Protest set at Modesto Planned Parenthood office Saturday

This was determined by looking at invoices from the lab charging Planned Parenthood for the work and certification from the waste disposal company that the tissue was destroyed.

The organization amended a previously filed lawsuit in federal court Wednesday to keep the state Department of Health and Hospitals from ending its Medicaid provider agreements.

To date, House Republicans have uncovered no evidence of actual wrongdoing on the part of Planned Parenthood, but that doesn’t mean they’re done looking for proof to justify the conclusions they’ve already drawn. The administration said state law allowed cancellation with a 30-day notice.

Planned Parenthood of Northern New England operates five health centers in New Hampshire.

This is not simply an investigation of Planned Parenthood, Blackburn said. But the Jindal administration said Louisiana regulations deem the settlement agreement a violation of state Medicaid provider rules.

The U.S. House of Representatives has passed a bill that would lessen the difficulty for states to defund Planned Parenthood.

Harris also referenced controversial video clips released this summer that appear to show Planned Parenthood officials cavalierly discussing the sale of fetal tissue from abortions.

Planned Parenthood of the Columbia Willamette is reimbursed for expenses, but does not profit from the collection of tissue after abortions, according to its president and CEO. The controversy over federal funding for the organization displays a power struggle St. Onge believes distracts future voters from more important issues.
