MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Alabama Governor Robert Bentley (R) Thursday terminated the state’s Medicaid contract with Planned Parenthood after the legitimacy of using any taxpayer dollars to fund the abortion provider was once again called into question following the release of several videos describing its harvest and sale of aborted baby organs and body parts.
“The deplorable practices at Planned Parenthood have been exposed to Americans, and I have decided to stop any association with the organization in Alabama,” said Governor Bentley. “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.”
Yellowhammer has obtained a copy of the letter sent to Planned Parenthood CEO Staci Fox Thursday afternoon.

It’s a beginning.....may it continue
Roll Tide
It is a beginning, but it took selling of fetal parts to cause the response. As though killing the baby wasn’t horrific enough?
I don’t dispute that.
Just the start of what will follow. If this evil agency is not finally exposed for what it is, what will it take?
I’m not calling into question your statement :). What the governors are doing now just seems to be something that should gave been done a long time ago.
1) Planned Parenthood/Abortion.
2) Immigration
If those the candidate is wishy-washy on both of those, the Democrats win.
And it will not be Hillary.
What will Bentley do if a court rules otherwise??????
Defund Planned Parenthood if you can and if you mean it, Republicans, but when the courts come down on you to force PP funding what will you do?
We need more than defunding of Planned Parenthood.
The courts will be used then to force funding in the end and will the GOP defund, disobey and or defy the judiciary?
Foundations and the fedgov are the biggest donors
Bravo, sir!
Planned Parenthood is in the process of being Acorn’ed
Scott Walker said tonight he and the great state of Wisconsin defunded PP 4 years ago.
Ping to the state list.
And that's just CA, there are many other liberals all over America who would be just as hard to convince that killing babies is murder whether in the womb by chopping them up while they're still alive and feeling the pain or scalding them to death with liquid chemicals. There are more cruel procedures used in abortion mills to snuff the life out of helpless little pre-birth human beings while their silent screams go unheard.
Am I over-stating the wickedness of the immoral, unGodly, sector of America's people who have caused a Holy God to take His protecting hands off America and leave us to the mercy of nations who hate us with every ounce of vitriol they can muster up? Nations such as Iran, North Korea, China, Russia, etc? I don't think I am, in fact I think I'm understating the wickedness of the Planned Parenthood baby-killers to whom we tax paying Americans give one half BILLION dollars every year. That's $500,000,000 in numerical terminology, a pretty penny I would say.
tell the judge to get right with God, otherwise go to hell if the continued federal dollars are spent on murder, infanticide and basically profiting on the use of human body parts for financial gain. This is ludicrous that the judges will have a say in yet another issue that should be decided by the taxpayers, not dumbass judges
well that is some welcome good news for a change
Gee, Governor, that's been the case for decades now. Thanks for waking up and sniffing the coffee.
