Planned Parenthood says it will have to shut down if Texas wins lawsuit demanding millions
[BLAZE] The state of Texas is suing Planned Parenthood, and the organization argued that it may go out of business if the lawsuit is successful.

"This baseless case is an active effort to shut down Planned Parenthood health centers," said Alexis McGill Johnson, the president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America.

The lawsuit alleges that Planned Parenthood wrongfully accepted payment from Medicaid during a time when the state was suing to end those funds.

Texas first notified the abortion provider that it would end Medicaid payments in December 2016. The organization sued and got a federal court to agree with it, which allowed it to continue Medicaid. In 2020, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit reversed that ruling, and it was upheld in 2021.

The lawsuit says that Planned Parenthood filed a legal appeal rather than a legislative appeal and argues that all payments accepted by the organization after Feb. 1, 2017, were fraudulent.

Some how I'm not heart broken about this...unless the lawsuit is turned down.

#2 Anything that impedes the slaughter of innocent, defenseless children should be celebrated with high praise.
