<\/div>

For fifty years, Gloria Steinem has been one of America\u2019s most visible abortion advocates. Apparently she\u2019s also a Jay-Z fan.<\/p>\n

A frequent guest at Planned Parenthood fundraisers, Steinem praised<\/a> the abortion giant during a 2013 Oklahoma City event for operating while \u201cunder siege.\u201d She went on to decry the problems of sexual exploitation, physical abuse, and gendercide. Ms. Steinem picked an excellent venue to discuss these issues. After all, Planned Parenthood has a history of promoting all three<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Many sex offenders are desperate to cover up their crimes, often threatening victims if they come forward. Impregnating a victim is especially problematic, since paternity tests tend to be something of a give away. The good news (for predators) is that Planned Parenthood provides a way out <\/a>through their don\u2019t-ask-don\u2019t tell abortion policy.<\/p>\n

In 2012, Coloradan Timothy Smith<\/a> pled guilty to sexually abusing his step daughter. When she became pregnant with his child, Smith took the 13-year-old to a Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains abortion facility. Although state law requires Planned Parenthood to notify the authorities when abuse is suspected, no such notification was given. Nor was any effort made to inform the victim\u2019s mother. Instead, she was released back into the \u201ccare\u201d of her abuser.<\/p>\n

While this was no doubt an horrid experience for Smith\u2019s step-daughter, it was nothing new for Planned Parenthood. Multiple cases<\/a> have come to light in which Planned Parenthood staff have performed abortions on abused children and failed to notify the authorities. Employees have also been caught offering to arrange involuntary abortions on child prostitutes<\/a> who \u201ccan\u2019t speak English<\/a>\u201d and \u201cwon\u2019t know what\u2019s going on<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"exposingOf course, sexual abusers aren\u2019t the only criminals who make use of Planned Parenthood. According to one study, more than half<\/a> of women who seek abortions do so under pressure, sometimes facing violence<\/a> when they refuse. While you may be put off by the thought of violence against women, Planned Parenthood seems to have a different perspective. In fact, their staff members have been encouraging teenage girls to accept it.<\/p>\n

As Live Action has demonstrated before<\/a>, Planned Parenthood is encouraging teens to embrace violent, unsafe sexual practices. The most recent example came from Denver (at two facilities also operated by Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains<\/a>) where a Live Action investigator posed as a 15 year-old looking for sex advice. She was told<\/a> to experiment with bondage, whippings, and asphyxiation. The fact that people have been killed<\/a> while engaging in that last activity was evidently not a concern.<\/p>\n

\"PlannedThe investigator was also advised that the word \u201cstop\u201d may be less than ideal during sex, as her partner might wonder, \u201cDoes she really mean \u2018stop,\u2019 or does she mean, you know, whatever?\u201d That silly business about \u201cno\u201d meaning \u201cno\u201d seems to have fallen out of fashion.<\/p>\n

Then there\u2019s gendercide<\/a>. Steinem pointed out that in some parts of the world, \u201cthere is a son surplus and a daughter deficit because of female infanticide.\u201d What she forgot to mention is the role that sex selective abortion<\/a> plays in this equation.<\/p>\n

With a cultural preference for sons, many girls in Asia don\u2019t make it past their first ultrasound<\/a>. Far from being disturbed by this practice, Planned Parenthood is ready to facilitate it. The organization is opposed<\/a> to laws against sex selective abortions while their staff is more than willing to set these abortions up<\/a>. No matter what Gloria Steinem says, this is an odd organization for women to take pride in. And speaking of taking pride…<\/p>\n

Ms. Steinem characterized her own abortion as a \u201cpositive experience.\u201d Planned Parenthood views abortion as something to celebrate. In 2013, Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains awarded a certificate<\/a> to its Aurora office for increasing the number of abortions over the previous year. Despite criticism for using the term \u201cpro-abortion,\u201d it\u2019s hard to come up with a better expression when awards are given out for doing more of this<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Last year, Steinem was awarded<\/a> the Presidential Medal of Freedom. President Obama declared that, thanks to her efforts, “more women are afforded the respect and opportunities [they] deserve.\u201d<\/p>\n

If Gloria Steinem truly wants to combat sexual abuse, gendercide, and violent relationships, there are two simple things she can do. First, stop raising money for Planned Parenthood. Second, sign Live Action\u2019s petition<\/a> to end the half billion dollars in federal funding the organization receives.<\/p>\n

The fact remains: there are many groups and individuals who are helping protect women, but her friends at Planned Parenthood aren’t among them.<\/p>\n

Unlike Planned Parenthood, Live Action doesn’t get hundreds of millions of dollars in forced taxpayer funding to keep us going. We rely completely on the generosity of our donors. Please give to Live Action today!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
