Every day, Planned Parenthood facilities commit abortions on teens. Some have already become victims of abuse and coercion when they step inside Planned Parenthood’s doors, only to be further coerced into having their children killed by Planned Parenthood staff. 

Live Action has conducted significant investigations into Planned Parenthood’s willingness to aid abusers and sex traffickers and even coerce young women into having abortions.

Women have stepped forward, publicly sharing their stories of having abortions as teenagers at Planned Parenthood facilities for the Silent No More Awareness campaign. Their stories deserve to be heard.

Emily

Emily said she asked Planned Parenthood to help her when her parents were forcing her to have an abortion at the age of 16. Instead, Planned Parenthood staff allegedly drugged and forcibly detained her.

Her written testimony is here.

Emily's 2020 March for Life Testimony

Emily stated:

It was decided by my parents that I would have an abortion. I claimed I wanted to keep my baby, but I was taken to the abortion clinic against my will. I asked for help from the staff at Planned Parenthood and stated that I was not there willingly when counseled.

To my surprise, my cries for help fell upon deaf ears. No one came to save me. I was degraded by the adults there and was told that I was acting like a child.

During the ultrasound, I heard my baby’s heartbeat loud and clear. Halfway through my ultrasound I stood up and ran out of the room and found myself up against a door. That is the last thing I remember aside from waking up in the recovery room.

I imagine that I was drugged to keep quiet. The staff at Planned Parenthood were concerned that I would scare the other women there preparing for their abortions.

Deb

Deb said Planned Parenthood helped her get an illegal abortion as a teen, and told her that her baby was nothing more than a blob of cells.

Deb's 2020 March for Life Testimony

Deb stated:

I had an abortion because I was nervous about being pregnant at 17, single, and because my boyfriend wanted me to have one.

When I went to Planned Parenthood, the worker there told me that I wouldn’t be aborting a baby, because it was nothing more than a blob of cells. She then told me that I would have to forget about school if I decided not to have an abortion. I scheduled the appointment. 

Because it was against the law in 1975 for a minor to get an abortion without parental consent, the woman from Planned Parenthood told me to bring a legal ID from someone else, and not to tell my parents.

Laura

Laura said Planned Parenthood didn’t inform her she would experience pain until right before the abortion. Then, she claims staff botched her abortion, and she was forced to pass the remains of her baby into a toilet.

Her written testimony is here.

Laura's 2020 March for Life Testimony

When I was 16 years old I found myself pregnant. I made the hasty decision to have an abortion out of fear of anyone knowing. Upon arriving at Planned Parenthood I was given no information about the abortion procedure. Once prepped, the doctor told me to let him know when I felt a pinch. I panicked. I had not been told there would be pain involved. They just told me they would help. 

I began to cry. Once the procedure began, I pleaded, “it pinches, it pinches.” When I left Planned Parenthood that day, I promised myself I would never think or talk about this day ever again. 

In a follow up appointment for the abortion they discovered they had not completely removed the baby and told me I would need to return for another procedure. Before the second procedure occurred, I passed the remains of my baby in a toilet.

I was devastated but didn’t know what else to do but flush the toilet. I was traumatized. Not only by the procedure, but by the sight of what was left of my child.

These horrific and heartbreaking stories portray Planned Parenthood not as a compassionate and legitimate healthcare provider, but as a callous corporation that kills babies and harms women, including young girls.

Planned Parenthood preys upon the most vulnerable – helpless preborn babies and desperate and coerced young women – while it rakes in hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars each year. Planned Parenthood’s latest annual report from 2022-23 reveals record-breaking abortions — 392,715 in a single year, while it received nearly $700 million taxpayer dollars.

It is time to defund Planned Parenthood.
