Indira Talwani, a US District Judge, issued an injunction arguing that this provision may be unconstitutional. The judge argued that the provision &#8220;targets&#8221; Planned Parenthood facilities for providing abortions. Talwani took aim at the provision that prevents abortion providers from receiving Medicare funding for up to a year for reproductive related services that they provided.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><b>From Just the News:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani in Boston, an Obama appointee, issued a preliminary injunction, saying it was likely unconstitutional to specifically target Planned Parenthood&#8217;s health centers for punishment for providing abortions, Reuters reported.<\/p>\n<p>The provisions contained in the bill prohibit abortion providers from receiving Medicaid funding for up to one year for any other reproductive health services they may provide.<\/p>\n<p>The Department of Justice argued that &#8220;the bill stops federal subsidies for Big Abortion&#8221; and urged the judge not to let Planned Parenthood and its members &#8220;supplant duly enacted legislation with their own policy preferences.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Talwani ruled that the law&#8217;s text and structure were clearly crafted for all members of the parent organization Planned Parenthood Federation of America, even if they were not named. Because of the specificity, it likely makes the provision an unconstitutional &#8220;bill of attainder,&#8221; an act of Congress that wrongly seeks to inflict punishment without a trial, according to the judge.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Plaintiffs are likely to establish that Congress singled them out with punitive intent,&#8221; Talwani wrote.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Additional Reading:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mittelstadt, N.
