Planned Parenthood sues Ariz. over funding law
CBS/AP
(AP) PHOENIX - Planned Parenthood Arizona is suing to try to block enforcement of a new Arizona law that would bar abortion providers from receiving public funding for health services other than abortion.
The abortion provider sued state officials Monday in federal court in Phoenix.
The suit contends the new law taking effect Aug. 2 violates federal law on Medicaid patients' rights and also several constitutional rights.
A spokeswoman for Arizona's Medicaid program says officials haven't yet seen the suit and cannot immediately comment.
Arizona already bars using public money for abortion, but supporters of the new law have said they wanted to make sure the state provides no indirect support for abortion.
Planned Parenthood says the real impact would be to disrupt care for people needing its other services.

the issue is the catholic church hierarchy and its rpeub pals are trying to end ALL forms of birth control
their idea of religious freedom is to impose their ridiculous beliefs on others.
Although really want they want is to have more minds to control and corrupt
And to keep the conversation off of the endless hidden molestation of children by their sex starved priests, even forbidden to masturbate
BTW the hidding of these vile crimes comes from the top down.

Women DO NOT have the right to play GOD.
------
Why would they WANT to play a fictitious character?
How sad that slow thinks this way....... Per CBS rules and regulations I will not debate what you call fictitious and what is known as the truth.
To you I say...Good day!

Sad that I don't believe in sky fairies? Not my concern.
Deal with it. And read the freakin' Hyde Amendment - if you dare.
At one time the supreme court said it was OK to own other people and the majority of Americans at the time agreed. Times change and the barbaric act of Abortions has out lived it's self.
Oh and 99% of them are not for medical reasons, nor rape or incest....

Nice "red herring" dodge, Lou.
"Quick! Look over there!"
You just can't answer the SIMPLE QUESTION: HAVE YOU ADOPTED?
Yes or no is the only answer appropriate.
Yes or no is the only answer appropriate.
However, we don't need to increase the supply of unwanted babies to match that demand. Y
They can adopt from the third world. Their are so many hungry street children in eastern europe, philippines, china, cambodia, india...
Did you read the article? obviously not
Why are you allergic to reading?
=======
I did read it, TaxJoke.
So why aren't you aware of the Hyde Amendment?
Obviously, YOU didn't read the article - it's for funding for NON-abortion services, dimwit.
You should really read up on what you are opposing.
And you simply cannot admit it.
And that makes you a fiscal LIBERAL.
Liberal Lou!
the US has a shortage of adoptable babies.
--------------------------------------------------
Too bad Lou is crazy. Up there with the octomom.
Yep but Do you know the difference between an egg and an unborn child?
----------
An egg is often unfertilized?
The legalization of abortion in the United States, due to the
Supreme Court's decision in Roe v. Wade, has reduced crime in the
late 20th and early 21st centuries. A correlation was observed
between the availability of abortion and subsequent crime.
The absence of unwanted aborted children, following legalization
in 1973, led to a reduction in crime 18 years later, starting in
1992 and dropping sharply in 1995. These would have been the peak
crime-committing years of the unborn children.
The Republicans are always complaining about high crime, but don't
realize they are causing it.
Dare you to watch the documentary "Freakanomics" in netflix.
