Judicial Insurrection Continues as Activist Federal Judge Forcibly Halts Defunding Planned Parenthood & All Abortion Vendors, Legislating from the Bench
“Today’s decision out of Boston, in which a single judge decided to put her weight on the legal scales, to reject the balance of powers laid out in the Constitution, explains why so many believe the Left is out of control. Congress has the right to pass laws and the President the responsibility to lead. But instead, we are witnessing a judicial insurrection,” said Students for Life’s Kristan Hawkins. “Our team protested this kind of unbalanced activism on Friday, as the case was argued. Our message remains the same: We stand in support of President Trump and Congress as they fight for common-sense budget cuts and push back against an imperial judiciary. Keep fighting! And Congress should also look at impeaching judges who abuse their authority to force their personal views.”
WASHINGTON D.C. (07-21-2025) – Given the unsurprising news that District Judge Indira Talwani believes that she should be able to overwrite Congress, in the case Planned Parenthood Federation of America Inc et al v Kennedy et al, No. 25-11913, Students for Life of America (SFLA) President Kristan Hawkins called it “judicial tyranny” for a single judge to demand that the conscience rights and finances of ordinary Americans be abused to prop up the discredited abortion vendor, Planned Parenthood. The abortion mega-provider argues Congress cannot cut them and all abortion vendors out of taxpayer-funded healthcare.
On Friday, as the case was argued, SFLA team members and volunteers engaged in protest at the Supreme Court, where the case likely ends up.
At that time, Hawkins said: “The hypocrisy of the activist left’s ‘No Kings’ protests isn’t lost on us because it’s clear that they don’t really mean it. They just want an ‘imperial judiciary’ to rule rather than hearing from duly elected leaders. We must stop letting judges usurp the will of the people. It’s time to talk about impeaching judges,” said Hawkins, adding that abortion vendor claims patients would lose good service represents “a joke on the American taxpayer.”
She continued: “Not even the New York Times thinks Planned Parenthood is good at their self-appointed job. Planned Parenthood has fewer than 600 locations compared to more than 19,000 alternatives through Federally Qualified Health Centers and look-alikes. The difference between the two is full-service care. One offers healthcare to all, planning for all patients to survive their visit. One offers death by intentional abortion, first and foremost. Never forget that Planned Parenthood could keep all the federal money if they gave up committing abortions.”
