Planned Parenthood, which committed 392,715 abortions in 2022-2023, works hard to deceive women and to hide the truth from them about human prenatal development. Keeping women in the dark makes it easier for women to undergo abortions at Planned Parenthood under the misconception that their children are nothing more than pregnancy tissue \u2014 even weeks<\/em> into pregnancy. When it doesn’t outright lie about fetal development, Planned Parenthood often simply avoids discussing it.<\/p>\n

A former staff member once admitted<\/a> that Planned Parenthood would not<\/em> provide patients with information on fetal development. “We never discussed fetal development,” she said. “The baby was referred to as the ‘contents of the uterus’ or a ‘clump of cells.’ On the rare occasion a woman asked about the size of the baby, I would tell her it was about the size of the tip of my pencil, regardless of how many weeks into her pregnancy she was.”<\/p>\n

A free pass to deceive women for far too long<\/strong><\/p>\n

Following the release of Live Action’s “Baby Olivia” \u2014 which uses the same scientifically accurate information distributed by National Geographic in an award-winning prenatal development video created by the Endowment for Human Development \u2014 Planned Parenthood executives were forced to do damage control, claiming that “Baby Olivia” (which in some states<\/a> may be shown<\/a> in elementary and high schools) is nothing more than “propaganda.”<\/p>\n

But taxpayer-funded Planned Parenthood has for too long had a free pass to deceive women who come to their facilities seeking abortions, while lawmakers and their allies at Planned Parenthood<\/a> instead seek to destroy<\/a> and shut down<\/a> pregnancy help centers that are offering women resources<\/a> to choose life.
