Statement

Date: Oct. 28, 2015
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Abortion Federal, State and Local Relations

Congressman Mike Rogers made the following statement today after a Federal judge in Alabama ruled the state must restore their Medicaid payments to Planned Parenthood despite their recent barbaric abortion procedures to obtain body parts for money was discussed on video.

"I was very disappointed today to hear the Federal judge's ruling in favor of restoring state funding to Planned Parenthood. I remain shocked and disgusted by the content on the videos and believe it should be up to states to decide if funding should go to providers who offer abortions. That is why I am a strong supporter of H.R. 3495, legislation that would put the states in charge, not Planned Parenthood. I will continue to fight for the rights of the unborn."
