Planned Parenthood Southeast on Friday filed a federal lawsuit over Gov. Robert Bentleys effort to cut off Medicaid payments to the organizations Alabama clinics.
The organization said Bentleys effort penalizes low-income women who seek contraceptive and preventative health care services at the clinics. The lawsuit was filed in federal court in Montgomery. It accuses Bentley of violating a federal law that they said requires Medicaid patients to have their choice of provider to receive family planning care.
Were in court today because each and every patient, and her ability to make her own deeply personal and private health care decisions, matters, said Staci Fox, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Southeast.
Bentleys press office did not have an immediate response to the lawsuit.
Bentley earlier this month announced he was moving to terminate Medicaid provider agreements with Planned Parenthood. The governor cited now famous hidden-camera videos that accuse the organization of selling fetal organs for profit after abortions.

I’m worried about you.

This “no choice” meme is ridiculous!
The White House is making the same fraudulent claim.
Since when is an outfit with the tax status of PP a ward of the state?
They can play the “what about the health of all these poor women” game till they’re blue in the face.
There simply is NO legal obligation.
Never use a gun when a baseball bat will do.
That is the whole thing in a nutshell. MONEY! They get tax funding, they donate to Democratic political PACS, they get Demonrats elected, who then vote in more funding for PP. What a great racket they have set up. All funded by US!
It can and must come to that. When we start playing by the Left’s own rules of engagement, they will have no one but themselves to blame.
They are suing Louisiana also.
The state should be putting them under arrest, and trying them for mass murder.
And there a large number of us that would help you do just that.
Does anyone else remember when this all started and all politicians and government proclamations always included the disclaimer that “no government or tax funds will go to support or fund abortions”?
Well, how in H did we aver get off that track?
Incrementalism?
Obama has conditioned foreign aide on whether a country, e.g. Kenya opens up abortion. He even forced them to put it in their Constitution in 2007 when he was only a Senator!
