Utah state attorneys argued\u00a0in court <\/a>that\u00a0the state’s\u00a0decision to defund Planned Parenthood is not unconstitutional, and is in fact\u00a0allowed under contracts with the abortion giant.<\/p>\n

In August, Governor Gary Herbert moved to cut off <\/a>more than $200,000 in federal money that the state\u00a0passed on\u00a0to local Planned Parenthood facilities.\u00a0In doing so, Utah became the fifth state to distance itself from the unscrupulous organization, following the release of\u00a0undercover videos released by the Center for Medical Progress which revealed high ranking Planned Parenthood officials haggling over prices for fetal body parts.<\/p>\n

In September, Planned Parenthood sued Gov. Herbert,\u00a0arguing his move to\u00a0defund the organization\u00a0was unconstitutional and based on unproven allegations regarding the sale of human tissue.\u00a0A judge ruled that the money should keep flowing to Planned Parenthood, but that was a temporary\u00a0order which\u00a0expires\u00a0today. Planned Parenthood is seeking to extend that order.<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood argues\u00a0that cutting off funding will leave thousands at risk, without access to health care. This argument has been proven false time and time again, as across the nation, there are over 13,500 clinics providing comprehensive health care for women<\/a>\u00a0–\u00a0including several in Utah – as opposed to only 665 Planned Parenthood facilities nationwide. None of the Planned Parenthood facilities\u00a0offer mammograms<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Utah has decided to keep the money flowing to Planned Parenthood through the end of the year. But if the state wins its battle in court, Utah will have the option to cut off the money earlier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
