A judge found Planned Parenthood negligent for failing to report to Child Protective Services an abortion performed on a 13-year-old girl in foster care - a case abortion opponents say is a key example of the importance of parental consent laws.

Sick. Just as sick as the goings on in the Archdiocese of Boston.

Sick story. At least the foster brother was punished.

[dead]

But the lawsuit accuses her foster parents, Donald and Patricia Stevens, CPS, and Arizona Baptist Children's Services - responsible for monitoring some foster children for CPS - of failing to protect the girl from repeated sexual abuse...

Hart said the lawsuit never alleges the Stevens knew about the affair, only that they should have known.

And they would have known, if Planned Parenthood didn't put snuffing out children ahead of stopping rapists.

[patton]

So many crimes...

The children were "neglected" at home.

Were they raped? Because that is what the state did to them.

[Hila]

And Planned parenthood MUST BE CLOSED DOWN. The sooner the better - they have surpassed their quota of murder and meddling.

[patton]

Quit following me around tonight - it's starting to freak me out.

[patton]

So should CPS. The social workers that arranged the date-rape also should be in jail.

The girl's case dates back to 1998, when the teen went for an abortion at a Planned Parenthood clinic accompanied by her 23-year-old foster brother, with whom she was having a sexual relationship. Planned Parenthood didn't notify authorities until the girl returned six months later for a second abortion,K/B> court records show.

Golly. Iffen I didn't know better, I'd say the availability of abortion fosters irresponsible sexual behavior.

Anything to protect the Abortion Industry. Sick.

[gitmo]

In court papers, Planned Parenthood defended not reporting the abortion because "it does not follow that the negligence caused damages," and "no reporting would have been required if she had been eight months older."

They actually said this in court??? It would have been legal if the circumstances had been different? The statutory rape was benign?

This is unbelievable.

[jellybean]

Despite the language in the lawsuit, the girl's court appointed attorney, James Hart, said rape was not suspected.

"There is no indication that (the sex) was anything but consensual," he said.

In fact, he said clinic workers didn't know the girl was having a sexual relationship with her foster brother Shawn Stevens, the Stevens' natural son who also lived in the home. The girl told clinicians she was impregnated by a 14-year-old teen, records show.

This girl need to demand a different lawyer...this one sounds like he's defending Planned Parenthood.

[trussell]

Neglected by her parent(s).

Ignored and neglected by her foster parents.

Raped by her foster brother.

The only thing Planned Parenthood cares about is the money they're getting from abortions. It's big business.

[prophetic]

"Planned Parenthood"

a real piece of the modern deceptions and oxymorons!!

They have nothing to do with PLANNING (except if you call killing babies an expedient way of getting rid of a lifeform)or PARENTHOOD.

[Frank_2001]

It is legally impossible for this girl to consent to sex, period. IMHO there are times when having a court-appointed attorney is worse than having none at all.

[jellybean]

It is leagally impossible for this girl to consent to sex, period.

You're absolutely correct! This shyster lawyer is not working in her interest. He's more sympathetic to PP's POV, IMHO.

[GovernmentShrinker]

If PP doesn't care about stopping racists, why did they report it the second time the girl came in? PP has its problems, but I think they're the least of the problem in this particular case. CPS in most states has a history of putting vulnerable kids into foster homes where abuse has previously been reported. If PP had reported this the first time, CPS probably would have put the girl right back in that home, or put her in another one that was just as bad, and put some other kid in the first home. And has anyone checked the caseworker's records of visits and reports? I think it's pretty likely that some caseworker was getting paid to make regular visits to check on this girl, but wasn't actually doing it.

Aren't we so shocked that Planned unParenthood could possibly have self designed morals? Proverbs 12:15.
