Defunding Planned Parenthood is Constitutional - Christian Newswire: This week, the Thomas More Society filed a 'friend of the court' brief in the US Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in opposition to Planned Parenthood's assertion that defunding abortion providers imposes an 'unconstitutional condition' on physicians' alleged right to perform abortions.
The brief states that 'abortion providers have no constitutionally recognized Fourteenth Amendment right to perform abortions' and that funding restrictions would not 'interfere with the ability of pregnant women to obtain abortions. Accordingly, because the constitutional rights of women seeking abortions have not been violated, neither has the asserted right of their providers.'
