Let me be crystal clear: Planned Parenthood did not commit Medicaid fraud. As always, Planned Parenthood health centers followed the law and provided the high-quality care that patients deserve — everything from birth control to STI testing and treatment to cancer screenings.
These allegations are baseless, but that doesn't matter to the politicians and their allies who want to ban abortion nationwide and shut down every Planned Parenthood health center in the country. It doesn't matter to Governor Greg Abbott or Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who are looking to score political points by attacking patients and providers.
Don't let these cynical and dishonest attacks harm patients in Texas.
Make a gift right now and it will be matched dollar for dollar.
This is not the first time politicians and their allies have tried to use the courts to push their agenda and attack access to care. It's the same playbook they used to overturn
Roe v. Wade and enforce abortion bans in Texas and other states.
While this lawsuit should have been dismissed, you can count on us to keep fighting to protect the health and rights of patients and defend Planned Parenthood doctors, nurses, and other staff who deliver essential care. Thank you for everything you do to protect reproductive rights and access to care.
