like the NEW GREEN DEAL...abortion budgets poverty taxes war are so stale....let's add these to AOC's garbage bin and start a 21st CENTURY AGENDA.
Perfect example of MAGA ! Long way to go , but progress is being made .
This IS news

Pelosi supports this decision.
Well. On the bright side, they are Trump appointees so chances are they’re corrupt af and will end up ousted.

We are fucked people. Welcome to living in a middle eastern country. Next they’ll be forcing religion in schools. I don’t know why America is so set on moving back into the dark ages.
Sick they’re all sick
Where will this end?
Sure glad our judiciary is non partisan.
The Purity of 2016 will continue to have consequences through the middle of this century.
The sad part is that this right wing makeover of the courts will impact the country long after Trump is gone. This had been the republican goal for decades, and they found their point-man in McConnell to get it done.

Men controlling women is all it's about for men.

God forgives us all,in the Mighty Name Of Jesus. Many women are so distraught at the prospect of being responsible for another Human Being that dicisions are made abruptly with little truth&even less knowledge of what they are doing*I'm not Judgeing anyone,we've all SINNED~IJN
Ohio can cut funding to Planned Parenthood for any reason they choose. They aren't constitutionally required to support Planned Parenthood at all.
Is Ohio required to fund organizations as a function of government?
Great job realDonaldTrump! Winning!
Keep those judges coming, POTUS
This is terrible news. Al Dems must vote in 2020, please.
What about the other 7 judges though.
That's outright discriminatory...it's a legal procedure.
Partisanship exists in our court system and that is sad. Interpret the law and keep your opinions to yourself....That is the job.
Big win for defenseless life
