A Live Action investigation exposed how Planned Parenthood<\/a> convinces women to have abortions by lying to them, and spreading medical misinformation<\/a>. Brent Boles, a pro-life doctor in Tennessee, recently treated a patient who suffered the same mistreatment, and with her permission, shared her story<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The patient went to the Planned Parenthood facility in Knoxville after facing an unplanned pregnancy, where she was given a pre-abortion<\/a>\u00a0ultrasound.\u00a0She was asked if she wanted to know the details, and answered yes.<\/p>\n

“She asked if there was a heartbeat,” Boles wrote. “She was told, at an age between 7-8 weeks, that \u2018there is cardiac activity but it\u2019s too early to call it a heartbeat.\u2019” As Boles pointed out, this is completely inaccurate; unbiased sources, like the Endowment for Human Development<\/a>, point out that the heart begins beating<\/strong><\/em> approximately three weeks after fertilization.<\/p>\n

“Why would they handle it that way?” Boles asked. “Because acknowledging in layman\u2019s terms that there is a heartbeat makes the patient less likely to go through with the abortion. So, once again, they are willing to lie to women to get their money.”<\/p>\n

Boles then dropped another bombshell: they did not inform the woman that she was pregnant with twins. “Either their sonographer was incompetent, or they once again lied since they know that a woman who finds out that she\u2019s having twins may have a harder time with the thought of aborting two babies instead of one,” he said.<\/p>\n
