Judge reinstates Arkansas’ Planned Parenthood contract

She has been hired to work in strategic advocacy and bring policy counsel to the Planned Parenthood Action Council of Utah. I think Warner believes women are not intelligent enough to find other health care facilities and would start reproducing madly and overpopulate the world. Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal provided an example for Branstad to follow cancel any Medicaid contracts with Planned Parenthood.

But Planned Parenthood of the Heartland and three unnamed women disagreed, and on September 11, filed a lawsuit saying the decision violated their constitutional rights, and asking for a permanent injunction.

Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood will continue for at least 14 more days, after Judge Baker ruled on Friday, September 18 in favor of the organization’s lawsuit against the state.

In her first week on the job, Kelly has been organizing a local rally in support of Planned Parenthood to take place September 29 in conjunction with national demonstrations. The organization only offers medication abortions at its Arkansas facilities.

To these extremists and politicians, Planned Parenthood’s patients exist in theory. Honestly, I don’t know what I would do without them.

Democrats pointed out that Planned Parenthood has always been prohibited from spending federal money on abortions, thanks to appropriations riders dating back to the 1970s.

Planned Parenthood of Middle & East Tennessee had agreed to rent space from the center for an October 1 cocktail party fundraiser called Amuse-Bouche, which is French for “entertaining the mouth”. If Republicans in Congress bothered to invite people to their hearings who weren’t dead-set on shuttering Planned Parenthood’s doors forever – maybe, perhaps, someone from the organization itself – they might figure that out.

Amy Cookson is a patient of Planned Parenthood of Northern New England and resident of Winthrop. Originally from East Hampton, Connecticut now lives in Marin County, California. Her father was not as lucky in his own battle with cancer.
