WASHINGTON — With Congress in summer recess into September, anti-abortion officials in a number of Republican-controlled states are rushing to halt public funding for Planned Parenthood or to investigate it in reaction to hidden-camera videos claiming that it profits from fetal tissue sales.

On Monday, Planned Parenthood of Southwest and Central Florida sought a judge’s emergency injunction against the state health agency, which did inspections ordered by the governor and cited three clinics — in St. Petersburg, Naples and Fort Myers — as illegally performing second-trimester abortions when they are licensed only for first-trimester procedures. The state used a new definition of gestational age, one that differs from that of medical societies.

Planned Parenthood condemned the Florida charges as false, just as it has the allegations of trafficking in fetal parts that have been lodged against it since last month in a series of online videos. The recordings of Planned Parenthood officials were secretly made by abortion opponents posing as biomedical representatives seeking tissue for medical research.

Those videos have spurred the most energized campaign to “defund” the nonprofit organization in several years — joined by Republicans in Congress; state capitals, especially in the South; and the 2016 presidential field. And more videos have been promised, roughly at the rate of one a week, to keep the issue alive into the fall.
