Axing them what?
Curious how a federal judge can stop this.
Can I ask a stupid question?
How does a federal judge have jurisdiction, over the budget and spending of the state of Ohio? How does the judge have any controlling legal authority, to oversee the spending, based on a law duly passed by the state legislature and signed by their governor???
When it comes to progressives taxing us who are we to think it’s our money; but, when it comes to them giving it to other progressives who are we to think it’s not theirs that they’ve a right to it?
The judiciary now has the power to tax and spend I guess.
Just read a story where an aborted baby started crying and the abortionist didn’t know what to do since they didn’t have anyway to care for it - it blows my mind that some woman would wait that long before deciding to end the pregnancy. In that case I’d call it murder.
This is the kind of doofus that W was appointing?
But when Democrat legislation gets even one Republican vote - it is bipartisan...

U.S. District Court Judge Michael Barrett of Cincinnati barred Ohio Department of Health Director Richard Hodges from enforcing a defunding law approved by Republican lawmakers and signed by GOP Gov. John Kasich that was to have taken effect today.
Ruling that Planned Parenthood has demonstrated a “likelihood of success” in winning its legal action, Barrett granted a temporary restraining order through June 6 and ordered the state to reinstate its terminated contracts with the group.

Funding cut from Planned Parenthood was to be redirected to other health clinics in Ohio. Supporters say it would help provide broader health care coverage across the state, but opponents argued that many of those clinics do not have the services or capacity to do what Planned Parenthood does.

State funds are forbidden from being used toward abortions. Three Planned Parenthood clinics performed about 30 percent (6,237) of the 21,186 abortions performed in Ohio in 2014 — and 36 percent in Franklin County.
How can a federal judge rule that they MUST fund PP?
