WASHINGTON – As Congress gears up for a fresh investigation into the practices at Planned Parenthood clinics around the nation, Susan Thayer awaits a court decision on her fraud lawsuit against the nonprofit women's health-care organization's Iowa branch.
Thayer's case, stemming from her more than 17 years as a clinic manager for the organization in Storm Lake, Iowa, claims Planned Parenthood of the Heartland routinely overcharged government programs for birth-control pills and medical procedures. She asserts the activities defrauded government entities to the tune of $28 million in the federal whistleblower lawsuit.
BOSTON – Northeastern University undergraduate Keely Mullen, the social-justice activist who spearheaded a series of marches Wednesday as part of a movement demanding free public college education, cancellation of student debt and a $15 minimum wage for all campus workers, told Fox News in an interview that "America's 1 percent" should fund the students' demands.
The interview with host Neil Cavuto came as more than 200 students at the University of Massachusetts – Amherst rallied as part of Thursday's "Million Student March" at the school's Student Union, according to the Springfield-based news site MassLive.
