Pro-life activist Lila Rose is taking Planned Parenthood to task for its deceptive anti-Romney advertising that hides the truth about its criminal history.
Lila Rose
Rose, president of Live Action, the pro-life organization that has used undercover video to expose the criminal activity taking place in Planned Parenthood clinics across the U.S. published an op-ed in The Washington Times that blasts the abortion giant for a series of sanitized campaign ads meant to deceive the public into believing it has women’s best interests at heart.
“Planned Parenthood makes the bold claim in its [anti-Romney] ad that ‘millions of women rely on Planned Parenthood health centers for basic health care, including lifesaving cancer screenings.’ This is deliberate deception. Women inside and outside the womb face harm at Planned Parenthood clinics,” Rose writes.
She then launches into a litany of ugly facts about Planned Parenthood, such as how there have been at least 10 ambulance calls to their clinics in the past 20 months. One of their patients, 24 year-old Tonya Reaves, bled to death after her uterus was punctured.
In addition, former patient Roberta Clark has just filed a malpractice lawsuit against Planned Parenthood Birmingham for a botched abortion in 2010. That clinic’s” circuit-riding” abortionist failed to diagnose an ectopic pregnancy, which later resulted in the emergency removal of her fallopian tubes and 13-week-old baby, a procedure that has left Clark infertile.
“Planned Parenthood’s ad mentions cancer screenings — another deceptive claim about the services it provides. Live Action conducted an investigation earlier this year that demonstrated that Planned Parenthood does not perform mammograms, the gold standard in breast cancer screenings. The Department of Health and Human Services confirmed in June, in response to our Freedom of Information Act request, that no Planned Parenthood clinic in the nation has mammography equipment,” Rose writes.
Women inside the womb are also in danger because the clinic “condones the despicable worldwide practice of female gendercide, the killing of little girls in the womb specifically because they are female.”
Live Action videos show Planned Parenthood personnel in several states enabling and encouraging undercover investigators to abort baby girls simply because they were girls.
“The evidence is clear: Planned Parenthood is concerned only about maintaining its pipeline of taxpayer dollars at any cost, including the health and well-being of women,” she writes. “Hence its unwavering support of Mr. Obama, who has shown radical support for the killing of unborn children as a ‘right’ throughout his political career.”
The President is best known for consistently voting against legislation that would deny lifesaving care to babies who survive an abortion, but he also voted against the repeal of the Ban on Partial Birth Abortion and most recently voiced his opposition to a House law that would ban sex-selective abortion.
“The symbiotic relationship between Mr. Obama and powerful abortion interests like Planned Parenthood has nothing to do with women’s health,” Rose concludes. “It’s a relationship as old as politics, where political power is exchanged for government funding, and the health and welfare of women get lip service.”
