Recently, Live Action released an undercover video<\/a>\u00a0of\u00a0recorded phone calls and visits to Planned Parenthood facilities. Callers contacted Planned Parenthood facilities posing as pregnant women who wanted ultrasounds. The callers made it clear that they did not want abortions, but wanted the ultrasound to check if the baby was healthy and developing normally. After all, Planned Parenthood claims to be all about women’s health and a provider of many services other than abortion. \u00a0However, nearly all of the Planned Parenthood facilities turned the women away.<\/p>\n

In fact, 65 of the\u00a068 Planned Parenthood locations contacted told the women\u00a0that they only provided ultrasounds on abortion patients. The facilities even had a policy that ultrasounds\u00a0were only used to date the pregnancy before abortion procedures. They had no interest in helping pregnant women who wanted to have their babies. The investigation revealed that except in very rare cases, Planned Parenthood only does ultrasounds after the woman has agreed to have an abortion.<\/p>\n
