Indiana Planned Parenthood Caught On Tape Giving Fabricated Medical Information

Contact: Lila Rose, media@liveaction.org, (323) 454-3304

INDIANAPOLIS, July 20--The youth-led pro-life group Live Action released a new undercover video today showing staff at an Indianapolis Planned Parenthood clinic using manipulative and medically inaccurate counseling to convince a young woman to have an abortion. This is the third undercover video Live Action has released showing abusive counseling practices at Planned Parenthood of Indiana.

When the woman, purportedly 10-weeks pregnant, asks the clinician, named "Sarah," when her baby's heart begins to beat, Sarah replies, "It's around I think the 8th or the 9th week that you can hear the heartbeat." The heart actually begins beating 3 weeks and 1 day after conception, according to Moore and Persaud's well-known textbook The Developing Human: Clinically Oriented Embryology. The Planned Parenthood clinician also insists, "It's not a baby, it's a fetus," which, she claims, is "not like a person."

In the video, Sarah assures the woman that "having an abortion is safer than carrying to term." The woman asks, "The abortion won't hurt me from having more kids in the future, will it?" and the counselor replies, "Nope." But a 2009 study from the Obstetrical and Gynecological Survey recently found that a previous abortion increased a woman's risk of pre-term birth by 20%, and a 2003 report from the Shanghai Institute of Planned Parenthood Research notes a 55% increased risk of future miscarriages for women who have abortions.

Lila Rose, UCLA student and president of Live Action, says the new footage places Planned Parenthood well outside the medical mainstream. "Planned Parenthood's counseling is based on its abortion-first mentality rather than the medical facts that women need," observes Rose. "Planned Parenthood gives vulnerable women misinformation to sell them the abortion." Indiana informed consent state law requires that women receive accurate medical information before undergoing an abortion.

The undercover video is the third released by Live Action in the "Rosa Acuna Project," a multi-state undercover investigation of medical misinformation and manipulative counseling at Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion business in America. In the undercover "Mona Lisa Project," Live Action released footage of two Planned Parenthood Indiana clinics agreeing to cover-up the sexual abuse of a child. Indiana lawmakers have since sought to defund the state affiliate of over $3 million it receives annually in government grants.

"Citizens and lawmakers in Indiana must stop Planned Parenthood from using millions of dollars of taxpayer money to exploit young women," states Rose.

12 nurses charge that the U of Med & Dentistry of New Jersey violated state & federal laws by abruptly announcing in September that nurses would have to help with abortion patients before & after the procedure, reversing a long-standing policy exempting employees who refuse based on religious or moral objections. One of the nurses, Fe Esperanza R. Vinoya, said a manager told her: You just have to catch the baby’s head. Don’t worry, it’s already dead. WP

@ILoveFriedFetus What you said about the cancer screening is not true. People often are referring to PAP smears and mammograms when speaking abt cancer screenings. As far as mammograms go, they don't personally offer them. For Planned Parenthood to be shut down is still pro-life because these women have other options. They also don't care for the unborn; they send women other places for that? Why? Because they are to busy with their main service: abortion.

@ILoveFriedFetus wtf? whats the difference if its inside the stomache or out? hmmm?! i love fried fetus wtf kind of name is that >.< maybe its a fetus but a fetus is a being & its a human fetus meaning its a human being & killing another human being is wrong! no way around it !

[SwordofSpirits111]

@SwordofSpirits111 Pascal's Wager (yawn). you could also be praying to the wrong god considering there are nearly 50, 000 of them in history. your chances of being right are literally 1 in 50,000. not good odds.

[SwordofSpirits111]

@ILoveFriedFetus If you're right, we'll know soon, if I'm right, you'll know for an eternity.

@Alcarpediem praying for the end of PP is praying for the end of free to low cost cancer screenings for millions of women, which could mean life or death for them. (so much for your "pro life" stance) ...PP also provides millions of women with care for their fetus while they are pregnant to ensure the child is born healhty. guess you're against that too. gee, kinda seems like you're not so prolife after all!

@esaflygiirl123 technically speaking, medically speaking, its NOT a baby. my sister is a practicing OB/GYN and ONLY calls the FETUS a "baby" upon the pregnant woman's request. any doctor referring to the fetus as a "baby" or anything other than a fetus (what it actually is) would be considered quite unprofessional. my sister is anti abortion and even SHE understands this. it is NOT a baby until it is born. dont get mad me, get mad at medicine.

@SwordofSpirits111 haha, i love you say good luck in the afterlife as if you have proof of this so called afterlife. yet, you have none! i dont need luck, i have logic and reason.

[esaflygiirl123]

Haha she says it not a baby do you notice the part where she says its better than carrying the BABY to term ..
