7 former employees offer to testify against Planned Parenthood in congressional probe.


December 7, 2011(LifeSiteNews.com) – Seven former Planned Parenthood employees have expressed their support for Congress’ current investigation of the abortion giant, and offered to testify against the organization, in a letter released this week.
News broke in September that the U.S. House Committee on Energy and Commerce had launched an investigation into Planned Parenthood to determine whether the group mishandles criminal conduct, or uses federal funding to pay for abortions.

Abby Johnson is one of the seven former Planned Parenthood workers who signed a letter offering to testify against the abortion gian
In a letter addressed to leaders of the House Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, the former Planned Parenthood workers say they “have personally witnessed and can testify to the validity of specific concerns raised by subcommittee chairman Cliff Stearns (R-FL).”
In particular, they say Planned Parenthood has failed to notify parents when an underage girl is seeking an abortion, to detect or report cases of coerced abortion or sex trafficking, and to properly segregate government funds away from abortion costs,  among other violations.
The group also pointed out that Planned Parenthood receives “roughly $1 million per day in federal-state support.” “This alone would merit close government attention as to whether or not these funds are being spent appropriately,” they write.

Planned Parenthood released a new fact sheet  yesterday with updated numbers for their services from the most recent year with data available, 2009. Surprise surprise, abortions are up, and adoptions are waaaay down.
Planned Parenthood’s trend of increasing their abortion numbers continues, with 332,278 unborn children killed in 2009, a 2.5% increase since 2008. The increase represents at least another $4 million in income for Planned Parenthood.
Meanwhile, adoption referrals are down 59%, with only 977 referrals in 2009.

PLANNED PARENTHOOD APPLAUDS FEDERAL COURT RULING ON PLAN B

  • Published: 03.24.09
Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) applauded today’s ruling by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York ordering the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) to expand access to emergency contraception (EC), also known as Plan B.
“Today’s federal court ruling puts women’s health ahead of politics,” said Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America. “We must do everything we can to reduce the number of unintended pregnancies and protect the health and safety of all women.”
Specifically, the court ruled that the FDA must make Plan B available over the counter to women age 17 and older within 30 days.

Feds Pull Plug on Nonprescription Plan B for Young Teens 12/07/11

Despite the Food and Drug Administration’s finding that Plan B One-Step, an emergency contraceptive, is safe, effective, and should be approved for nonprescription use by all women of childbearing potential, the drug remains unavailable without a prescription for those under 17 years old.
Dr. Margaret Hamburg, FDA Commissioner, announced her agency’s analysis and finding Dec. 7, but noted that Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius had overruled the decision.
In a memo, Ms. Sebelius disagreed with the FDA’s decision to extend approval of Plan B One-Step for nonprescription use by all women of childbearing potential based on her stated concern that the studies submitted to the FDA do not include data on girls of all ages who would be granted nonprescription access to the drug.
“It is commonly understood that there are significant cognitive and behavioral differences between older adolescent girls and the youngest girls of reproductive age, which I believe are relevant to making this determination as to non-prescription availability of this product for all ages,” she said.
Plan B One-Step, a 1.5-mg levonorgestrel tablet, was first approved by the FDA in 2006 for use without a prescription by females aged 17 years and older, and by prescription only for girls younger than 17 years. The pill has been shown to reduce the chance of pregnancy after unprotected sex.
