Utah Planned Parenthood hires attorney in response to governor’s funding threat

“In light of ongoing concerns about the organization, I have instructed state agencies to cease acting as an intermediary for pass-through federal funds to Planned Parenthood”.

On Friday, DHEC notified the Greenville Women’s Clinic, Planned Parenthood of South Atlantic in Columbia and Charleston Women’s Medical Center that actions would be taken against each as a result of on-site inspections.

But Dean said the funding Planned Parenthood receives from the state doesn’t affect the company.

“At this stage of the proceedings, the court finds that the threat of irreparable harm to PPH and Jane Does, and the public interest, outweighs the immediate interests and potential injuries to (the state)”, Baker wrote. “As a post abortive woman myself, I am grateful for these videos that expose the truth about Planned Parenthood“. The politics of division does not help New Hampshire’s future.

Similarly, Hutchinson released a statement saying, “As governor, I disagree with the court’s decision“. Ethical conduct by Medicaid providers is a relevant factor for the state to consider. And while most have vague enough names, like “Family Health Center” or “Medical Clinic”, at least one-Trinity Community Dental Clinic in Weaverville, California-sounds like it might not offer the kind of women’s health services that Planned Parenthood clients are looking for. Although general media attention is focused on abortion, Planned Parenthood provides many other health care services that the funding cuts could affect. This includes testing for sexually transmitted infections (STIs), breast and cervical cancer screenings, and birth control prescriptions.

“The fact is that Planned Parenthood plays a critical role in protecting and providing access to critical health services for both women and men”, McGovern said. “Because they won’t find it at Planned Parenthood“. Key context was edited out of the videos, she said, including footage of exculpatory comments from Planned Parenthood executives. “If we want to have a debate in this country on whether we should continue doing fetal research then it is not only Planned Parenthood that should be involved in that debate“.

The same day the GOP-controlled House Judiciary Committee held a hearing to “expose” Planned Parenthood’s “horrific abortion practices”, members of another House committee announced that their federal investigation into the family planning provider has so far turned up no evidence of wrongdoing. He stated the New Hampshire governing body voted to defund Planned Parenthood after videos showed their workers harvesting and selling fetal organs. The center has athletics and recreational facilities, offers arts and cultural programming and has a preschool as well as opportunities for seniors.

She wants all funding that could support abortion to stop. Planned Parenthood has filed similar lawsuits in Louisiana and Alabama challenging the defunding moves.
