Welcome to

A conservative group that had supported the Governor in the past is now on the verge of turning on him over Planned Parenthood.  As Matt Galka tells us, the group is demanding that the Governor defund the program.

A Governor ordered investigation into Planned Parenthood clinics in the state was not enough according to the Florida Family Policy Council.

“We’re asking him to lead, and we’re asking him to lead on an issue other than just jobs,” said FFPC President John Stemberger.

Stemberger says they’re demanding the Governor take action and defund the program in the state following allegations of fetal organ sales.  He says it’s part of Rick Scott’s promise to voters.

“In both his Gubenatorial campaigns, Governor Scott said that if he was elected he’d be a pro-life Governor. We believe this is what a pro-life Governor could do and should do,” he said.

While Planned Parenthood does receive taxpayer money, state funds aren’t used for abortion procedures.

The group acknowledged that the money isn’t used for abortions, but wants to see Planned Parenthood’s contract with Medicaid end.

“We are talking about funding a corrupt organization that does abortions. We’re not going to say “oh well look, we’re no longer fund the extermination of the jews, but think the third reich has some really good programs for women so we’re just going to keep their lights on,” said Stemberger.

Planned Parenthood spokesman Damien Filer called the continued attacks baseless.

“We haven’t broken any rules, we’ve been following the same rules that were put in place 9 years ago,” he said.

Investigations into Planned Parenthood clinics around the state found no evidence of fetal organ sales.

The Governor’s office responded in a statement saying, in part, “We took aggressive, immediate action to investigate Planned Parenthood offices in Florida when the horrific videos were released.  When we found that some of their facilities were not complying with state law, we held them accountable.”.
