Hawley demands Mehmet Oz launch investigation of abortionists
By WND Staff
Sen. Josh Hawley is calling for the federal Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, through its chief, Mehmet Oz, to investigate the abortionists of Planned Parenthood for allegedly giving “gender transition” drugs to minors and getting paid with Medicare and Medicaid money.
A report in the Washington Stand explained the demand is for an investigation into “the nation’s large abortion profiteer.”

Hawley’s recent letter cites the work by Oz, on a team with Vice President JD Vance, on the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud.
“I appreciate your focus on combatting fraud in our nation’s healthcare programs and ensuring that taxpayer dollars are being used for their lawful, intended purposes,” Hawley explained in his letter, asking Oz to review the abortion industry giant’s “role in pushing transgender madness onto minor children.”
Between just 2019 and 2021, Planned Parenthood took some $1.5 billion from Medicare and Medicaid coffers.
“In other words, billions of taxpayer dollars have been taken from those in poverty and the elderly and given to Planned Parenthood,” the senator explained. “Moreover, these funds apparently have been used to prop up Planned Parenthood’s provision of transgender procedures to children.”
Planned Parenthood biggest industry venture is its abortion business.
But it also has moved in recent years into handing out chemicals so children can be “transgender,” a misnomer as changing genders scientifically doesn’t happen.
Hawley said the industry player has prescribed gender transition drugs to children during children’s first appointments, without “any medical documentation whatsoever.”
“I am concerned that critical healthcare dollars are flowing to an organization that promotes transgender treatments on minors,” the senator wrote.
He told Oz, “In the absence of congressional action, you have an opportunity to expand your fraud investigation by probing Planned Parenthood’s compliance with applicable laws and regulations.”
He explained, “The organization’s transgender activities appear at the least to subvert Congress’s intent to direct Medicaid and Medicare funds to basic healthcare needs.”
The Department of Justice in recent days has confirmed settlements with two major children’s hospitals that had been caught up in the “transgender” industry.
Both the Cleveland Clinic and the Texas Children’s Hospital admitted to fraudulently billing Medicare and Medicaid for medical procedures that were never performed, instead conducting gender transition procedures on children, which President Donald Trump ordered last year could no longer be eligible for Medicare or Medicaid reimbursement, the report said.

Badenoch blasts 'moaning' female Labour MPs over Burnham jobs 'quota'
Kemi Badenoch has told Labour women to earn a job in Andy Burnham's Cabinet instead of demanding they are handed jobs because of their gender.
The Tory leader lashed out today amid reports that female MPs are demanding the de-facto new prime minister introduce a 50:50 gender split 'quota' in his government.
Amid reports that former foreign secretary David Miliband is being lined up to return to the role, possibly with his brother Ed as Chancellor, one female minister also complained that Burnham could not have 'more Milibands than women' in the top posts.
But in a scathing article in the Times today Mrs Badenoch told them to 'stop moaning' and get chosen on merit instead of retreating into 'more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country'.
'There are many, many reasons why you shouldn't have any Milibands in the cabinet,' she said.
'But complaining that the boys haven't given them the right jobs or that the boys are taking all the jobs, just shows that Labour's women still don't get it.'
The idea of quotas was also attacked by Baroness Jacqui Smith, Labour's Skills Minister.
Asked by Times Radio if Mr Burnham should reserve jobs for women, she said: 'No, I think what Andy Burnham should be doing is building the very best team around him to change this country.'

But Mrs Badenoch told them to pipe down and get chosen on merit instead of retreating into 'more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country'
A letter written by the Women's Parliamentary Labour Party and seen by the BBC has called on Mr Burnham to ensure a 50:50 split between men and women in government jobs after he succeeds Sir Keir Starmer.
'We are asking you to demonstrate this change from day one and address the toxicity and misogyny within our own party and government,' it said.
Labour has never had a female leader, while the Conservatives have had three, and Mrs Badenoch urged the government to follow its meritocratic example.
'If you run a meritocracy, then you do not have to worry about jobs for the boys,' she wrote.
'Every woman who is a Conservative MP, every woman who has ever won the leadership, has had to fight to get where she is.
'By contrast, Labour women are demanding guarantees from Burnham. But the truth is he doesn't have to give any guarantees.
'If none of Labour's women are prepared to get their hands dirty and challenge him for the leadership, their demands are toothless.'
'In fact, it's quite revealing that the women's parliamentary Labour Party has written to Burnham asking him to commit himself to at least 50 per cent female ministers.
'This has nothing to do with meritocracy. It is yet more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country.'
