Planned Parenthood hides suicidal minor's condition from parents

Abortionists at a Planned Parenthood business in Aurora, Illinois, called 911 for help when their patient, a minor, suffered a complication.

But they didn't disclose the problem to her parents, who were in the clinic waiting room, according to the pro-life group Operation Rescue.

The incident took place Christmas Eve 2018. OR, which obtained 911 records from the Pro-Life Action League, said the complications soon become evident. But Planned Parenthood wasn't about to let police or emergency responders know the details. The abortionists disclosed only that the girl was expressing "suicidal tendencies" and needed to be taken to a hospital.

"The redacted recording of the 911 call revealed something that is every parent's nightmare," said the OR report by Cheryl Sullenger.

The 9-1-1 operator asked: "Are her parents there, too?"

"Yes," said the Planned Parenthood official, "but, um, -- they're, um – we are not disclosing anything to her parents."

Operation Rescue documented there was was other information Planned Parenthood was concealing.

The 911 operator asked: "And what's the patient's name?"

Planned Parenthood: "I don't have her name."

911: "OK, do you have any info on her?"

Planned Parenthood: "No, I'm not allowed to give that information over the phone."

911: "OK, well you're calling 911 so the officers and the paramedics need to know what they're walking into."

Planned Parenthood: "Well, I just told you."

"What were they hiding," OR asked.

The report from the city's police department confirmed, "Parents are there but don’t know PD has been called."

Police also reported, "Caller was extremely uncooperative and refused to give any more info."

Operation Rescue said: "While there are no details about why the girl was suicidal, she was at a Planned Parenthood abortion clinic on Christmas Eve, which is usually not a time that routine services other than abortions are done. It is likely that her distress was related to an abortion decision."

Troy Newman, president of Operation Rescue, said the girl's parents deserved to know what was happening with their child.

"Minors need parental permission to receive any kind of medical care — apparently unless they are at an abortion clinic," he said.

"However, if the parents were the ones posing a threat to the daughter, why wouldn't Planned Parenthood just tell the 911 dispatcher that? I think the evasiveness of Planned Parenthood meant that the parents were not the cause of this girl's issues."

The report noted that the Planned Parenthood caller refused to provide requested information to the 911 dispatcher also potentially placed the emergency responders in harm’s way.

"Planned Parenthood forced police and paramedics to walk blindly into an emotionally fraught situation by refusing to answer the dispatcher's questions. They placed the emergency responders at potential risk, and that is inexcusable," said Newman.
