TX Still Denying Medicaid Funds to Planned Parenthood.

TX ban on abortion funding reinstated (OneNewsNow.com).

On Monday U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel  ordered  a Texas  to resume paying planned parenthood while the challenge to its law defunding abortion providers is being considered in federal court.   The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals promptly stayed Yeakel’s order, and the policy will resume.  This cuts $17 million in funding to Planned Parenthood, while the  case is being decided.

In Florida, the U.S. District Court Judge, Roger Vinson, struck down Obamacare as unconstitutional.

This ruling is broader than the previous decision (Richmond Virginia Federal District Court)  marking the provision to force citizens to purchase insurance as unconstitutional. Also the list of plaintiffs in this case include about half of the states, so that this decision has more influence.

Judge Vinson did not stay his ruling, so that it has influence even while the inevitable appeals by the Obama administration take place.This  (HOPEFULLY) will cork up the preliminary measures leading up to full implementation of the debacle in 2014.
