Anti-abortion group must pay $850,000 of Planned Parenthood's legal fees after being fined $110k

over noise volations

Feb. 3—An anti-abortion group must pay about $960,000 to Planned Parenthood of Greater Washington and North Idaho to cover legal fees and a fine for protests that interfered with patient care.

The Church at Planned Parenthood was ordered to pay $110,000 in civil damages to Planned Parenthood last month after a Spokane County judge ruled that the group interfered with patient care, violating state law.

The group was also required to pay Planned Parenthood's attorney fees. Those attorney fees total $850,000, according to Legal Voice and Planned Parenthood. That number was reached as part of a settlement between Planned Parenthood and the church's insurance company, Wendy Heipt with Legal Voice confirmed.

Litigation related to the civil case has been ongoing since 2020, with multiple law firms involved, Heipt said. The Church at Planned Parenthood was founded by Covenant Church, where former state Rep. Matt Shea was a pastor. Since then, Shea has split from co-founder Ken Peters, who now pastors Patriot Church. Shea leads On Fire Ministries in Spokane.

This is better than the retribution I usually wish on forced birthers.
