Examples of this deception were evident on Planned Parenthood&#8217;s websites when Live Action first began to contact them. What was found, in almost every case, was the word PRENATAL listed in BOLD TEXT at the top of the pregnancy services pages of the majority of the centers that were called.<\/p>\n<p>Samples are below:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-162939\" src=\"\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Elizabeth-NJ-PP-Prenatal-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"573\" height=\"443\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Elizabeth-NJ-PP-Prenatal-1.jpg 573w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Elizabeth-NJ-PP-Prenatal-1-300x232.jpg 300w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Elizabeth-NJ-PP-Prenatal-1-500x387.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 573px) 100vw, 573px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-162940\" src=\"\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/VIrginia-Beach-VA-PP-Prenatal-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"461\" height=\"372\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/VIrginia-Beach-VA-PP-Prenatal-1.jpg 461w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/VIrginia-Beach-VA-PP-Prenatal-1-300x242.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 461px) 100vw, 461px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Had Evon called Live Action before siding with Planned Parenthood, he would have been told how Planned Parenthood systematically <a href=\"\/news\/planned-parenthood-purges-prenatal-from-websites-after-live-action-investigation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">purged<\/a> the term PRENATAL (in bold text) from those sites.
