If I told you that Hillary Clinton would always have Brock Turner’s back… or Jerry Sandusky’s back… would you cheer? How about if I told you that she will always have Planned Parenthood’s back? Because that’s what she just said. Planned Parenthood has a free ticket from the potential president no matter what it has done or will do in the future. When Brock Turner raped an unconscious woman, the entire country rushed to condemn him, then to condemn his parents who tried to defend his character, then the judge who gave him a lenient sentence, then a friend who tried to stand up for him amidst the furor, then the friend’s band which lost gigs due to its association with her. When Jerry Sandusky was accused of raping boys, the entire country rushed to condemn him, to condemn the witness who didn’t do more than report a possible crime, then Joe Paterno for not doing more than reporting the witness’ story to his supervisor and the police chief, then the supervisor, the police chief, and the president for not investigating further, then the football program because it was seen as a possible reason for not investigating, then the athletes, because they were part of the program, then the whole Penn State community for defending Joe Paterno, who died before he could defend himself. Most people don’t know that the particular incident reported by Paterno was not one for which Sandusky was ultimately convicted, but the outrage continues today for anyone even remotely associated with Sandusky because he raped boys. Our outrage over rape, leniency for rapists, or possible cover-up of rape can never be too great.
That brings me to Planned Parenthood. On NUMEROUS occasions Planned Parenthood has failed to report the rape of young girls. Reporting suspicion of these heinous crimes is required by law for health care providers, and is required by conscience for all decent human beings. In several instances Planned Parenthood performed abortions for money (PP is a business after all) then returned these innocent, violated children into the hands of their rapists to be raped for months or years until in some cases Planned Parenthood had a second opportunity to help these poor girls and again did nothing. Actually, Planned Parenthood did worse than nothing and treated these ravaged, defenseless children as satisfied return customers, providing them with their second abortions and even providing long acting birth control (for a fee, because PP is a business.) Then Planned Parenthood returned them to their rapists again until somebody else finally caught them. Here are some summaries of cases that eventually made it to criminal court in spite of Planned Parenthood’s illegal, immoral protection of the rapists. The rapists were sent to jail. Planned Parenthood, who facilitated and covered up for the rapists, quietly settled any civil cases against it with its immense financial resources. Read these cases if you care about women and young girls. I will show you the first two:
A Planned Parenthood affiliate in Mobile, Alabama failed to properly report the suspected sexual abuse of a 14-year-old girl. The girl was a mother of two and received two abortions from the clinic within a 6-month time frame.
A 12-year-old girl in foster care was impregnated by her 23-year-old foster brother. He took the girl to Planned Parenthood of Central and Northern Arizona for an abortion. Planned Parenthood failed to report the abuse, which continued, until six months later, after he brought the girl back to Planned Parenthood for another abortion.
Why are we not outraged?? Why are there no indictments for these criminal acts? The reasons are clear. Planned Parenthood has wisely politicized its position. It has donated to the political campaigns of its allies and against those who fail to give it unconditional support. It gives out report cards to ensure complete support for all its desired legislation, much of which is aimed at preventing any future culpability for crimes. If there are no inspections, there can be no violations, if there is no need to report statutory rape or suspected child abuse there can be no criminal negligence, if abortion is allowed at any time for any reason then there can be no accusations of breaking any laws, because there are no laws. Planned Parenthood recently backed a bill to prevent undercover investigations of its clinics, probably because it has been ‘stung’ numerous times for assisting sex traffickers, giving dangerous and illegal ‘sex education’ advice, assisting with sex selection abortion, accepting race targeted donations, and of course recently being filmed discussing how abortion procedures could be changed and profits made (for a Lamborghini or to offset costs) by donating/selling fetal tissue. One undercover investigation gave video evidence of Planned Parenthood’s willingness to break laws to cover up child sexual abuse of a 13 year old by a 31 year old. Here’s the first of eight undercover videos. http://liveaction.org/monalisa/bloomington-in/
Planned Parenthood and its supporters, assisted by a high-priced PR firm, have used rhetoric to suggest that any ‘attack’ on Planned Parenthood’s crimes, real crimes might lead to attacks on Planned Parenthood clinics or abortionists, so these crimes should be, must be, ignored. Compare this to the Brock Turner case, where arguments by his father that jail could be a death sentence or by the judge that a long jail sentence might cause him harm were met with derision because he committed an abominable crime- he raped a woman. For the record, Planned Parenthood’s recent campaign to put a positive spin on the abortion experience (# shout your abortion) could just as easily be seen as responsible for violence against women who refuse to have an abortion. There are numerous cases of women being threatened, beaten, or murdered for refusing to abort. Here’s one of the more recent murders. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/05/18/pregnant-woman-executed-because-she-refused-an-abortion-family-says/
I have numerous reasons why I believe that Planned Parenthood is bad for women, some of which I have written about previously, but the top of my list is Planned Parenthood’s callous disregard for child rape victims. You can Google the cases above and find the actual evidence and you will be as horrified as I am. The short summaries are true and provide sufficient reason for the Planned Parenthood Federation to be defunded, disbanded, and prosecuted for crimes committed. The financial and political power it has acquired makes it above the law and a danger to women even, especially really, women who support abortion. I would never recommend going to Planned Parenthood for any reason. Many of its clinics are never inspected, while others have been cited for numerous dangerous violations. Many of its physicians are doctors who previously lost their licenses to practice. And do you really want to support an organization that assists and covers up for child rapists?
I know the catch…if you’re liberal, progressive, or a Democrat you believe that Planned Parenthood is your ‘baby,’ and must be protected from conservatives, Republicans, or Christians trying to abort it. You are afraid that defunding Planned Parenthood might tip the 50-50 balance for abortion rights or the 50-50 balance in some political races. Please don’t let these fears make you feel that you have no choice. These fears are the reasons health care organizations should never be politicized. A corrupt business enterprise like Planned Parenthood should not be the face of women’s health, or of the Democratic Party, or even of abortion rights. We can evolve on this in a way that protects both choice and women’s health, but only after we remove the incredible financial and political power from this despicable supporter of child rape.
