A huge lawsuit filed by a former top officially with Planned Parenthood’s California affiliate is continuing as the law firm representing him and his case concerning its massive Medicaid fraud is heading to an appeals court. . . .

Jay Sekulow, the chief counsel for the ACLJ, said the pro-life legal group filed an appeal on Monday in the case alleging that Planned Parenthood affiliates in California cheated the state and federal government out of hundreds of millions of dollars by illegally overcharging for birth control drugs and devices. . . .

“Planned Parenthood has a lot at stake and is not about to roll over,” Sekulow concluded. “A whistleblower could not possibly fight and win a case like this without major legal assistance.
