The following is from an August 3 press release:
August 3, 2015. BREAKING: Today, Governor Bobby Jindal announced the termination of the State of Louisiana’s Medicaid contract with Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast.
As explained in the Governor’s press release, the termination was based on the “at will” provision of the Medicaid Provider Agreement. This exercise of the “at will” contract provision seems to be a unique approach from other States who added abortion-free requirements as a condition for qualifying as a state-approved Medicaid provider. As explained in the Jindal press release:
“According to the Medicaid provider contract between DHH and Planned Parenthood, along with relevant Louisiana law, either party can choose to cancel the contract at will after providing written notice.”
The termination based on the “at will” provision follows on the heels of the horrifying videos revealing Planned Parenthood’s policy that allows its abortion providers to harvest the body parts of aborted unborn children. The press release referenced the videos and concluded that the State of Louisiana:
“decided to give the required 30-day notice to terminate the Planned Parenthood Medicaid provider contract because Planned Parenthood does not represent the values of the State of Louisiana in regards to respecting human life.”
The Jindal-ordered investigation into Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast is on-going, and the press release noted that the State reserves the right to amend the grounds of the cancellation notice by terminating the Medicaid provider agreement under the “for cause” provisions as well.
Currently, Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast operates two non-abortion providing family-planning clinics in New Orleans and Baton Rouge, and they are building a large regional center on Claiborne Avenue in New Orleans for the express purpose of selling elective abortion.
Governor Jindal concluded his press statement by noting that Planned Parenthood’s narrow provision of family-planning services are easily replaceable with the multitude of public, private and non-profit health centers that provide women’s health services along with comprehensive healthcare for women, men and children:
What a governor! What a Catholic! Compare this utterly brave man to the pompous and overfed Cardinal Dolan, a cowardly man who refuses to stand up and fight for his Faith; a man, whose mal-administration and failure to demand that the Faith be fully and accurately taught in his Archdiocese has lead to a savage closing of parishes, and crippling of Tradition.
And, C. Dolan has not said anything about the Supreme Court’s sodomite-loving decision, or about Planned Parenthood. He wants to get the good dinner invitations, you know.
Cardinal Dolan is to busy falling over laughing as in “every picture” we see of him, as he closed over 75 Roman Catholic parishes over the weekend does everybody get that 75!!!! Only 12% of Catholics in the Archdiocese of New York attend Holy Mass, meaning 88% of New York Catholics stay home on Sunday, and this is a Roman Catholic city. Bring back the Traditional Latin Mass and the sacraments and the pews will once again fill up, the people are hungry for the TLM, the day’s of felt banners, guitars, drums, altar girls, lay lectors, dancing girls in leotards, polka, rock music, polyester vestments, dinnner table in the middle, communion in the hand, giant puppets, are over, the Spirit of Vatican II was a total and utter disaster…
It will be lay Catholics like Governor Jindal who will save the Church, not our so called prelates they are the one’s who are helping to destroy what is left of any real Roman Catholicism.
Thank you Governor Jindal for your courage to stand up for what is truely right. God bless you!
God bless Governor Jindal for his courageous stand. He certainly gets an “A” in my book for fortitude and doing the right thing. Please God give us more politicians that do the right thing in spite of the persecution from others who want us to ignore this evil behavior.
