An undercover journalist with Project Veritas posed as the uncle of a
13-year-old girl whose parents did not know she was pregnant. When he went to
the Kansas City Planned Parenthood, he
recorded his conversation with the clinic's managing director, Lashauna. She was unphased by the journalist's desire to get an abortion for his
niece quickly and secretly.
Lashauna told the journalist that Planned Parenthood would help arrange
transportation, hotel stays, and financial assistance for the fictional
child's abortion at a clinic in Kansas. The abortion giant would also provide
a doctor's note to get the child out of school without informing the school
about the abortion. Planned Parenthood would do all of these things without
informing the child's parents.
“In Planned Parenthood, we consider you an adult,” Lashauna told the
undercover journalist. “You can make the decision then we've got you…We never
tell the parents anything.”
Lashauna said that Planned Parenthood arranged these kinds of abortions “every
day.”
She also mentioned that the Kansas clinic would have to get a "bypass" to
arrange an abortion without parental notification. Under the Roe v. Wade
standard, courts required parental notification and parental consent laws to
contain provisions that would allow minors to bypass those requirements if a
judge deems the minor to be competent and the abortion to be in her best
interest. Such a provision existed in the
Illinois parental notification law that pro-abortion legislators repealed
in December 2021.
Abortion businesses often exploit these bypass opportunities by shopping for
abortion-friendly judges and directing minors to them.
This conduct by Planned Parenthood and other abortion businesses only serves
to protect sex offenders and predators from discovery and prosecution. It does
not seek justice for the child who was raped, nor does it fairly treat the
innocent life created by the offender's conduct.
