As a lawsuit implicating Planned Parenthood in Medicaid fraud works it’s way through court, a new lawsuit has emerged accusing a State of illegally using taxpayer money to fund elective abortions.
Alliance Defending Freedom claims in a lawsuit filed Tuesday that Minnesota taxpayers have been wrongfully charged for more than 37,000 elective abortions for indigent women since 1999.
Steven Aden, senior counsel with the Alliance Defending Freedom, said the numbers cited in the lawsuit represent the “best assessment” the group could make based on the statistics available. He said a fuller picture of the “illegitimate public funding of elective abortions” will emerge as the case proceeds.
