Planned Parenthood is suing the State of Texas in a fight to continue to receive Medicaid dollars. Officials for the state stopped the abortion provider from receiving these funds after numerous undercover videos showed Planned Parenthood officials discussing the sale of baby parts and tissue. The state’s halt of dollars includes millions in federal dollars it distributes, as well as hundreds of thousands of state dollars.

GOP 2016 candidates Gov. Mike Huckabee and Sen. Ted Cruz have dismissed Planned Parenthood’s announcement of its $20 million campaign against pro-life candidates as a notice coming from a group that “lies” and is lacking in “credibility.”

National pro-life leaders were quick to respond with distrust to Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards’s statement Tuesday that her abortion business would no longer accept payments for the body parts of aborted babies.

A bill in the Texas Legislature proposed by two pro-life state legislators would, under limited circumstances, provide for legal representation of an unborn child. The law would provide for the appointment of an ad litem attorney for an unborn child in the event the mother is declared brain dead.
