Yet another state is being told that federal tax dollars for family planning would be better spent in local clinics than if it were given to Planned Parenthood.

Over the past several weeks, undercover videos from the Center for Medical Progress have, in part, identified California Planned Parenthood affiliates and California-based StemExpress for their roles in the harvesting and sale of aborted baby body parts.

For that reason, Alliance Defending Freedom attorney Michael J. Norton has written to California's governor and legislative leaders, asking for not only an investigation of Planned Parenthood but also an end to taxpayer funding of the abortion business.

"No organization that traffics in the hearts, lungs, heads and livers of unborn babies is entitled to a single penny of taxpayer dollars. The only thing Planned Parenthood is entitled to is a federal and state investigation," he argues. "Taxpayer money should fund local community health centers, not a scandal-plagued billion-dollar corporation."

A recently released map shows more than 13,000 local medical facilities throughout the country already in existence that could take over providing medical needs of women now being serviced by Planned Parenthood. The difference, however, is that those local clinics don't offer abortions.

'Far more options' at local clinics

Louisiana has dozens of local medical clinics. Deanna Wallace of the Louisiana Right to Life Federation tells OneNewsNow that women in her state would be better off seeking their care at those existing clinics.

"We have over 200 clinics that can receive [Medicaid] funding – 18 in Baton Rouge and 54 in New Orleans [the locations of the two Planned Parenthood clinics in the state]," she explains. That, she adds, offers women "far more options than just Planned Parenthood" – which she says is "more concerned with their bottom line than making sure that Louisianans actually have access to healthcare."

Planned Parenthood has sued Louisiana after Governor Bobby Jindal cancelled the state Medicaid contract with Planned Parenthood, sending the money to other health clinics throughout the state.

"In reality, if Planned Parenthood wins this lawsuit, Medicaid funding to Louisiana could be cut off completely," Wallace continues, "which means that millions of men, women, and children would lose access to basic healthcare – and this [battle] is all over two Planned Parenthood clinics."

President Obama has also threatened to cut federal Medicaid purse strings to Louisiana – similar to what he did to Kansas when he stripped that state of Title X funds after it shifted the monies away from Planned Parenthood and directed it instead to public health departments and hospitals.
