The Missouri Attorney General filed a lawsuit against Planned Parenthood, accusing it of trafficking minors for out-of-state abortions.
The suit references an undercover video from Project Veritas where Planned Parenthood employees in Missouri appeared willing to help a man posing as his 13-year-old niece’s uncle obtain an abortion in Kansas without her parents’ consent.
The employees discussed ways to alter doctors’ notes to get the girl out of school and transporting her across state lines to avoid parental notification.
“This is the beginning of the end for Planned Parenthood in the State of Missouri. What they conceal and conspire to do in the dark of night has now been uncovered. I am filing suit to ensure it never happens again,” Bailey said in a statement. “As a father who held my daughter in my arms for the single hour of her life before she died, I know firsthand how important it is to protect life. Our children are the future. It is time to eradicate Planned Parenthood once and for all to end this pattern of abhorrent, unethical, and illegal behavior.”
“The surreptitiously recorded video revealed that Planned Parenthood removes minors from school using altered doctors’ notes, transports them into Kansas for abortions, and then quickly returns them — all to avoid parents finding out,” the lawsuit says. “Violating the ‘deeply rooted’ right of parents and the laws of Missouri, Planned Parenthood is inducing minors into making life-changing — and life-ending — decisions without parental consent.”
“This is a press release dressed up as legal action from an unelected attorney general. It is based on ‘evidence’ from fraudulent, extreme anti-abortion actors, who claim to be ‘journalists,’” Planned Parenthood of Greater Plains Emily Wales said. “We will continue following state and federal laws and proudly providing Missourians with the compassionate sexual and reproductive care that remains available to them in a state with a total abortion ban.”
The AG alleges Planned Parenthood violated Missouri law and the rights of parents.
Planned Parenthood denied any wrongdoing and transporting patients, claiming the video was edited.
It maintains it follows state laws, while the AG aims to fully remove Planned Parenthood from Missouri.
