Inside Conservative Activist Leonard Leo’s Long Campaign To Gut Planned Parenthood

A federal lawsuit in Texas against Planned Parenthood has links to conservative activist Leonard Leo. The suit claims the organization defrauded Texas and Louisiana Medicaid programs by collecting $17 million while fighting to remain an approved provider. It seeks $1.8 billion in penalties. The lawsuit is part of a larger effort by anti-abortion groups and politicians to hurt Planned Parenthood, which provides sexual and reproductive healthcare at nearly 600 sites nationwide. The clinics being sued do not provide abortions.
