. Maybe groups who do those things should get money from the federal government, maybe they should not, but refusing to give them money is not an attack against them or a restriction on their liberty. I agree that the government is under no obligation to fund contraception let alone through the traditional groups. Abruptly withdrawing funding for contraception to people who have become dependent on it, though, as a new-administration power statement, is a virtual attack punishing those poor people for the politics of their provider. If they had announced a transition to a provider that was more politically correct, that would have been fine with me. What they did was disgusting, although not unexpected, since it happened before.
