Louisiana: Gov. Cuts Medicaid Contract with Planned Parenthood

HeadlineAug 04, 2015

Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal has ended the state’s Medicaid contract with Planned Parenthood, citing the undercover videos. This comes despite the fact the only two Planned Parenthood clinics in Louisiana do not actually provide abortions. A third clinic under construction in New Orleans will provide abortions, but Planned Parenthood says the clinic will not participate in tissue donation. Over the weekend, an unidentified vandal poured gasoline on the newly laid foundation at the New Orleans Planned Parenthood site and set fire to a security guard’s car.
