Story highlights Ohio investigation reveals that Planned Parenthood not selling fetal parts

Planned Parenthood called investigation "flat-out false"

(CNN) Attorneys for Planned Parenthood filed a lawsuit Sunday in federal court claiming that Ohio politicians are attempting to ban abortion.

"Politicians in Ohio will stop at nothing to ban abortion in all cases in our state. Today, we're asking a federal court to prevent the state from this plainly political attempt to restrict women's access to safe and legal abortion," said Stephanie Kight, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Greater Ohio.

Planned Parenthood officials called the claims "bogus" after DeWine, a Republican, threatened to take legal action against the group.
