Planned Parenthood Heads to Federal Court to Fight Utah Governor

Planned Parenthood has gone to federal court to fight the Governor of Utah.

FOX’s Jessica Rosenthal reports:

The Utah governor ordered state agencies to stop dispersing federal money to Planned Parenthood.

Gary Herbert said he was uncomfortable with the videos that leaked on which Planned Parenthood officials were discussing fetal tissue from abortions.

Peggy Tomsic is representing Planned Parenthood:

(Tomsic) “‘There’s a constitutional right under the 1st Amendment to advocate for abortion. There’s a constitutional right to associate with others who advocate for abortion.”

However, she says that it’s against the law for federal funds to go toward abortion and that money that was cut off goes to things like abstinence education and STD testing. She argued before the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals Tuesday to have the governor’s order reversed.
