Court case could bankrupt Planned Parenthood with $1.8 billion order

The Court of Appeal is preparing to determine the case that supporters and opponents of access to abortion are closely monitoring because the decision may put the family’s organization, the heavy abortion seller, on the hook for $ 1.8 billion.

A full committee of judges in the American Court of Appeal of the Fifth Department listened to the oral arguments on Thursday in the case that lasted, which focuses on the use of family planning for medical aid funds in Texas and Louisiana.

Jenny Bradley Lester, March President for Life, told the Fox News Digital that “risks cannot be higher” and that the lawsuit could escape family planning, a non -profit organization with hundreds of clinics throughout the country.

“The family organization faces a commitment to pay nearly two billion dollars because it continued to fill its treasures with taxpayer money even after it has already excluded two states,” said Lester. “If this commitment will strike a dangerous blow – even existential – for the national operations of the planned paternity and perhaps the scene changed the abortion in this country forever.”

The case comes after Texas and Louisiana have stripped companies with the planned family qualifications in response to activist David Dalidin to launch video clips showing the planned paternity staff discussing the sale of unknown fetal tissues.

Dalidin faced a lawsuit and a trial to registration of employees illegally, but his shots began a fiery storm in the pro -life movement and caused its efforts to weaken the non -profit institution.

However, family planning filed a lawsuit against Texas and Louisiana and initially won a court order that allowed her to continue receiving Medicaid compensation. But the decision was reversed in the appeal after years.

Then the unknown litigant brought a new lawsuit on behalf of the two countries seeking to return the millions of dollars collected by the planned paternity during the presence of the update order.

The court papers indicate that the potential paternity of the scheme can now condemn it – paying the Medicaid dollars that you raised in addition to various complications – can add up to $ 1.8 billion. The accurate amount of the dollar will be determined by a jury in the lower court.

But the family and the unknown litigant, called the court papers as “Alexu”, is now waiting to find out where the fifth district will get.

The arguments of the oral came on Thursday after a committee of three judges of the fifth district, which includes two eyes from the Republic and two judges appointed by the Democrats with the family organization.

Susan Manning, General Adviser to the American Family Planning Union, criticized the Texas and Louisiana suit as a “political motivation” attempt to remove non -profit organizations from work.

“This is the base that has only one goal: to close family planning and depriving patients from access to sexual and reproductive health care,” Manning said in a statement this year. “The health centers of the planned paternity are non -profit organizations that provide basic and high -quality health care for more than two million people across the country every year.”

Separately, life -supporting activists made a progress in their mission to calm the planned paternity this year when the congress voted to strip the non -profit organizations to finance medical aid at the federal level for one year.

The US Court of Appeal for the first circle against family planning stood in a lawsuit for measure.
