Live Action Undercover Report: Planned Parenthood Refuses Help to DeTransition and Must be Defunded

National org launches campaign to defund Planned Parenthood with investigation, policy report, alongside Chloe Cole.

Washington, D.C. – Today, Live Action, one of the nation’s leading human rights organizations, released its latest undercover investigation to expose the evils of Planned Parenthood. The story broke first on Fox News.

Influencer and detransitioner, Chloe Cole, called Planned Parenthood facilities across the country asking for help to detransition, stating that she was concerned about fertility side effects and surgical damage. Cole was told those services did not exist.

Key findings from the undercover video include:

Planned Parenthood offers "gender-affirming care" to patients seeking to transition but no services for individuals wishing to detransition
The organization was unable to assist patients in reversing the effects of the hormones and medications it prescribes.
A worker who had transitioned themselves had no relevant information or interest in discussing detransitioning.
Staff quickly dismissed concerns about fertility preservation and questions regarding reversing surgical procedures.

Lila Rose, founder and president of Live Action, released the following statement:

“Live Action’s undercover investigation with detransitioner Chloe Cole exposed Planned Parenthood’s one-way body destruction pipeline. Planned Parenthood is willing to prescribe cross-sex hormones and push vulnerable people including minors further into dangerous so-called ‘gender-affirming care,’ , but when someone comes back seeking help to detransition, Planned Parenthood has no answers, no support, and no services to help reverse the damage.

Planned Parenthood is already the largest abortion chain in America, killing over 400,000 innocent preborn children every year. Now it has expanded its business model into the exploitation of confused and vulnerable young people through cross-sex hormones and transgender services. Taxpayers should not be forced to subsidize this destruction.

I am calling on Congress and President Trump to extend the defunding of Planned Parenthood before it expires on our nation’s birthday. America should protect the vulnerable, not fund the organizations that profit from harming them. Defund Planned Parenthood now.”

Chloe Cole partnered with Live Action to participate in this investigation. She said:

“Many Americans know Planned Parenthood as the nation’s largest abortion chain, but fewer know it has also become a major provider of cross-sex hormones and so-called ‘gender-affirming care’ for young people. I know firsthand the pain of being pushed down the path of transition, and during this investigation with Live Action, I wanted to see what Planned Parenthood would do when someone came back asking for help to detransition. What I found was horrifying: Planned Parenthood was ready to help people start transitioning, but had no real answers, no meaningful support, and no services to help them reverse course. Detransitioners deserve honesty, medical care, and support, and Planned Parenthood should not receive another dime of taxpayer funding.”

The latest undercover investigation comes after Live Action released powerful footage last year exposing Planned Parenthood for pushing cross-sex hormones to minors with same-day access and no mental health or documentation required.

Live Action also released a comprehensive report titled Planned Parenthood's Path to Destruction: From Abortion to Transgender that details how the organization has added to their business model by pushing cross-sex hormones to minors.
