Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond has sued the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) over being denied Title X funding, even though the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH) has received said funding for over 40 years.
In a press release, Drummond said both Oklahoma and Tennessee were denied Title X funding due to pro-life laws enacted in both states, and instead the funding was given to abortion organizations like Planned Parenthood. This is despite the fact that federal law requires that family planning funding not be “used in programs where abortion is a method of family planning.” As the lawsuit explains:
HHS seeks to punish Oklahoma for the policies adopted by Oklahoma’s elected representatives to protect unborn life. HHS is interfering with rights reserved to the people and their elected representatives despite a clear federal mandate that Title X funds should not be used in programs where abortion is offered as a method of family planning.”
Late last month, Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti likewise filed a lawsuit against the HHS for the same reasons, noting that the Title X funding had – as in Oklahoma – been given to Planned Parenthood instead of the state.
Though Planned Parenthood frequently positions itself as a much-needed provider of women’s health services, upon which countless women rely, the facts don’t back up that claim. Their 2021-2022 annual report shows that the number of cancer screenings provided there has dropped over 78% since 2004, and preventative care visits have dropped 20% since 2016. Meanwhile, Planned Parenthood’s claim that only 3-5% of their services are related to abortion has been thoroughly debunked; additionally, they commit approximately 40% of all abortions in the United States.
Governor Kevin Stitt applauded the lawsuit in a statement.
“Oklahoma stands up for life,” he said. “The Biden administration’s actions to terminate our healthcare funding due to our pro-life laws is simply an abuse of power. These funds are essential to provide necessary services for Oklahomans across the state. I am glad that Attorney General Drummond has chosen to pursue legal action and I will support this effort in any way necessary.”

IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: Shortly after Hamas terrorists fired over 5,000 rockets from Gaza into Israel on Oct. 7 and then proceeded to attack the Jewish state by land, sea and air – torturing, burning, beheading and murdering well over a thousand people, including women, children and infants, and wounding and abducting hundreds more – world reaction was, in its own way, almost equally shocking.
For after the biggest one-day mass slaughter of Jews since the Nazi Holocaust, what followed was an outpouring of celebratory demonstrations, unbridled Jew-hatred, deliriously gleeful support for Hamas and bitter condemnation of the nation of Israel. Not just in the Arab-Muslim world, but throughout the Western world as well, including all across America.
Why? What is behind the explosion of anti-Israel, anti-Jewish, pro-terror sentiment in the United States, where Israel has long been one of America's closest friends and allies? Why are hordes of young "woke" LGBT demonstrators marching in support of Hamas – when Hamas wouldn't think twice about binding and blindfolding them and throwing them off the roof of a tall building – as they routinely do in the Muslim world?
It turns out there's one area of agreement that is so powerful, deep-seated and all-consuming that the vast differences between the deranged left and the murderous jihadists melt away into Kumbaya harmony.
All of this and much more is completely exposed in November's issue of WND's critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, titled ISRAEL VS. GLOBAL JIHAD: How Jew-hatred, radical Islam and Leftism are pushing us toward World War III. Beyond a deeply insightful dive into why leftists are surging toward radical Islam – which hates and dreams of raping and butchering them – this Whistleblower issue includes fantastic articles by everyone from top Israeli analyst (and former Israel Defense Forces officer) Caroline Glick to Harvest Christian Fellowship's Pastor Greg Laurie on the current war in Israel and biblical prophecies regarding the End Times … which he says are now upon us.
WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
