Excerpted from Peter Sullivan\’s article at thehill.com:
The Obama administration has warned Louisiana and Alabama that they could be violating federal law by cutting off Planned Parenthood from their states\’ Medicaid programs.
The Republican governors in both states this month terminated their state Medicaid contracts with the organization in the wake of controversial undercover videos showing Planned Parenthood officials discussing the price of fetal tissue for medical research.
But the White House points out that federal law says Medicaid beneficiaries may obtain services from any qualified provider and that cutting Planned Parenthood out of the program restricts that choice.
Is this the same Barack Obama who does not have a single word to say about “sanctuary cities”, which operate in 100% disregard for/compliance with federal law,s and allow illegal aliens to roam free? We\’re not talking about “could be violating federal law” here, we\’re talking about ARE violating federal law.
The hypocrisy is breathtaking.
If I were Governor Jindal of Louisiana or Governor Bentley of Alabama, my answer to Mr. Obama would be “show me that you have defunded the so-called “sanctuary cities” until they are in compliance with federal law. Then come and talk to me about Planned Parenthood.”
Who knows? Maybe then our media might even report about it.
