Gov. Robert Bentley announced in a letter to Staci Fox, the CEO of Planned Parenthood Southeast, that the state is "exercising its ability to terminate the existing agreement" with the agency "with 15 days written notice."
“The deplorable practices at Planned Parenthood have been exposed to Americans, and I have decided to stop any association with the organization in Alabama,” Bentley, a Republican, said in a statement. “As a doctor and Alabama’s Governor, the issue of human life, from conception to birth and beyond, is extremely important to me. I respect human life, and I do not want Alabama to be associated with an organization that does not." |
