ACLU Sues Alaska Governor After He Cut Court’s Budget for Forcing Abortion Funding

July 19, 2019

Back on July 10, we reposted a story that was both amusing and telling. Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy had decided to cut from the budget of the state Supreme Court the amount it cost the state of Alaska to fund abortions, a requirement (you guessed it) of the Alaska Supreme Court.

By using line-item veto, Dunleavy reduced the budget of the state’s courts by $334,700 – the precise amount of public money spent on paying for elective abortions annually.

The Office of Management and Budget explained, “The Legislative and Executive Branch are opposed to state-funded elective abortions; the only branch of government that insists on state-funded elective abortions is the Supreme Court. …The annual cost of elective abortions is reflected by this reduction.”

“The Federal Government also prohibits any federal funds paying for elective abortions,” the document also notes.

Well, that was too, too much for the ACLU of Alaska. Yesterday Joshua Decker, its executive director, held a press conference to tell reporters “that the governor’s decision to veto funding for the courts violated the separation of powers doctrine and breached the Alaska Constitution on gubernatorial veto power,” according to KTUU, Channel 2. “The governor cannot impermissibly interfere with the functions of another co-equal branch,” Decker added.

Alaska Public Media reported, “Even if the cut to the court system is ultimately overturned by legislators with other vetoed items, the ACLU is still likely to ask for a ruling on the matter.”

Decker wants the funding cut reversed and the governor’s action declared illegal under state law.

THE GOOD NEWS

SALVATION

Salvation is a FREE GIFT from God. SALVATION IS BY FAITH ALONE & FAITH IS BELIEVING WHAT GOD SAYS.

  1. God declares all mankind sinners and we all fall short of Glory of God. Romans 3:23
  2. The payment for our sin is death. Romans 6:23
  3. But God…because he loved you so much sent His own Son, Jesus Christ, to die in your place, for your sins, was buried, and rose from the dead three days later. 1 Cor 15:1-42cor 5:21

All God asks is that you believe by faith alone in 1, 2, & 3. That you’re a sinner, separated from God but God sent his Son to die for your sins, was buried & rose again 3 days later.

‘that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. ‘

Romans 10:9
