Alabama Governor Robert Bentley terminated<\/a> the state’s Medicaid contracts with Planned Parenthood on August 6. Today, Planned Parenthood Southeast filed suit against the governor, seeking for funding be restored because they believe Bentley’s “decision to to cancel Medicaid contracts with the organization violated federal law,”\u00a0reports<\/a> the Montgomery Advertiser.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood also announced this week<\/a> that it is suing the state of Louisiana<\/a> for\u00a0terminating\u00a0its Medicaid contract with the abortion giant following videos\u00a0from The Center for Medical Progress implicating several Planned Parenthood affiliates in the illegal trafficking of fetal body parts.<\/p>\n

Following Planned Parenthood’s paid analysis of the Center for Medical Progress’s videos<\/a> – which PP alleges<\/a>\u00a0contain “substantive omissions” – the group has insisted that the videos cannot “[be held]\u00a0up as evidence in a court of law.” David Daleiden from CMP responded<\/a>,\u00a0stating that even PP’s analysts admitted that they could find “no evidence of audio manipulation\u201d and that the “substantive omissions” are in reality nothing more than “bathroom breaks and waiting periods between meetings.” This, Daleiden says, “does not change the hours of dialogue with top-level Planned Parenthood executives.”<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood Southeast claims that Gov. Bentley “is trying to dictate where a woman can go for contraception and other preventive care if she\u2019s enrolled in Medicaid,” and that “restricting access to providers will do nothing to help the urgent problems we face.” But recent reports<\/a> have shown that there are only two Planned Parenthood locations in Alabama, compared to 234 health clinics in the state,\u00a0able to provide\u00a0comprehensive care to low-income individuals:<\/p>\n

Nationwide<\/a>, Planned Parenthood has 665\u00a0facilities,\u00a0while there are\u00a013,540 comprehensive health clinics able to provide\u00a0holistic care for patients – without\u00a0the scandals involving the trafficking of fetal body parts, and without abortion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
