"A 23-page memo from the Susan B. Anthony List and the Alliance Defense Fund outlines what those groups' leaders say are a series of funding irregularities uncovered in various state and federal audits of Planned Parenthood affiliates.

"These problems reveal a pattern of gross financial mismanagement," said Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of SBA List.

Steven Aden, the Alliance Defense Fund's senior counsel, added, "The 10 state audits amounted to nearly 8 million dollars in waste, abuse and potential fraud."

Planned Parenthood, however, brushed off the accusations. "This document is part of a campaign by conservative groups seeking to outlaw access to reproductive health care and uses recycled or overstated allegations," the organization said in a statement."
