Planned Parenthood is upset that a federal court has ruled in favor of Texas, and the abortion provider is refusing to give up on the state's Medicaid funds it once enjoyed.
Texas recently decided to allocate its own funds only to organizations that do not perform abortions. Now that the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has decided against Planned Parenthood's challenge, Elizabeth Graham of Texas Right to Life explains that the organization has gone to state court.
"Texas Right to Life was successful in redirecting 40 percent of the family planning money, which is our tax dollars, to other, more worthwhile healthcare programs," Graham explains, "and [Planned Parenthood is] absolutely desperate to keep their hands in the pockets of taxpayers for their child-killing and their woman-hating business."
The pro-lifer feels Planned Parenthood's political agenda, along with the loss of funds, are the driving forces behind the latest lawsuit.
"Our Department of Health, and legislators, and Governor [Rick] Perry have told Planned Parenthood time and time again, if you would stop abortion and divorce yourself from the child-killing business from which you profit, you would be eligible for all of these healthcare dollars. But we see where their allegiance lies," Graham concludes. "They are too committed to abortion."
The Texas Right to Life director deems the latest court battle "a sad, desperate attempt" to force Texas to comply with federal demands to send the money to the abortion giant.
The state court has issued a restraining order against the state.
