Judge Blocks Ohio from Action Against Planned Parenthood

HeadlineDec 15, 2015

A federal judge has blocked Ohio from taking legal action against Planned Parenthood after the Ohio attorney general accused clinics of improperly disposing of fetal remains in landfills. Planned Parenthood filed suit, calling the accusations “flat-out false” and accusing Ohio officials of trying to end abortion access. Ohio’s investigation of Planned Parenthood is part of the fallout from heavily edited anti-choice videos that showed Planned Parenthood officials discussing the donation of fetal tissue to medical researchers. Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine launched a four-month probe into Planned Parenthood, but, as in multiple other investigations, he found no evidence Planned Parenthood is profiting from tissue donations.
