Abortionists demanding tax money to kill unborn children suddenly give up!
President Donald Trump and Congress of late have made some common-sense moves regarding abortion and tax money.
They’ve endorsed the idea that abortionists should not be allowed to force American taxpayers to subsidize their industry.
The result was that congressionally approved spending bills cut out funding for those corporations, and those corporate entities responded by wildly claiming, in court, that it was unconstitutional to defund them.
Their argument was that they held a constitutional right to take tax money.
Now in one key fight that argument has collapsed entirely.
The move came when the abortionists gave up on an appeal of a lower court’s ruling that right doesn’t exist.
It’s according to the American Center for Law and Justice that Maine Family Planning has given up its demand that Congress fund abortion providers.
MFP, in fact, stipulated to dismiss its appeal of a negative lower court decision.
“The joint stipulation of dismissal, filed December 18, brings to a close yet another attempt by the abortion industry to demand public funding for the murder of the unborn,” the ACLJ reported.
That legal team had filed a friend-of-the-court brief in the case making constitutional arguments against a right to such funding.
“And the First Circuit Court of Appeals issued a landmark unanimous decision in the Planned Parenthood case, upholding the constitutionality of the very same law Maine Family Planning was challenging,” the report said. “The ACLJ helped secure that decisive victory against Planned Parenthood – vacating lower court injunctions and affirming Congress’ spending authority. Maine Family Planning has now stopped pursuing their appeal of a parallel challenge.”
The report explained, “At the heart of the legal battle we fight is a profound truth: Every human life possesses inherent dignity and worth from the moment of conception. For too long, American taxpayers have been forced to subsidize an industry that destroys hundreds of thousands of innocent lives each year.”
Maine Family Planning lost in district court when Judge Lance Walker denied a demand for a preliminary injunction that would have forced taxpayers to continue funding the abortion business.
Now the dismissal means that scheme is ending.
The negative result for Planned Parenthood and the new dismissal, the ACLJ said, “sends a power message throughout the abortion industry. The era of guaranteed taxpayer subsidies is ending.”
