Currently, Planned Parenthood is embattled in a new fraud cases in Iowa. In California alone the organization was accused <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lifenews.com\/2012\/07\/27\/huge-medicaid-fraud-case-against-planned-parenthood-continues\/\">by a former top Planned Parenthood official<\/a> of stealing $180\u00a0<em>million\u00a0<\/em>dollars in taxpayer funding. After being caught red-handed committing fraud against the state of Texas, Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast was forced to hand over $4.3 million dollars that it had stolen. And Planned Parenthood isn&#8217;t only troubled by taxpayer fraud; just this week a former New York employee of Planned Parenthood <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lifenews.com\/2013\/11\/22\/planned-parenthood-staffer-heads-to-prison-for-check-forging-scheme\/\">went to prison<\/a> for forging checks while in the organization&#8217;s employ.<\/p>\n<p>Former Planned Parenthood employees, who had an inside view on illegal activities, are frequently the individuals who become whistle-blowers on the fraudulent activity they witnessed during their employment with the organization. This was the case in the most recent Planned Parenthood fraud debacle, when Sue Thayer, who ran a Planned Parenthood facility in Iowa before becoming pro-life, called out the clinic on fraudulent practices to the tune of $28 million dollars. Kristan Hawkins of Students for Life of America commented on the case, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbn.com\/cbnnews\/us\/2013\/November\/Iowa-Planned-Parenthood-Fraud-Case-Begins\/\">saying<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>This is a trend that Planned Parenthood is having to face&#8230; \u00a0This is something that the Government Accountability Office here in Washington is taking a look at, and it may impact their future federal funding at Planned Parenthood if they&#8217;re convicted.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Sue Thayer recalls that when she worked at the Iowa Planned Parenthood in question, webcam abortions were being introduced as a big money-maker. During training employees were told that administering medical abortion drugs was similar to &#8220;playing a video game.&#8221; Unfortunately for Planned Parenthood, its tendency to &#8220;play around&#8221; with taxpayer funding &#8211;and women&#8217;s health&#8211; may finally be catching up with them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Planned Parenthood has become disturbingly familiar with fraud charges.
