The government determining eligibility on such a program based on a political viewpoint. Or hinged on simply performing otherwise legal activities.
Its called 'viewpoint discrimination'.
Try looking up Bill of attainder.
Or try looking up 'targeting' (closely tied to the 1st amendment issue).
Mentioned every one of those previously.
again, explain how fed funded vs. state funded is the real issue you continually dodge...
it's okay ... you hate trump and despise scotus returning roe back to the states ... for you, roe = rotten fish eggs ... by association, PP alone is a fockall with abby-bortions...
disclaimer: I'm pro choice for that 'goldilocks 13 week thingy'...
oh, wellzy...
To the bolded -- it might be best if you dont pull stuff out of thin air and call it the truth.
I was actually a hard proponent of overturning Roe.
And, I dont give a **** what PP is politically. Or what their political viewpoint is in this subject.
Its simply wrong, and against the 1st amendment, to pull PP from the program based on their political viewpoint. Period.
As it would be wrong, and against the 1st Amendment, to pull a doctors group that advocated pro-life issues from the program based solely or primarily on their political viewpoint.
As it would be wrong, and against the 1st Amendment, to pull a doctors group that were openly Nazis and white supremacists from the program based solely or primarily on their political viewpoint.
As it would be wrong, and against the 1st Amendment, to pull a doctors group that were openly BLM from the program based solely or primarily on their political viewpoint.
I dont know where you pull the 'Tanq hates the Scotus ruling overturning Roe' from. Just the opposite. Roe sucked as a legal framework. And had no basis in the Constitution. Period. Without regard to my stance on abortion.
And to the fed funded v state funded -- no difference. 1st amendment applies equally to both sources in this instance. The matter at hand is Federal law, that bars the use of funds to pay for Medicaid services based on a political viewpoint, among other problems.
