A federal judge [on Friday] unsealed a lawsuit a former Planned Parenthood employee filed nearly three years ago. The suit claims that the abortion seller engages in a pernicious and persistent pattern of Medicaid fraud. Abby Johnson, the former director of a Planned Parenthood clinic in the Bryan/College Station area, states in the lawsuit filed by the Alliance Defense Fund (ADF) that Planned Parenthood knowingly sought improper reimbursements from the Texas Women's Health Program from 2007 to 2009.

|  Obama administration to end funding for Texas health program over state's abortion law
Fox News
The federal government will stop funding a Texas health program that serves 130,000 low-income women because of a state law that bars abortion-affiliated clinics from getting public money, a top U.S. health official said Friday. The federal money, which covers 90 percent of the state's $40 million program, will be phased out between May and September because the law violates federal regulations requiring that women have a choice in medical care, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said during a trip to Houston. That means the Women's Health Program will join a long list of programs nationwide on the chopping block because of their affiliations with Planned Parenthood or other groups that offer abortions.

 Victory for pro-life activists in Jacksonville
Pro-Life Action League
When a group of pro-life activists in Jacksonville, Florida applied for a permit to picket outside the Crist Clinic for Women abortion facility, the police denied their request. Their rationale: the public property outside the abortion facility didn't have sidewalks, and in the police department's estimation, it was unsafe for public gatherings. The pro-lifers found this an unacceptable violation of their First Amendment rights of freedom of assembly and freedom of speech, and so they elicited the help of attorneys at the Thomas More Society Pro-Life Law Center, and they sued. |
