Unsurprisingly, after the passage of the law here in Indiana defunding Planned Parenthood, actions were taken to stop it in the courts, and unfortunately, the Medicaid funds which were not supposed to go to Planned Parenthood have been restored.
Also unsurprisingly, the federal government played a role in this battle, even threatening to withdraw all Medicaid funds in order to help Planned Parenthood, a barbaric business which performs over half of the abortions in Indiana but only serves 1% of Medicaid patients, something highlighted by the good people at Live Action:
The idea Planned Parenthood offer services not available at close enough locations for Medicaid patients is proven to be a crock, not only in the video, but also by the state of Indiana, which notes the more than 800 Medicaid facilities found throughout the state. Cathie Humbarger of Indiana Right To Life further sets the record straight here.
Legislators here in Indiana did the right thing by passing the legislation, Governor Daniels did the right thing by signing the bill into law, and Indiana did the right thing by fighting to keep it intact in the courts. Pray my state has the backbone to take this fight as far as it can go, and stand with Indiana in this good fight.
