Since some of you don't know much about Planned Parenthood...

then you probably think that Planned Parenthood is "a cool place where teens can just, ya know, hang out!" Far from the truth. Check out the many resources below, which took me about 2 minutes to dig up. So this is just scraping the surface. I highly recommend watching the videos below, exposing over 700 clinics across the country breaking the law on a daily basis.

Where should these girls go instead? I hear that the LDS Family Services offers great service.



"Planned Parenthood receives millions of dollars every year and is slated for a multi-million dollar bailout in pending legislation, but is held grossly unaccountable for how those dollars are spent. The group's President, Cecile Richards, makes close to a million dollar salary--thanks in part to our taxpayer dollars. While Planned Parenthood lives in luxury, the government lives in denial.

Just yesterday, Live Action released another video implicating Planned Parenthood in a third statutory rape cover-up. Since 2007, nearly a dozen clinic employees from various states have been caught on tape violating federal reporting laws or encouraging racially-motivated donations. If Congress insists on funding Planned Parenthood, shouldn't it be required to follow the law?"

"Abortion has more than its share of moral complexities, but a panel of experts at FRC headquarters today showed that it poses an especially dangerous threat to women's mental health. To a capacity crowd, experts and clinicians did what the American Psychological Association refused to do in its latest report on abortion and mental health: told the truth-the whole truth-about the relationship between abortion and depression, anxiety disorders, suicide, and substance abuse. The prevalence of these symptoms among the 30 million women who have had the procedure is climbing at an alarming rate. While the research has yet to give pro-abortion leaders pause, the American people are taking the harmful effects of abortion very seriously. In a blockbuster poll released at today's lecture, the Elliot Institute found that 85 percent of American adults believe that "significant emotional problems" after an abortion are "common" or "very common." Only 15 percent of the people surveyed believe that abortion generally makes women's lives better. Seventy-one percent of participants across the ideological spectrum said that conducting research on these post-abortion complications should be a moderate to high priority. David Reardon, director of the Elliot Institute, hinted at the policy implications of the study. "Politicians who ignore the issue of post-abortion complications are ignoring an important concern of the American people." Of equal concern to pro-lifers is that millions of these women are suffering at the hands of government-funded organizations like Planned Parenthood."

Personnel from Life Dynamics, based out of Texas, where secret recording of telephone conversations is legal, called 800 abortion clinics around the nation using the following scenario. The caller claiming to be a 13-year old girl who was pregnant by her 22-year old "boyfriend" asked the clinics if they did abortions. The information the girl gave indicated obvious evidence of child abuse, since the caller was a minor and the "boyfriend" was an adult. However, in over 90% of the calls, abortion clinics around the country counseled the girl not to mention the "boyfriend's" age or bring him to the abortion clinic. Here is the content of some of the calls:

Girl: "It's just we don't want a whole lot of people to know about us. Would he have to sign anything?"
Planned Parenthood: "yeah, but I just...don't, don't talk about his age."

Planned Parenthood: "When you go to Norwich, you're going to want to give them a call. Don't tell them that information."
Girl: "then it will be okay?"
Planned Parenthood: "If you do not say the age of your partner."
Girl: "okay."
Planned Parenthood: "Okay, otherwise there's going to be a lot of stuff going on that you're probably not going to want to have happen."

Girl: "They won't ask anything about him?"
Planned Parenthood: "I’m not going to...I’m going to pretend I didn't hear that, okay?"
Girl: "okay."
Planned Parenthood: "don't even bring that up, okay."
Girl: "even if he's taking me there?"
Planned Parenthood: "no, no, don't even go there, don't even bring it up.""

This is multiple taped conversations from Planned Parenthood, breaking the law several times...

And another case of breaking the law...

I had no idea they were so shady. And they sound like normal people. It's so sad. Those poor girls have no direction to do the right thing. I'll have to find our local office. Thanks for opening my eyes.

I think it's funny that none of your nay-sayers have commented on this post. Ahhh, the agony of defeat! It's hard to argue with the facts, once someone actually shows them to you, isn't it??

This organization is atrocious, and now our President is all for supporting them and their wicked ideals.
