Planned Parenthood is demonstrating that it has no interest in dialogue with individuals who don’t agree with its extreme abortion agenda, or with those who expose its abuses.<\/p>\n

The abortion giant has\u00a0blocked both Live Action and its president, Lila Rose, from viewing select\u00a0Twitter accounts.<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood Action Fund, Planned Parenthood Federation of America, and president\u00a0Cecile Richards, have blocked Rose from following and viewing content; Live Action has been banned from viewing content from Richards, too, along with other Planned Parenthood accounts.<\/p>\n

In addition, multiple Planned Parenthood accounts have blocked Live Action from viewing their profiles.<\/p>\n

In 2009, prior to the update of Live Action’s Twitter handle, half of Planned Parenthood’s Twitter accounts had\u00a0blocked the pro-life group<\/a>. It’s clear that Planned Parenthood\u00a0has no interest in dialogue with individuals on the other side of the abortion debate.<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood’s refusal of dialogue, however,\u00a0goes beyond its online platforms.\u00a0From corporate executives to local facility staffers, the abortion giant has a history of flouting\u00a0the law and ignoring documented abuses. When confronted, Planned Parenthood only accuses the evidence\u00a0investigative journalists\u00a0present as fabricated, “heavily edited” material.<\/p>\n

While Live Action’s investigations have revealed serious violations by Planned Parenthood,\u00a0the abortion giant has repeatedly smeared investigators.<\/p>\n

In 2008, a Planned Parenthood counselor in\u00a0Bloomington, Indiana, covered up suspected child sexual abuse, and coached Rose on how to circumvent the law to obtain an abortion. The staffer ignored mandatory reporting laws and helped to cover up the crime.<\/p>\n
