The following comes from a December 16 Catholic News Agency article by Matt Hadro:
States cannot keep federal grants away from Planned Parenthood clinics, the Obama administration ruled on Wednesday in a move that critics say is a “parting gift to Big Abortion.”
“The Obama administration, even in its waning hours, has chosen to put Planned Parenthood’s Big Abortion agenda ahead of women’s health and the right of states to decide how best to prioritize public health funding so that patients and the most comprehensive health providers come first,” Steven H. Aden, senior counsel at Alliance Defending Freedom stated.
The Department of Health and Human Services released final regulations “to increase access to affordable family planning and preventive services” under Title X grants Dec. 14. The new rule takes effect Jan. 18, two days before the inauguration of Donald Trump.
Title X is a federal program that promotes “family planning” through grants to various providers of health care through the states.
In its new rule, the HHS says that states can’t withhold these grants to certain health providers if they provide the “family planning” services that Title X is based on: “no grant recipient making subawards for the provision of services as part of its Title X project may prohibit an entity from participating for reasons other than its ability to provide Title X services.”
Thus, if states felt that community health centers – which do not provide abortions but offer other health care options like breast cancer screenings – should receive grants over Planned Parenthood affiliates – which provide abortions but not breast cancer screenings or health care that is not preventative – they could not favor the health centers if both recipients met the criteria for the Title X grants.
States such as New Hampshire and Kansas have tried to limit Planned Parenthood affiliates’ funding under the program, the HHS has claimed, but now they can only do so if they “can prove that they disperse birth control better than Planned Parenthood does.”
You can see, dear Catholic Reader, that President Obama is another of Satan’s Children. His prime elective mission (State, US Senator and President) has been to advance and protect abortion, and the money that comes with it. Surprisingly, there has been little written on this connection (not the same as merely stating opposition to his position, where there is much writing).
And, notwithstanding his prefessed love and loyalty to his “race,” P. Obama aids and abets genocide. Compelling literature is vast showing the devastating effect that abortion has on the black community. Abortions are sought in numbers far in excess of the ration of black community population numbers to that of non-minorities. Margaret Sanger, spirit mother…
(Part Deux) ” . . . of the Nazis, continues to be praised by the Democrats and P. Obama. He is unequivocally not a friend of the black culture and community.
People, think of our History as a time when the devil truly has made a difference. Do you truly think that only Mankind influences how things have gone in the US of A? Christ, through our Holy Mother, has given America a kind of pass for a time. While P. Obama slinks off — after sticking the taxpaers with yet another multi-million dollar vacation tab — he leaves the footprints of his Master. Pray for Donald Trump.
I don’t know the legalities here and I wish the article would have addressed it but isn’t this a futile tip of the hat to the baby killers on his way out with a rule that will be rescinded five minutes after Trump takes office?
What can one state re the comment of St. Chrisotpher but Amen!
This is surely verified by the reading of Isaih, Jeremiah during this Adven season.
When, for the good of mankind, does The Father call it “quits” for his offspring and bring forth HIs justice?
If one has ever raise a recalcitrant teen, one would know about this.
And yes, prayers for Donald Trump!
Is Trump the new Constantine?

Eight months ago, Blaise Joseph cast Trump as a new Constantine, the pagan emperor who set Christianity free. Here is his far-sighted article =
Coming from a commerce background, Trump is the “high risk/high return” option. He could end up achieving little for conservatism and embarrass conservatives in the short-term. But it is also quite possible that he drives cultural Marxism out of the public sphere, allowing Christians to make their case freely for many generations to come.
Maybe it is just those of us in our impetuous youth, but we have had enough of the culture of political correctness and should be willing to take…
And there are people, who claim to be Catholics, that voted for Obama!. Obviously fake Catholics!
What a complete and total fraud this man was and is, and to think that millions of Roman Catholics voted for this EVIL man, TWICE! Many of us new even as he was running for President what he was all about, a Marxist-Leninist, pro-abortion, open borders, anti-white, yes I said it, somebody must say the truth about this charlatan. This was a George Soros plant, a man with a shady history, origin unknown, a Muslim father and Muslim step-father, studied in an Islamic Madrassa in Indonesia and can recite the Quran in fluent Classical Arabic. In just 8 short years this man has almost destroyed what was left of the United States.
