Lila Rose: What you are about to see is a series of real cases recorded in articles
and lawsuits of sexual abuse cover up at Planned Parenthood.
They include civil lawsuits, criminal cases, and health department reports.
These stories are tragic and heartbreaking, but what is even more devastating is that
they show a systemic pattern of behavior at Planned Parenthood, who claims that sexual
assault victims come to its facilities on a daily basis.
Cecile Richards: We see this at Planned Parenthood every day.
We treat women who are survivors of sexual assault, of domestic violence.
This is not a new issue, I think what's new is finally people are talking about it out
in the open.
Lila Rose: The following is how Planned Parenthood treats these sexual abuse victims.
Narration: Washington state, 2017, George Savanah repeatedly raped his daughter and
impregnated her when she was 14, 16, and 17 years old.
Each time she became pregnant, he took her to Planned Parenthood and forced her to get
an abortion to cover up his crimes.
One reason Savanah was able to get away with his sexual abuse is because Planned Parenthood
repeatedly failed to report the suspicious incidents to authorities.
After her abortions at Planned Parenthood, Savanah continued to rape her several times
a week for seven horrific years.
Colorado, 2012, a 13 year old girl became pregnant by her stepfather, Timothy David
Smith, who had been sexually abusing her for seven years.
He brought her to Planned Parenthood to cover up his crime.
Not one of the four staffers she interacted with bothered to inquire about the circumstances
of her pregnancy, or even verified her relationship with Smith.
One employee even admitted in a deposition that quote “being 13 and pregnant alone
is not a red flag” for them of possible abuse.
Ohio, 2004.
A 14 year old girl was driven to Planned Parenthood by her 21 year old soccer coach John Haller,
who got her pregnant and sought an abortion.
Haller then passed himself off as the girl’s stepbrother in order to pay for the abortion.
The girl’s parents sued Planned Parenthood for failing to obtain parental consent, failing
to give informed consent to their daughter, and failing to report suspected abuse.
Arizona, 2002, the court found Planned Parenthood negligent for failing to report an abortion
performed on a 12-year-old child in foster care, who had been sexually abused by her
23 year old foster brother.
Planned Parenthood did not notify Child Protective Services nor the girl's foster parents.
The failure to report led to six more months of sexual abuse, resulting in a second abortion
at Planned Parenthood.
California, 2010, Edgar Ramirez raped his 13-year-old daughter and then brought her
to Planned Parenthood for an abortion.
Rather than reporting possible abuse because a 13-year-old was involved, the abortionist
simply advised the victim not to have sex for three weeks after her abortion.
After a few more months, Ramirez got his daughter pregnant again and took her to Planned Parenthood
for another abortion, after which the abortionist implanted an IUD to prevent additional pregnancies.
But again, there was no indication that Planned Parenthood reported any suspicion of abuse
to authorities.
Ohio, 2004, 16 year old Denise arrived at a Planned Parenthood facility, pregnant by
her own father, who had been forcing her to share his bed for three years.
Denise told the Planned Parenthood staff about the rape, but they ignored her pleas for help
and refused to comply with Ohio’s mandatory reporting law.
They gave her the abortion and sent her back into her abusive situation.
Arizona, 2014, A Planned Parenthood counselor intentionally miscoded a sexual assault as
a consensual encounter to avoid the “hassle” of reporting it to authorities, months before
other victims of the same sexual predator came forward.
In 2013, Pennsylvania Department of Health inspectors conducted an annual survey of a
Philadelphia Planned Parenthood and discovered that despite the fact that some girls it saw
admitted to being sexually active since the ages of 11 and 12, in at least six instances,
Planned Parenthood did not inquire about the possibility of sexual abuse, nor did staff
report the cases to authorities, as required by law.
