THE WEDNESDAY STOPP REPORT

Planned Parenthood hurts child, deceives parents and protects rapist in California

Just last week, Planned Parenthood Golden Gate in San Francisco proudly put on its web site a testimonial written by one of its young customers. Here is its full text (all spelling and punctuation errors are in the original):

I was raped at 11, by my 17 year old boyfriend. I chose not to tell my parents because I didn't think their involvement would help, that was the right choice for me. Planned Parethood helped me deal with the aftermath of the rape allowing me to deal and cope as best as I could in my own way. I was 14 when I decided to start having sex, the day I made that choice I made an appointment to get birth control pills. I'm 17 now, I've been with my current boyfriend for about two years. During that time i've been HIV and STD tested four times. Right now I'm sitting in the waiting room while my boyfriend gets the results for his HIV test. We love each other so we're responsible and Planned Parenthood helps us to do that.

Can you imagine Planned Parenthood bragging about the fact that they concealed the rape of an 11-year-old girl from her parents? Can you imagine the trauma this young girl went through and yet her parents had no clue about what was bothering her? Can you believe that neither the girl nor Planned Parenthood makes any mention of police involvement, so we are left to conclude that nobody notified the police of this crime against a child? Surely, if the police had been notified, the parents would have been informed.

The result of all this "help" by Planned Parenthood is that the girl goes full swing into a sexual life style three years later, becomes a customer of Planned Parenthood and she is always worried about STDs and HIV. And she isn't even out of high school yet. And, by the way, the rapist is still on the street probably preying on other innocent young girls.

As soon as we became aware of this testimonial, STOPP did press releases and alerted the media. We were quoted in dozens of Christian news stories and even given as a reference on the story by the Drudge Report. We gave radio interviews and did everything we could to call attention to this outrage.

And what was Planned Parenthood's response? It quickly took the testimonial off its website and said nothing. Nothing. No defense of its actions. Just another day at the office and, oops, I guess we shouldn't have told the world how we hurt children, deceive parents and protect rapists.

Planned Parenthood kills baby, hurts child and protects rapist in Oregon

Just a few days after the episode with Planned Parenthood Golden Gate, we became aware of a testimonial on the web site of Planned Parenthood Health Services of Southwestern Oregon. This one read:

I was raped at 11 years of age, became pregnant and was able to have an abortion with my parent's consent through Planned Parenthood. Thank you for being there for me throughout the years.

— Grants Pass Clinic Client

Here is another Planned Parenthood in another state dealing with another 11-year-old rape victim. This time, it appears the girl's parents were involved. This time the girl became pregnant as the result of the rape and Planned Parenthood inflicted capital punishment on the child.

Once again, there is no indication that Planned Parenthood notified authorities, as required by law.

What you can do

There are several things you can do to call Planned Parenthood into the light.

• Monitor your local PP web site and report to us (stopp@all.org) any testimonials that contain information on PP providing services to underage girls.
• Educate your friends, family and local community on how PP preys on young girls and apparently protects rapists.
• Get information from Life Dynamics Incorporated on its investigation of PP. Most likely, Life Dynamics called your local PP in its Child Predator Project and you can obtain tapes to use in educating your community and alerting law enforcement. See: www.childpredators.com

Research help available

A few weeks ago, STOPP mentioned the work of a researcher who would investigate local Planned Parenthood affiliates for a reasonable fee.

To date, several groups have made use of his services. He has uncovered the identity of four abortionists working at one PP affiliate's killing centers in New York. He has also obtained data showing that Planned Parenthood officials whose 30 facilities he has investigated so far (in New York, California, two Midwestern states, and another East Coast state) have made almost ZERO reports of suspected underage girl victims of sexual predators despite seeing thousands of underage girls.

This work, when turned over to prosecutors and civil attorneys, can lead to fines and arrests of Planned Parenthood officials.

If you would like to engage this researcher to checkout PP reporting of suspected child abuse in your town, just send an e-mail to stopp@all.org and put "research" in the subject line. We will put you in touch with the researcher.

Planned Parenthood blasphemes Christmas with 'Choice on Earth' holiday cards

They're at it again. Despite having made efforts earlier this year to position itself as an organization supporting Christian principles, Planned Parenthood has once again chosen to offend Christians by selling its distasteful 'Choice on Earth' cards. The cards are offered for sale on Planned Parenthood's web site with a sales pitch that reads: "Tis the season to share with family, friends, colleagues, and loved ones the messages of 'Choice on Earth' or 'Peace Hope Justice.' Place your orders now for the 2005 Holiday Card."

To Planned Parenthood, "choice" is synonymous with abortion. Some misguided clerics within the Planned Parenthood realm may actually think that killing very young, innocent babies is okay with God, but this idea is anathema to most Christians.

This is not the first year Planned Parenthood has sold the cards, but in a year where tens of thousands of individuals have lost their lives in natural disasters around the world, and we passed the 2,000 mark for troops that have been killed in Iraq and the 1,000 mark for those that have died through capital punishment, it is particularly egregious that Planned Parenthood would use the Christmas season to celebrate the deaths of babies in the womb. According to numbers just released by Planned Parenthood, 255,015 babies who visited Planned Parenthood facilities in 2004 will not be alive to celebrate the birth of Jesus this year.

Babies saved at Planned Parenthood in Houston

The Houston Coalition for Life sent us the following report:

Within the last two months, we believe that three mothers and their unborn children have been saved from abortion at Planned Parenthood in Houston. Two of the saves occurred on a Saturday when there were many pro-lifers present in prayer. The sidewalk counselors so appreciate the presence of people who stand and pray. They provide spiritual and moral support for them and obtain the grace of God that is needed to reverse the "spiritual abortion," thus saving the mom and her unborn child.

On December 12, several pro-lifers were present at Planned Parenthood when a mom who had an appointment there was turned away before she entered the building and was given the help she needed to be able to continue her pregnancy. We were able to offer her a "choice" she could live with; a "choice" Planned Parenthood not only doesn't offer, but doesn't want her to have. A sidewalk counselor and prayer warrior who was present said, "We are here today because it is the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the patroness of the unborn. It is so wonderful that we were given this gift of seeing a baby saved on this special feast day."

Merry Christmas

The staff at American Life League takes this opportunity to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas. We know that the actions of Planned Parenthood can be depressing. There is so much evil in the world and so much death. But, the report from Houston shows how effective our efforts can be. At this time of year, we are called on to remember that the Christ child came to save us. Jesus has already won the ultimate victory over evil. He asks us to do our part against the forces of evil in our time.

As the Christmas weekend approaches, please take time off from your pro-life work and spend it with family and friends. Truly enjoy the peace of the Christmas season. Then, after Christmas, we can get back to fighting for the truth and against the darkness.

Please have a very Merry Christmas.
