(Worthy News) – Texas wants Planned Parenthood to give back millions of dollars in Medicaid reimbursements — and pay far more in fines on top of that — in a lawsuit that appears to be the first of its kind brought by a state against the largest abortion provider in the U.S.

Texas brought the lawsuit under the federal False Claims Act, which allows fines for every alleged improper payment. [ Source: CBN News (Read More…) ]
