Anti-abortion activists have asked the US Congress to suspend the US$300 million federal funding granted to Planned Parenthood until a case against the organisation in Kansas is settled.
Planned Parenthood, a non-profit organisation, is the largest provider of family planning and reproductive health services, including abortions, in the United States.
But Phill Kline, an anti-abortion Republican, has filed 107 charges against Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri, which provides services to Kansas and parts of the neighbouring state of Missouri.
Mr Kline, who was voted out of office as Kansas state attorney general, is now District Attorney for Johnson County, Kansas.
He claims that the Planned Parenthood Clinic in Overland Park, a suburb of Kansas City, performed late term abortions without determining whether the fetus could survive outside the womb.
He also charges the clinic with supplying false information, unlawful failure to maintain records, and unlawful failure to determine viability for a late term abortion.
Planned Parenthood denies performing any abortions beyond 22 weeks of pregnancy.
Roger Evans, its senior director for public policy, litigation, and law, told the BMJ that the charges were unclear It would take 30 or 40 days for the organisation to get all the details of the complaints, he added. The next hearing in the case is set for November 16.
Mr Evans said that Mr Kline had used his previous office to try to eliminate or reduce access to abortion.
While Kansas attorney general, he had requested clinic records from Planned Parenthood and a clinic operated by Dr George Tiller, one of the few US doctors to provide late term abortions.
Sexual activity under the age of 16 is considered rape or child abuse under Kansas law. And Mr Kline wanted to find out whether women under this age had received contraceptive services
After legal proceedings, Planned Parenthood released some records, but without the identifying information. Mr Evans said that the new state attorney general, Paul Morrison, had issued a statement saying there was nothing wrong with Planned Parenthood's operation.
The US Supreme Court rule in 1973 in Roe vs Wade that abortion was legal, but since then Supreme Court rulings have only narrowly upheld it.
