Planned Parenthood is facing a potentially devastating Medicaid fraud case that could leave it with a bill of up to $1.8 billion.
Oral arguments for US ex rel. Doe v. Planned Parenthood were made in court on September 25, 2025, but this case has been brewing for a decade. In 2015, pro-life activist David Daleiden exposed Planned Parenthood’s baby body parts business. His 30-month investigation captured top PP employees discussing which aborted baby body parts were in demand, how they could obtain them, and what they wanted in compensation.
The public was rightfully horrified. As PP and its powerful allies (including Kamala Harris—California’s attorney general at the time) began damage control, Texas and Louisiana barred the abortion organization from receiving Medicaid reimbursements.
Planned Parenthood sued the states and won an initial injunction that allowed it to continue receiving reimbursements. While the case was in litigation, PP continued collecting Medicaid repayments, even though it knew that it would have to return the funds if the decision were reversed on appeal. And that’s exactly what happened.
Now, an anonymous person is suing PP for these taxpayer funds on behalf of Louisiana and Texas. The abortion giant claims that it has immunity from the repayments because it was only following its legal team’s advice. The US Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit will decide if that defense holds.
If Planned Parenthood is found liable, it could owe up to three times the amount of actual damages, plus penalties, legal fees, and interest—an amount totaling up to $1.8 billion.
After decades of unchecked destruction, Planned Parenthood may finally get its due. We pray that this lawsuit will be the final nail in its bloody coffin.
