Sandra Merritt’s undercover videos caught Planned Parenthood and organ procurement companies red handed in the harvesting of baby organs. As a result, states across the country moved to forbid any taxpayer dollars from flowing to these death-dealers.  

But Planned Parenthood believes taxpayers should continue paying for their gruesome, despicable activities — even in states where abortion has been banned and/or heavily restricted. So, the abortion giant is SUING states to FORCE them into funding Planned Parenthood’s killing machines.  

TODAY, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments and consider our powerful amicus brief to determine if states have the right to withhold taxpayer dollars from companies with a history of breaking the law. Our brief overviews the shocking videos obtained by our client, Sandra Merritt. South Carolina was absolutely correct in determining that Planned Parenthood should not obtain taxpayer funds.

Within this union of the United States, each individual state has an obligation to protect consumers from companies that have a history of engaging in unethical and illegal practices.  

Not only must each state protect the consumer from harm, consistent with obligations under state and federal law, but states also have a responsibility to ensure that taxpayer dollars are not funneled to repeat offenders and bad actors.

Our client Sandra Merritt’s undercover videos exposed shocking abuses against women and children and clear violations of multiple state and federal laws. Shortly after the public release of Sandra’s videos, many states — including South Carolina — did their civic and lawful duty to stop giving taxpayer dollars to the companies (namely Planned Parenthood) that had been shown to have violated these laws.

Over 30% of Planned Parenthood’s 2.1-billion-dollar annual budget comes from U.S. taxpayers.

Now Planned Parenthood is using that money to SUE for MORE!

Planned Parenthood is using those hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to SUE states into giving them even more taxpayer dollars.

People should have a say in how their tax dollars are directed. That “say” often comes at the voting booth, where voters elect representatives to manage taxpayer expenditures.  

The good people of South Carolina elected officials to enact a Heartbeat Law, which protects unborn children from abortion after 6 weeks, and to defund Planned Parenthood, as a result of the abortion giant’s documented crimes.

But Planned Parenthood apparently doesn’t believe in democracy — they believe in FORCE. Planned Parenthood doesn’t care what the people or the politicians want. Planned Parenthood just wants our money — and they are using the money we already gave them in order to sue for more money.

It’s outrageous, and our powerful brief is designed to stop this gross abuse of citizen resources and save young lives in the process.
