My understanding is that they were Medicaid funds being paid for services already rendered. Am I wrong?No, stopping the funding of an abortion clinic is the right of the state.No, stopping the funding of an abortion clinic is the right of the state.Federal funding of abortions is actually illegal.Federal funding of abortions is actually illegal. See: Hyde Amendment.You are always so sensible, but Roe v. Wade made abortion a federal right, didn't it?. Until that's overturned, the feds trump. The Supreme Court can't change that, can they?
It is the opinion of those states that any federal funding to PP is funding abortions. And I agree with them.
Yet stopping abortion, which is a federal right, is the right of the state?
Louisiana and Kansas did not ban abortions.
Sounds like they should find a way to do that without trying to steal funds that are rightfully owed to the clinic.
How are funds "rightfully owed" to an abortion clinic? Is there a line in the US Constitution that says a state has the right to abortions paid for by the federal government?
And none of those funds cover a single abortion.
