In the past several weeks, legal troubles have mounted for Planned Parenthood:

• Illinois Planned Parenthood has been scheming for over a year to build a new “super mill” in a suburb of Chicago. Permitting was moving forward as Planned Parenthood hid its involvement and the intentions from city officials. Now the City of Aurora has hired a new investigator to review the entire process and determine whether Planned Parenthood engaged in illegal acts to obtain city permits.

• Planned Parenthood of Nebraska has been sued for medical malpractice by a 40 year old woman who underwent an abortion at their facility in Lincoln. The woman lost 80 percent of her blood volume and needed an emergency hysterectomy to save her life.

• Planned Parenthood of San Diego now faces two lawsuits. One is filed alleging wrongful death in the case of a 21 year old attorney who died following an abortion at the facility. A month later, another woman filed suit because Planned Parenthood failed to tell her she had cervical cancer – despite having obtained a Pap smear at their offices. The woman didn’t find out about her cancer for over a year, by which time it had progressed to stage 3. To make matters worse, Planned Parenthood officials in San Diego refused to provide the woman with copies of her own medical files.

• Police in Hartford, Connecticut have confirmed that the Planned Parenthood affiliate there performed an abortion on a 15 year old girl who was the victim of kidnapping and sexual abuse. The girl apparently ran away from home to live with a 41 year old predator. After getting her pregnant, the man took her to Planned Parenthood. Despite a state law requiring Planned Parenthood to report the abortion as a case of possible abuse – no evidence exists that they ever did.

The man in question is being prosecuted. But it is unclear whether any action will be taken against Planned Parenthood.
