Planned Parenthood asks federal court to block Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal’s order

Planned Parenthood urged a federal court Tuesday to not allow Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal's order to take effect so that parents can continue receiving medical care through the organization using Medicaid. According to officials with the group, Jindal's order is against law and will prevent 5,200 Louisianans from using the service.

Three patients who are co-plaintiffs in the case have also supported the idea of blocking enforcement of the order by Jindal.

However, Jindal administration officials said the order is absolutely legal and Planned Parenthood is flailing. Mike Reed, a spokesman for Jindal, who is running for president, said in a statement Tuesday afternoon that there is no sense to have Planned Parenthood in effect any more.

The issue is also surrounded by a series of undercover videos released by an anti-abortion group, claiming a 75-year-old health care organization and abortion provider sells fetal parts to research companies. The organization also faced allegations of other illegal practices.

Planned Parenthood, on the other hand, says that it was not at all engaged in making profits from its tissue donation program, which is voluntary for women and supports important research.

The Center for Medical Progress is facing accusations from group officials for driving a misleading campaign to make anti-abortion agenda a success.

"When Governor Jindal and other politicians try to cut Planned Parenthood's funding to score political points, what they're actually doing is ensuring that some women's cancer will get worse before it's caught and that HIV and other infections will spread", said Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America.
