President Trump signed a bill Thursday freeing states to withhold federal family planning grant money from Planned Parenthood, marking the first major pro-life legislation to be signed into law in more than a decade.
The bill unravels an Obama-era regulation that insisted states couldn’t refuse to spend family planning money with Planned Parenthood or any other organization that performs abortions.
“This is a major pro-life victory,” said House Speaker Paul D. Ryan.
More than a dozen states moved to strip Planned Parenthood of government funding in recent years as questions arose about the country’s largest abortion provider. In particular, lawmakers in Republican-led states were reacting to a series of undercover videos that purported to show Planned Parenthood officials negotiating the sale of body parts from aborted fetuses.

Fox News Radio made it a point to explain how this would keep birth control and important medical exams from poor women (insert eye-roll here).

Exactly, so all the whining about Ivanka and Jared were about as idiotic as it gets.

Fox News Radio is worse than ABC radio news.
I sometimes have had to check to make sure I didn’t accidentally switch the channel to NPR or something

Jared and Ivanka will not like this. But I do.I'm lovin' it. The states can use that money for clinics that actually provide health care services, not genoicide of the preborn.
The timing is excellent for raising our hopes. Could it be that President Trump has gotten the message about how fed up so many Deplorables are with the Prince and Princess and their loyalty to the Swampthings?

Gave your post more thought.
No, it’s the poor Trump detractors that can’t find anything to be happy about.
They’ve been tearing it up all over the forum and throwing tempter tantrums for the past few days. Why Trump has betrayed us.
Those folks are borderline mental.

Well put!
And, just a guess, I think Herodes misunderstood your post.
