The Obama administration has sided with Planned Parenthood in its effort to keep its contract with Louisiana, arguing in a court filing that the state’s decision to defund the organization may be in violation of the federal Medicaid Act.
The Justice Department filed a “statement of interest” late Monday in favor of Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast, arguing that “thus far, Louisiana has not proffered sufficient reasons to terminate Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast Inc. (“PPGC”) from its Medicaid program.”
“If Louisiana terminates PPGC from participation in its Medicaid program without providing any justification related to PPGC’s qualifications to perform or bill for medical services, the State would violate the rights of Medicaid beneficiaries to receive medical care from the qualified providers of their choice,” said the filing in federal court in Louisiana.
The Justice Department’s move comes as Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal’s administration prepares for a federal court hearing Wednesday in Baton Rouge in response to Planned Parenthood’s request for a temporary restraining order to stop the state government from cancelling its $300,000 contract.

This isn’t news. If you boot Obonzo in the ass, you’ll bust Lynch’s nose.
The Obama administration has sided with the ‘palestinians’ against Americans murdered by the ‘palestinians.’
This could make a good horror movie. Baby Butchers of the Rainbow Palace starring Bar Hack Insane Obonzo.
The Obama administration has sided with Mexican drug cartels against US border guards.
The Obama administration has sided with the muslim terrorists against Israel.
The Obama administration has sided with illegal aliens against the laws of the US.
The Obama administration has sided with criminal black thugs against the police forces of the US.
The Obama administration has sided with militant faggots against Christianity.
That’s nothing. On Sept. 15, the UN is going to declare Palestine a ‘state’ and as part of the UN , Palestine will ask the UN and US to defend it from Israel.
That’s a shock. No way Obama wants Jindal as the nominee.
The only equitable justice for fiends in our government who continue to support Planned Parenthood knowing it is selling babies’ body parts would be to harvest their body parts without anesthesia while they are still alive.
What does the termination clause of the contract say?
there was the contractual thirty days notice.
Why should the Justice Dept. be involved at all in a State contract?
That should be a foregone conclusion. And a majority of voters backed the Obama administration. They indicated this by their votes. Twice. Obama thugs are in power with the full cooperation and approval of a majority of voters.
