Alabama To Pay Planned Parenthood’s Legal Fees After Trying To Defund It
In today’s joint motion, Planned Parenthood Southeast says it is a separate corporate entity from Planned Parenthood affiliates outside Alabama that were the subject of Bentley’s concerns.
Some of the organization’s supporters say Friday’s deadly shooting at its clinic in Colorado Springs shows that the vitriolic rhetoric could be inspiring actual violence.
“I don’t think you can ever assume that you’re safe, but you try to be as safe as possible”, Carhart, who has become particularly well known because he provides late-term abortions and works in Nebraska and Maryland, told Reuters. Alabama lawyers said Planned Parenthood had been reinstated as a Medicaid provider.
McCarthy said he personally opposes spending tax dollars on funding for Planned Parenthood, but sidestepped questions about whether there would be a provision to defund the organization in the bill bankrolling the government through next September.
“Whipping people into a frenzy of hate and anger while providing them with easy access to firearms has proven disastrous to our country”, said Reid. But top GOP lawmakers, including House Speaker Paul Ryan (R., Wis.), have repeatedly said the spending bill will need to include conservative policy measures, which could spark last-minute fights with President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats. “I can’t believe that this isn’t contributing to some folks, mentally unwell or not, thinking that it’s OK to – to target Planned Parenthood or to target abortion providers”.
Adding insult to injury, the state of Alabama must pay $51,000 in legal fees after a judge forced the state to fund the Planned Parenthood abortion business. “We’ll see how that plays out”, according to Southern California Public Radio. “We don’t even know the goal – I mean he hasn’t come out to the best of my knowledge with a statement as to why it happened to be at that location”.
Law enforcement sources told ABC News that Dear made rambling comments during the incident, some of which suggested animosity toward the health care provider, but police have not said what they believe the motive was for the attack.
Democrats have said they are participating in that panel to be able to defend Planned Parenthood.
McCarthy also contested remarks by Planned Parenthood defenders that harsh language by the group’s critics helped create a hostile political environment that could encourage people to react violently against the organization.
Planned Parenthood filed suit against the state of Texas this past week over the state’s cutting of Medicaid coverage to the controversial medial facility.
The Tennessee Republican criticized Democrats for connecting Republicans’ efforts to defund and investigate Planned Parenthood to the Colorado shooting.
