Ricketts (R-NEBR) asked state health officials to investigate Planned Parenthood clinics

Source: Omaha World Herald

By Martha Stoddard

LINCOLN — Gov. Pete Ricketts asked state health officials to investigate Nebraska’s Planned Parenthood clinics following the release of controversial undercover videos.

The governor’s press secretary on Monday confirmed Ricketts’ role in launching the inspections of the Lincoln and Omaha clinics, which took place in late August.

Health officials uncovered one violation at each clinic: late filing of the monthly statistical reports about abortions performed at the clinics. The reports feed into an annual report published by the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services.

Angie Remington, a spokeswoman for the Des Moines-based Planned Parenthood of the Heartland, which operates the Lincoln and Omaha clinics, said clinic staff were told that the inspection was a routine one, conducted every five years.

(And I don't get how someone can be both anti-abortion and pro death penalty.)

Seventh Day Adventist hospitals that do abortions? Like cut their Medicaid reinbursements and shut them down?

Why don't they go after Israel and the 3 billion we give them? They do around 10,000 legal, state paid for abortions and another 10,000 illegal ones(only 200 doctors that do the illegal ones are charged)?

It's only PP that they scream about and kill doctors over.
