Florida Planned Parenthood Asks Judge Block Potential State Sanctions In

The Center for Medical Progress, which has now released seven undercover videos about fetal tissue collection and distribution, said state and federal laws require that the same treatment be given to an infant born-alive after an abortion as to a normally delivered baby.

On Friday Arkansas joined the ranks of Louisiana and Alabama with its decision to defund Planned Parenthood.

Planned Parenthood contended that the state was using new and unannounced measurements to make the allegation, effectively shortening the definition of the first trimester.

Planned Parenthood, which provides healthcare services for women nationwide, has denied any wrongdoing.

Hochul was joined by Senate Democratic Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, D-Yonkers, and several other Democratic lawmakers at the rally, according to a new release from organizer Family Planning Advocates, a lobbying organization funded largely by Planned Parenthood affiliates.

Lynch said in July that DOJ is going to “review all the information and determine what steps, if any, to take at the appropriate time”.

The legal move filed in circuit court in Tallahassee comes after Florida’s Republican Governor Rick Scott ordered a probe last month of the state’s 16 Planned Parenthood locations which resulted in three clinics being cited August. 5 for illegally performing abortions in the second trimester.

Planned Parenthood’s Columbia clinic accounted for 29 percent of the 5,700 abortions performed in South Carolina past year. They said the ad is running on broadcast television. The group said the event is part of a National Day of Protest intended to “raise awareness about Planned Parenthood’s trafficking of aborted baby parts“. “With nearly half of its total revenue coming from taxpayers, Planned Parenthood further enriches itself by selling organs and other tissue from infants robbed of their lives by abortion”. The money in question went mostly for education, services to victims of sexual assault and pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease testing. This despite the fact that donating tissues from abortion procedures is illegal in Florida, Planned Parenthood of Florida denied that they were doing so, and there was no evidence to suggest otherwise.
