In a series of tweets Thursday, Alabama's Republican Governor Robert Bentley made his state the third one to cut state funds from Planned Parenthood this week, as the fallout continues from the recent release of five controversial videos describing the harvesting and marketing of aborted babies' organs for financial reward.
"The deplorable practices at Planned Parenthood have been exposed to Americans. I've terminated any association with the organization in AL," noted Bentley, a medical doctor, on his Twitter account.
"As a doctor and Alabama's governor, the issue of human life, from conception to birth and beyond, is extremely important to me. I respect human life, and I do not want Alabama to be associated with an organization that does not," he added.
A copy of a letter Bentley sent to Planned Parenthood CEO Staci Fox Thursday afternoon highlighted by Yellowhammer News details the official contract termination.
"Pursuant to the Alabama Medicaid Agency Provider Agreement under section IV. Term Amendment, and Termination, the Agency is exercising its ability to terminate the existing agreement(s) with Planned Parenthood Southeast, Inc. with fifteen (15) days written notice. The termination of the provider agreement(s) with Planned Parenthood Southeast Inc. will be effective fifteen (15) days after receipt of this letter," it read in part.
Reacting to the announcement, Fox told CNN that Bentley's decision will deprive thousands of low-income and uninsured men and women of services they need, but it won't shutter their operations.

This is exactly why we need to go back to a Constitutional government in which the states get things done.
Keep it up!
The press can cover this up all they want. But when the money runs dry, people are going to find out why.
Roll Tide
Praise the Lord!
Thank you, Alabama!
“Controversial Videos”
Controversial?
Those are damning videos, and I mean that in the theological sense.
Appalling, despicable (in the original, non-Minion sense), horrific, revolting are also appropriate adjectives.
What states were the other two?
RE: What states were the other two?
The Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals pulled Medicaid funding from the organization under orders from Gov. Bobby Jindal.
New Hampshire’s Republican-led Executive Council decided to end contracts with Planned Parenthood earlier this month when the state denied $639,000 in state funding to the organization.
Texas is probably going to be the next one.
Love ‘Bama. Roll Tide.
Texas should have been first.
ROLL TIDE ROLL
WAR DAMN EAGLE!
IT WOULD BE NICE...if one of the candidates tried to organize a multistate defunding campaign and show up the wimps in the Senate.
What is amazing is that Planned Parenthood receives $500,000,000 from the government,they charge a fee for their services and still get funding from the states. Isn’t it time for a massive federal audit to let everybody know where all of that money is going? We know that a lot of it is going back to the politicians that are keeping it funded.
Many thanks for that info!
Hope Texas joins them!
