Resource: The Facts on United States ex rel. Doe v. Planned Parenthood Federation of America, the Meritless Case that Could Shut Down Planned Parenthood

In United States ex rel. Doe v. Planned Parenthood Federation of America, the state of Texas and an anonymous plaintiff are suing Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) and the three Planned Parenthood affiliates that provide vital sexual and reproductive health care — including birth control, life-saving cancer screenings, STI testing and treatment — in Texas and Louisiana, falsely alleging Planned Parenthood violated the False Claims Act. Planned Parenthood did not commit Medicaid fraud. It is a baseless and politically motivated lawsuit that is before Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, a Trump-appointed federal judge who recently ruled to end FDA approval of mifepristone, a safe and effective medication which has been used for more than two decades in more than 5 million medication abortions in the United States.
