The story is horrific enough – in Seattle, a mother finds out her 15-year-old daughter got an abortion during school hours that was arranged by the school’s health clinic.
But then throw in the fact that the girl took a cab to the Planned Parenthood clinic, who did the abortion, and was discouraged by staffers not to tell her parents or the abortion wouldn’t be free.
A nightmare by most parents’ standards.
Washington State does not have any parental consent laws. Megyn Kelly at Fox News has the story here:
This story falls directly in line with the multiple investigations of Planned Parenthood by student activist and undercover journalist Lila Rose. She has caught number PP clinics giving advice to underage girls on how to cover up their abortions by not letting their parents know about it. You can see the videos over at Live Action’s website: http://www.liveaction.org/index.php/projects/monalisa.
And while healthcare is still hot, we’ll add in here that the bill approved grants for school based clinics. The clinics themselves can’t do abortions, but there is nothing to stop them from shipping kids off for abortions (page 428).
