COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 14 (UPI) -- Planned Parenthood filed a federal lawsuit on Sunday to forestall a likely legal injunction by Ohio's Attorney General over handling of fetal tissue.
Attorney General Mike DeWine said Friday an investigation revealed Planned Parenthood "disposed of aborted fetuses from an abortion by sending them to a landfill," calling the alleged practice "callous and completely inhumane" and a violation of the state's Administrative Code. Planned Parenthood immediately denied the claim; a statement Sunday said DeWine's accusations were "absolutely not true" and noted they were made at a press conference and not "through formal communication with the (Ohio) Department of Health."
