Accept it or not, the fact is the USA are still one if not the most powerful country on the planet.

In other words, right now a group of Christian White supremacist talibans are the most powerful people on the planet.

It's going to be a long and painful fight to get our country back and recover from their destruction.

"...for the last three years, a group of students who call themselves the 'Womb Service,' has run a contraceptive delivery network for their classmates at locations just off campus. Last month, without warning, university officials revoked the group’s status as a student organization, taking away their ability to meet or advertise on campus."

"There are 'two different Americas' when it comes to birth control, family planning experts say.

A new report finds that only a third of states protect access to affordable contraception through their policies, such as Medicaid expansion or requiring health insurers to pay for prescriptions for months at a time."

States can block #Medicaid money for health care at #PlannedParenthood, the #SupremeCourt says

WASHINGTON (AP) — "States can block the country’s biggest abortion provider, Planned Parenthood, from receiving Medicaid money for health services such as #contraception and #CancerScreenings, the Supreme Court ruled on Thursday.

"The 6-3 opinion by Justice Neil Gorsuch and joined by the rest of the court’s conservatives was not directly about abortion, but it comes as Republicans back a wider push across the country to defund the organization. It closes off Planned Parenthood’s primary court path to keeping Medicaid funding in place: patient lawsuits.

"The justices found that while Medicaid law allows people choose their own provider, that does not make it a right enforceable in court. The court split along ideological lines, with the three liberals dissenting in the case from #SouthCarolina.

"Public health care money generally cannot be used to pay for abortions, but Medicaid patients go to Planned Parenthood for other needs in part because it can be difficult to find a doctor who takes the publicly funded insurance, the organization has said.

"South Carolina Gov. #HenryMcMaster, a Republican [and asshole], said Planned Parenthood should not get any taxpayer money. The budget bill backed by President Donald Trump in Congress would also cut Medicaid money for the group. That could force the closure of about 200 centers, most of them in states where abortion is legal, Planned Parenthood has said."

Britons seem to be suffering from a twentieth century social disease with the idea that possessions are more important than people. Sociologist Dr Howard Jones said there was reason to believe that the affluent society was a bad thing. He added that as people become more affluent society’s standards and behaviour will decline.
