WH in Funding Standoff With Calif. Over Abortion Law
24th January 2020
The Trump administration on Friday gave California a “notice of violation,” threatening to cut federal healthcare funding for the state if it continues to insist that insurance plans cover abortions.
According to Axios, the federal Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) said the requirement is illegal, violating a law that prohibits the U.S. from giving funding to states or other entities that discriminate against health providers that don’t want to provide abortion services.
I love having a Federal government that is willing to get into these pissing contests with proglodyte state governments.
