<\/div>

In Live Action News’ fourth installment of our REJECT Planned Parenthood<\/em> series<\/a>, we will demonstrate how reckless<\/a> this taxpayer-funded abortion corporation is with the personal health information, test results, and overall privacy of its own clients. Despite multiple privacy breaches, Planned Parenthood still received nearly $700 million dollars<\/a> of taxpayer funding last year alone.<\/p>\n

In the\u00a0first installment<\/a> of our series<\/a>, we offered a glimpse into the organization\u2019s founding under the leadership of Margaret Sanger, later referred to as a racist white supremacist. In\u00a0part two<\/a> of the series, we exposed Planned Parenthood\u2019s insidious agenda to receive billions in taxpayer dollars under the guise of \u201cfamily planning.\u201d That program is known as Title X (pronounced \u201ctitle ten\u201d). In part three<\/a>, we exposed how both Medicaid and Title X require participants<\/a> to comply with state and federal laws regarding the reporting of child sexual abuse \u2014 something Planned Parenthood has repeatedly violated.<\/p>\n

Below is yet more evidence that DOGE needs to defund Planned Parenthood.<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood Privacy Breaches<\/b><\/h3>\n

Imagine Planned Parenthood sending your personal information,<\/a> including STD results, to the wrong person. Or having a note with your Planned Parenthood test results taped to your apartment door<\/em> for anyone to see, or having your private medical information or test results<\/a> faxed or mailed to the wrong person. Or having your mother contacted<\/a> about your pregnancy decision, or your personal health information disclosed<\/a> to your cousin or partner<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Or what if Planned Parenthood staffers were disclosing<\/a> procedures, including abortions,<\/a> to people you knew<\/a>? What if staffers were telling your acquaintances that they saw<\/a> you at Planned Parenthood? What if you worked for Planned Parenthood, then received care there for an STD only to discover<\/a> that your coworkers somehow knew your test results<\/em>? What if you went for an ultrasound, and the name of the previous Planned Parenthood client was still visible<\/a> on the machine?<\/p>\n

All of the incidents above have been alleged by Planned Parenthood clients in multiple privacy complaints<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood of NE Ohio violates HIPAA sends std results to wrong person<\/p><\/div>\n

Another complaint<\/a> alleged:<\/p>\n

I am a registered nurse in the State of Delaware. I (as well as others) have witnessed numerous HIPPA [sic] violations occurring at Planned Parenthood of Delaware. I reported these violations to Delaware Health and Social Services and was told that they (meaning DHSS) would report these violations to you… so I did not because I was told they were going to do so. In the meantime, DHSS stated that they were not going to report to your department. <\/em><\/p>\n

I am not sure why they do not feel it is nessary [sic] but Planned Parenthood is in violation of HIPPA [sic] regulations. Patients have no privacy and are crammed into a recovery room where they sit beside one another listening to personal and private patient information. Please help me protect the patients at Planned Parenthood. It is not fair that their rights are being ignored.<\/em><\/p>\n

Of course, Planned Parenthood denied the accusations.<\/p>\n

Melody Meanor, the former Health Center Manager of Family Planning at Planned Parenthood of Delaware in Wilmington, went public to\u00a0expose<\/a>\u00a0the center\u2019s privacy policies. A\u00a0video<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0transcript<\/a>\u00a0of her statement is available online.<\/p>\n
