Texas’ plans of reducing Medicaid funding have gone up following a series of video releases wherein Planned Parenthood staff was seen doing discussion over sales of fetal tissue and price negotiations after procedures for abortion. A judge has ordered that Planned Parenthood clinics could remain open in Louisiana.

Planned Parenthood said in their statement, it was wrong to downplay the significant reproductive health and preventive health services provided by them.

The lawsuit stated that the provider network available to Texas Medicaid patients has declined in recent years to only over 30% of practicing physicians. Federal dollars awarded via Medicaid would also come to an end with the order. Texas is among the 5 states that have tried black funding for Planned Parenthood.

On Monday, Planned Parenthood sued Texas for throwing it out of the Medicaid program of the state. It has launched what seems to be another protracted legal fight over ongoing attempts of Republican leaders to strangle off all public funding from the organization under their fight against abortion.

Rocky Mountains’ Planned Parenthood is among the affiliates seen in undercover videos, released by the pro-life Center for Medical Progress.

The Columbia Tribune reported that a legislative investigation into fetal tissuedisposition in Missouri has also highlighted the relationship between Planned Parenthood and the university.

In October, Stuart Bowen Jr., inspector general of the Texas Health & Human Services Commission, wrote, “The State has determined that you and your Planned Parenthood affiliates are no longer capable of performing medical services in a professionally competent, safe, legal, and ethical manner”.
