Arkansas governor pulls tax dollars from Planned Parenthood's baby parts sales scheme

The following quote may be attributed to Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel Casey Mattox regarding Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson’s decision Friday to terminate Medicaid payments to Planned Parenthood in light of the organization’s selling of baby fetal parts:

“American tax dollars should not be used to subsidize billion-dollar corporations that inhumanely and illegally sell baby body parts. Tax dollars that went to two Planned Parenthood clinics in Arkansas will be better used by the 179 community health centers and other clinics that actually provide comprehensive health care. We commend the governor and hope other states will follow his example.”

 

The decision comes within hours after StemExpress, the company that offered to “fiscally reward” Planned Parenthood for its baby body parts, decided to break ties with Planned Parenthood.
