Management for the University of Louisville hospital decided to cancel a pending agreement with Planned Parenthood. The agreement would have provided services to Planned Parenthood patients with abortion complications.
The administration cited “outside pressures” and possible loss of public funding as deciding factors to rescind the agreement. Planned Parenthood has been tangled in politics since Governor Matt Bevin cited the clinic for providing abortions it deemed illegal. Bevin’s administration claimed the clinic knowingly failed to provide the correct paperwork that guaranteed the safety of it’s abortion patients.
