Hugh Culverhouse Donates $250,000 To Planned Parenthood Clinic

BIRMINGHAM, AL — After a fiasco with the University of Alabama School of Law that gained national attention, Hugh Culverhouse has donated $250,000 to Birmingham's Planned Parenthood clinic.

Planned Parenthood Southeast said Thursday that Hugh Culverhouse donated the large sum to support the relocation of its Birmingham location. Planned Parenthood is building a 10,000-square foot health clinic, according to a WBRC report.

Culverhouse, who had a $21 million donation to the UA law school returned by the school, publicly denounced the Alabama anti-abortion bill that passed earlier this year, Culverhouse claimed the reason for the school returning the donation was because of his opposition to the strict abortion ban by the legislature.

School officials said the donation was returned because of Culverhouse's demands and meddling within the law school's operations, and had noting to do with Culverhouse's opposition to the abortion bill.
