Planned Parenthood officials have responded to today’s expose’ video showing how a staffer at an Austin, Texas planned Parenthood clinic encouraged a woman inquiring about an abortion to determine the gender of her unborn child to have one.
Planned Parenthood officials responded to the video in a statement to the liberal Huffington Post and admitted they will not deny women abortions for any reason, including sex-selection abortions. As the Post reports:
This spokeswoman for Planned Parenthood Federation of America also told The Huffington Post that the organization condemns seeking abortions on the basis of gender, but its policy is to provide “high quality, confidential, nonjudgmental care to all who come into” its health centers. That means that no Planned Parenthood clinic will deny a woman an abortion based on her reasons for wanting one, except in those states that explicitly prohibit sex-selective abortions (Arizona, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and Illinois).
The abortion business dismissed the video by saying the staffer shown in it violated supposedly-existing protocals and saying it fired the staffer in question.
A Planned Parenthood spokeswoman told The Huffington Post on Tuesday the staffer in the video “did not follow our protocol” for dealing with “a highly unusual patient scenario.”
“Planned Parenthood insists on the highest quality patient care, and if we ever become aware of a staff member not meeting these high standards we take swift action,” she said in a written statement. “Within three days of this patient interaction, the staff member’s employment was ended and all staff members at this affiliate were immediately scheduled for retraining in managing unusual patient encounters. Today opponents of Planned Parenthood are promoting an edited video of that hoax patient encounter.”
The abortion business has yet to place the statement on its web site and, at press time, has not issued any comments on the video via its Facebook or Twitter accounts.

The video shows a Planned Parenthood staffer encouraging the woman to obtain a late-term abortion because she was purportedly carrying a girl and wanted to have a boy. The video is first in a new series titled “Gendercide: Sex-Selection in America,” that Live Action tells LifeNews will be exposing the practice of sex-selective abortion in the United States and how Planned Parenthood and the rest of the abortion industry facilitate the selective elimination of baby girls in the womb.
“I see that you’re saying that you want to terminate if it’s a girl, so are you just wanting to continue the pregnancy in the meantime?” a Planned Parenthood counselor named “Rebecca” offers the woman, who is purportedly still in her first trimester and cannot be certain about the gender.
“The abortion covers you up until 23 weeks,” explains Rebecca, “and usually at 5 months is usually (sic) when they detect, you know, whether or not it’s a boy or a girl.”

Planned Parenthood’s “War on Women” destroys the women of the future for financial gain. Shameful.
Well if the rest of the world is any example; I’d say the way on women just landed in the U.S.
Part of the Democrats’ “War On Women”...
“destroys the women of the future for financial gain. Shameful.”
Yes and don’t tell planned parenthood this but they are abortion future customers! Future repeat customers at that.
Oh but don’t tell them because they may end sex selection practice if they knew they were working themselves out of a job.
Do I even need the /sarc for this post?
A little off topic but is PP a govt agency or privately owned? Who owns it?

Hate Cime !!
Planned Parenthood - An Equal Opportunity Baby Killer!
I did not write either stories but this one came from a pro life news site.
I is a “nonprofit” corporation but abortion is their biggest money earner
It would not exist without private donors and HUGE government grants
Hence, “you” own PP
Why would this surprise anyone?
They do not obey the law. They do not obey laws on parental consent/notification or reporting statutory rape... all that matters is killing babies as sacrifices to their Goddess, the Lilith.
PP is a billion dollar corporation, recieving much of its funding from taxpayers. You will find that most large leftist orgs get money from government.
Here’s our chance to do something about it:
