Planned Parenthood Inquiry

Indiana Lawmaker Calls For Planned Parenthood Inquiry

 

A member of the Indiana General Assembly on Tuesday asked the state attorney general and Marion County prosecutor to investigate video-taped advice given at two Planned Parenthood clinics to a woman who said she was underage and wanted an abortion. In one video, taken at a Bloomington clinic and released earlier this month, a woman who said she was a minor who was pregnant by a 31-year-old man was told by a Planned Parenthood representative to seek an abortion in Illinois. The woman who made the pregnancy claim was an adult, according to the organization that secretly made the recording. A similar video, which was made in an Indianapolis clinic and released this week, prompted the request from Rep. Jackie Walorski, R-Lakeville. "When I saw the second one, I thought it was not an isolated incident; it was a pattern," Walorski said. "This starts becoming an issue that's worthy of a statewide investigation."
