Abortion organizations, businesses, and funding groups are taking part in what has been dubbed “abortion trafficking” by openly enticing minor children to cross state lines to obtain an abortion. While “abortion trafficking” may not rise to the level of sex trafficking in the minds of some, the idea of a child being enticed away from the protection of their family by a stranger for any reason is disturbing.<\/p>\n

Abortion is a business which profits from increasing clients \u2014 but many feel that perfect strangers arranging for children to travel across state lines without parental knowledge is reminiscent of child sexual predators utilizing social media and other nefarious tools and promises to take advantage of innocent teens.<\/p>\n

In 2022, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) received<\/a> 19,000 reports <\/b>of possible child sex trafficking alone.<\/p>\n

Karl Eastlund, CEO of Planned Parenthood of Greater Washington and North Idaho (PPGWNI), recently told<\/a> PBS Newshour that teens who are sexually abused often come to Planned Parenthood, and some travel from out of state.<\/p>\n

“We often get teenagers coming here, who are 15 weeks pregnant, 20 weeks pregnant, farther along in the pregnancy than they ever imagined – they didn’t even know they were pregnant many of them – because of abuse, and it’s abuse in the home. We are talking about sexual abuse and incest, which is unfortunately a reason many teenagers have to seek abortion,” Eastlund said.<\/p>\n

While Eastlund cited no evidence for his claim, Live Action’s Aiding Abusers<\/a> investigation has demolished the pro-abortion media’s illusion that Big Abortion is a trusted source for sexually abused minors by documenting how Planned Parenthood and the wider abortion industry has covered for child sexual abusers.<\/p>\n

In addition, Live Action and Live Action News have documented (here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, and here<\/a>) multiple criminal cases in which sexually abused teens were taken to abortion businesses and Planned Parenthood facilities \u2014 sometimes out of state \u2014 to cover the crime of rape. In addition, Live Action News has also documented individual predatory sexual abuse and harassment allegations among staffers associated with the abortion industry (here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, and here<\/a>).<\/p>\n
