Planned Parenthood workers: We lied to women about the development of their babies

Editor’s note: This is part of an ongoing series investigating the lies, cover-ups, and abuses inside Planned Parenthood, America’s largest abortion chain.

Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion provider in the United States. In 2014 alone, the abortion giant performed over 320,000 abortions. Each abortion destroyed a growing preborn baby and left a woman with a lifelong memory of her child’s death.

Planned Parenthood also has a long history of not telling women the truth about the abortion procedures they are about to undergo. In particular, they don’t tell women any details about the preborn babies their abortions will kill.  In a survey of women who had abortions at Planned Parenthood, a whopping 95% said the Planned Parenthood counselor gave them “little or no biological information about the fetus which the abortion would destroy.”

At other times, Planned Parenthood counselors have responded to women’s questions with outright lies.

One former Planned Parenthood employee was quoted as saying:

Former Planned Parenthood abortion worker Catherine Anthony Adair said in an article in The Washington Examiner:

And La Verne Tolbert, a former Planned Parenthood-New York City board member, says that:

Many women have also come forward. The group Silent No More has gathered testimonies from women who went to Planned Parenthood and were deceived by counselors there.

Susan, from New Jersey, has this to say about her abortion at Planned Parenthood:

A woman named Lori also told her story:

By a mere 22 days after conception a preborn baby has a heartbeat. You can see the heart of a four-and-a-half-week-old preborn baby here. By 60 days, the baby has brainwaves. By seven weeks, she has developed arms and legs and she can have the hiccups. She can also move her arms and legs. By eight weeks, she is fully formed and is already showing right or left hand dominance. The eight-week-old embryo also responds to touch. By nine weeks, she can grasp an object, stretch, open her mouth, roll over in the womb, and move her tongue. Her kidneys are producing urine, she makes breathing motions, and most of her organ systems are present — including, in a female preborn baby, a uterus and ovaries of her own.

A baby at nine weeks is far from a “blob of tissue.”

Donna, from Indiana, was also lied to:

Kristyn from Colorado says:

Linda says:

All of the above stories come from Silent No More.

But Planned Parenthood has also been caught on tape giving false information. See a Live Action investigator catch a clinic worker lying in this video:

Entire books could be written on the subject of Planned Parenthood’s faulty and dishonest counseling. This article only scratches the surface of the mountain of evidence against the abortion giant.
