NEW ORLEANS, July 29, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) – In the wake of Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast's (PPGC) $1.4 million Medicaid fraud settlement with the state of Texas, two state pro-life organizations have called for Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal to end all state funding to PPGC.

The abortion provider operates two facilities in the state, which received $575,000 in taxpayer funds from the Louisiana's Department of Health and Hospitals (DHH) during the 2012 fiscal year.

The Planned Parenthood affiliate agreed last Wednesday to refund Texas Medicaid $1.4 million in fraud for overbilling, billing for services it never rendered, and falsifying medical records to use state funds to pay for abortion-related care, according to Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott.

Need some Cajuns to raise a ruckus with the state Legislature.

One way Jindal can find more money for the budget -- though it would not be much.

It is:

(1) the principal

(2) getting rid of government waste

Please get video for the rest of us to enjoy.

I am surprised that Louisiana funded PP in the first place.

Need some Louisiana residents to contact the state Legislature.

At a time when there is a budget crunch, there is no reason the state of Louisiana should be funding Planned Parenthood and its criminal activities.

There is also the case of Planned Parenthood Golden Gate in California.

Only that was such a mess that Planned Parenthood made that organization disapear.

Not only did it defraud the state of California on Medicaid, the IRS was investigating Planned Parenthood Golden Gate.

Link to Freerepublic article about this with links to other stories such as the New York Times:

Planned Parenthood Golden Gate: IRS investigates and POOF! it disappears!!!
