Appeals Court Weighs Funds for Women, Not Bombs
The AP notes that a law signed by Trump, targeting organizations receiving over $800,000 in Medicaid and providing abortions, has cut Planned Parenthood's funding. Lawyers are now arguing whether such cuts increase abortions—a fascinating concern, given the immediate and lethal impact of other Congressional spending decisions. Meanwhile, the very same Congress approving these domestic cuts
routinely greenlights billions in military aid; for instance, the $14.5 billion aid package for Israel approved October 2023, following an unwavering pattern of support. One wonders where the concern for 'life' ends. Perhaps it’s tied to who benefits from the destruction, rather than the creation, of it.
