Live Action has begun releasing<\/a> its docuseries and investigative report showing Planned Parenthood’s failure to report the ongoing sexual abuse<\/a> of young girls who enter its facilities for abortions. Live Action News has documented<\/a> many cases<\/a>\u00a0showing that this is not isolated where Planned Parenthood is concerned. Today, as the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements demand that those who help hide or cover abuse are also called to account, Live Action’s Aiding Abusers<\/a> docuseries is proving, yet again, that Planned Parenthood continues to get a pass from the media<\/a> and Hollywood elites — as well as from the politicians who continue to fund them.<\/p>\n

Tragically, because of the complicity machine<\/a> surrounding Planned Parenthood and its refusal to view these young women as sexual assault victims, young victims of sexual abuse are often abused further. Live Action News continues to uncover cases<\/a> that indicate Planned Parenthood is not doing its due diligence to protect young victims of sexual abuse — and in many cases, isn’t asking about it and is failing to report it.<\/p>\n

Live Action president and founder Lila Rose stated in a press release<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Despite Planned Parenthood\u2019s public rhetoric as well as laws requiring it to report suspected abuse, its failure to report has been deliberate and widespread. Time and again, rather than reporting abuse to authorities, Planned Parenthood has repeatedly looked the other way and performed abortions on victims as young as 12 years old. These girls deserved advocacy but instead Planned Parenthood staff ignored their abuse and returned them to the waiting arms of their abusers.<\/p>\n

Because of flagrant violations like these, the proposed Title X rule tightening on reporting abuse is absolutely necessary. Planned Parenthood has proven that its priority is selling abortions, not caring for the most vulnerable of girls. Planned Parenthood\u2019s culture of cover-up must end, the cycle of abuse of innocent children must end, and Planned Parenthood\u2019s half a billion dollars in annual federal funding must end. Taxpayers cannot be forced to subsidize these abuses of children.<\/p>\n

Live Action is releasing this report as the Time\u2019s Up movement is exposing both sexual abusers and those who help them cover up their crimes \u2014 the people who knew about the abuse but stayed silent. While Planned Parenthood has attached itself to the Time\u2019s Up movement, the movement should be calling out Planned Parenthood for decades of enabling sexual abusers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
