Judge: Oklahoma can end Planned Parenthood deals
In his ruling, Friot wrote that while Planned Parenthood’s performance deficiencies, primarily its declining caseloads, do not appear to be enough to result in the termination of its contracts, he added: ‘‘But a routine, solvable problem can become a justifiable basis for strong action when it is compounded by persistent unresponsiveness in addressing the challenge. Moreover, the frustrations in getting information out of (Planned Parenthood) on what should have been routine administrative matters rubbed additional salt into the wound.’’
