In January of 2015, 18-year-old Sage Robert Lanza took a 14-year-old girl to Planned Parenthood<\/a> in Enfield, Connecticut, for an abortion. She had become pregnant through their abusive relationship and he was forcing her to abort the baby. Planned Parenthood staff should<\/em> have reported that a 14-year-old was seeking an abortion so authorities could determine if she was being abused, as Planned Parenthood is legally required to report suspected abuse. Instead, it committed the abortion and sent the girl on her way. Staff did nothing to protect her from her abuser or save her from the unwanted abortion. She was not Lanza’s only victim.<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood markets itself as a health care organization that cares about women and girls. However, it has repeatedly failed to protect them. As in the case of Lanza’s victim, Planned Parenthood has frequently ignored the signs of abuse and has allowed the patients whom they claim to care so much about to stay in their abusive situations. Anyone who visits the abortion corporation hoping to be helped out of their abusive relationships are unlikely to find that help from the organization.<\/p>\n
