Former Planned Parenthood Employees Participating in Congressional Probe

  • Blog

As reported, a congressional committee is conducting an investigation of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) and its affiliates. Seven former employees of Planned Parenthood have written to the committee chairman, Rep.Fred Upton, and Rep. Henry Waxman stating that they can testify “from personal experience …that abortion is indeed deployed as a means of family planning” and that “one or more of us have personally witnessed and can testify to the validity of specific concerns raised by subcommittee chairman Cliff Stearns (R-Fl).”

The seven employees state they are prepared to testify on instances where an employee of Planned Parenthood or an affiliate did not:

  • Properly separate government funds prohibited for use for abortions from other funds.
  • Notify parents when a young girl is seeking an abortion.
  • Provide accurate information to a women seeking an abortion.
  • Detect and act upon a situation when a woman seeking an abortion is under coercion.
  • Engage in appropriate financial controls and billing practices in compliance with applicable state and federal laws.

The seven employees include Abby Johnson, whose defection as director of a Planned Parenthood abortion clinic rocked the world. Abby Johnson is now a prominent right-to-life advocate and has been a featured speaker at several Wisconsin Right to Life events. Three other employees, Catherine Adair, Ramona Trevino and Sue Thayer, are scheduled to speak at WRTL events.

We applaud their courage in stepping forward to expose the radical abortion agenda of Planned Parenthood and look forward to their appearances in Wisconsin and, hopefully, before the subcommittee conducting the investigation.
