In a major defeat for abortion provider Planned Parenthood, a three judge panel of the Ninth Circuit unanimously agreed the Trump Administration may withhold federal funds to abortion providers.

The Administration was defending Trump’s Protect Life Rule which would gut funds to any organization which engages in murdering the unborn.

According to Life Site:

“…the Rule also ends “referral for abortion as a method of family planning, and eliminates a requirement that Title X providers offer abortion counseling and referral…”

The three judge panel included three Republican (Reagan and Bush 43) appointed judges.

Planned Parenthood called the decision “devastating”.

As a result, Democrats in the House introduced legislation to block the “Protect Life Rule” from taking effect.

Such a measure, even if it passed Democrats’ tenuously controlled House, would be DOA in the Senate.

On a separate note, as I wrote here and here, a quiet conservative takeover of the Ninth Circuit is happening now.

The full 25-page decision is posted here. Read it and smile.
