“It has become clear that this is not an organization that is worthy of receiving public assistance from the state”, Jindal said in a release.

Well, I still don’t want my tax dollars going toward abortions.
Busloads of anti-abortion activists rallied outside the Planned Parenthood clinic near University Avenue and Vandalia Street in St. Paul on Tuesday for a speak-out staged to coincide with similar protests around the nation.
She said Planned Parenthood provided over 15,000 health care visits in Louisiana in 2014, and that more than 4,300 low-income women and men received health care through Medicaid funding.
But the president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast, Melaney Linton, said the latest video “shows an extremely offensive intrusion and lack of respect for women with footage of medical tissue in a lab”.
On and on it goes, in each of these supposedly “bombshell” videos, forming what could be called an inkblot conversation, similar to the Rorschach tests in which the viewer looks at an inkblot and describes what picture they see.
“We are working closely with the Office of the Attorney General to evaluate whether any regulations or laws were broken, and will take appropriate action once the investigation is finalized”, he said.
In an interview last week, Cole said he expects Planned Parenthood funding to be part of the negotiations over the budget for the fiscal year that begins October 1. To date, there’s been no damage to the credibility of the previous videos being released by the Center for Medical Progress by comparing the edited videos to the context of the unedited footage.
The bill was introduced following the release of four videos from the Center for Medical Progress, two of which show Planned Parenthood executives discussing the costs associated with the procurement and donation of fetal body parts.
Ironically, this is the very same abortion clinic exposed in a new shocking video released today that catches a Planned Parenthood official discussing how the abortion business sells “fully intact” aborted babies.

So let’s acknowledge up front that some startling, even grisly conversations will inevitably follow when women getting an abortion agree to donate the stem cells and other tissue to scientific research. But consider: Defunding Planned Parenthood would inevitably result in more un-planned pregnancies and therefore more abortions, not fewer. Speaker Carter Sneed, the director of the Center for Ethics and Culture at the University of Notre Dame, cut to the heart of the Planned Parenthood’s situation by quoting the mother superior of the Sisters of Life: “When you’re in the business of killing, lying is easy”.
