Protecting Sexual Predators
There are two legal cases against Planned Parenthood of Southwestern Ohio in Cincinnati
- The first for failing to notify a 14-year-old girl's parents and obtain their consent for an abortion given to her after she was impregnated by her 21-year-old soccer coach
- The second for failing to report suspicions of abuse to police when a young teen--a victim of incest at the hands of her father, impregnated by him, and taken to Planned Parenthood for an abortion--made statements indicating that she was sexually abused.
More instances across the nation
- In 2002, Life Dynamics did a three-year study of over 800 abortion centers in the United States. A woman posing as a minor impregnated by an adult called Planned Parenthood centers, gave them this information, and in all cases was assisted in some way to be able to obtain an abortion.
- In April 2007, law enforcement and Child Protection Services (CPS) in Kalamazoo, Michigan declined to investigate at least ten cases of possible child-rape unreported by a local Planned Parenthood. Michigan has similar reporting requirements as Ohio.
- In May 2007, a counselor at the UCLA student health center advised a pregnant student to have an abortion. The woman in the case, a pro-life student posing as a pregnant teenager, says Planned Parenthood advised her to disguise statutory rape. California also has similar reporting requirements as Ohio.
- In August 2007, a kidnapping and sexual abuse case occurred in Connecticut, where a 15-year-old teen was impregnated by a 41-year-old man then taken to Planned Parenthood for an abortion. Planned Parenthood did not report the possibility of sexual abuse, yet according to police reports, DNA taken from the dead unborn child matches the man's. Connecticut has similar reporting requirements as Ohio.
Targeting Minorities
- Planned Parenthood historically targeted minority populations for its services, including abortion, due originally to the eugenics philosophy of its founder Margaret Sanger. Recently, Planned Parenthood has been purchasing property in different areas of the country in areas with higher African American populations (Aurora, IN; Houston, TX; Portland, OR).
- In April of this year, phone recordings were released from a journalistic probe conducted by the pro-life student magazine, The Advocate, which had an actor pose as a racist donor and call Planned Parenthood of Central Ohio plus affiliates in Idaho, New Mexico, Oklahoma and other states in July 2007. The actor said he wanted his donation used to abort African American babies. Each branch agreed to process the earmarked donation. Click HERE to listen to one of the recorded phone conversations .
- This May, former Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell (R) sent a letter to House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) to request that Congressman Boehner launch a congressional investigation into Planned Parenthood's response to this racist request. Mr. Blackwell drew attention to Planned Parenthood's tax funding (the PPFA receives more than $300 million annually) and his hope that Congressman Boehner will agree that Planned PArenthood needs at minimum congressional investigation.
- Also in May, we learned that Planned Parenthood of Southwestern Ohio in Cincinnati has purchased property near Western Hills High School for an additional office. Planned Parenthood bought the property under the name Mount Auburn Parking LLC. Significantly, students are bussed to Western Hills High School from other areas of the city, and the student population is predominately African American. Within a few miles are also several large Catholic High Schools--Seton, Elder, and Mother of Mercy.
Harming Women
- On February 12, 2008, a woman filed a lawsuit against Planned Parenthood Metropolitan located in Washington, D.C. for damages suffered during an abortion procedure at a Planned Parenthood center.
Emma Jean Butler, mother of Shantese Butler, is suing Planned Parenthood for $50 million in damages. Butler took her daughter to the D.C. Planned Parenthood on September 7, 2006 to abort a child conceived in rape. During the abortion, Shantese sustained severe abdominal bleeding, severe vaginal injury, severe injury to the cervix, significant uterine perforation, and a small bowel tear. In addition, parts of the child were found inside Shantese's abdomen on September 8, 2006. Because of these injuries, Shantese will be infertile for the rest of her life.
