Two days ago Live Action released a video exposing Planned Parenthood's willingness to help women have sex-selective abortions. A Live Action actor came into a Planned Parenthood, explained to the employee that she wanted a boy but would abort a girl, and caught the employees reaction on film. The results, honestly, don't shock me much after watching Planned Parenthood handle themselves in the past. They agreed to go through testing to discover "the sex of the pregnancy" (the word "baby" is always avoided within Planned Parenthood's walls), and abort if the child is a girl. However, Planned Parenthood released a statement saying that they fired the employee in the video soon after the incident, before Live Action ever released the video. They said the employee did not handle the situation well, and as they strive for the best quality care for their patients, they let her go. But it still raises a question: if Planned Parenthood's goal is to make every child a wanted child (by aborting the unwanted ones), then what if a girl is unwanted while a boy would be? As they refuse to admit that they are involved in gendercide, they contradict one of their main ideas. They can't have it both ways.
Planned Parenthood said in one of their statements regarding the situation, "Planned Parenthood cares about staff, and conducts retraining or other personnel action responsibly." As Jill Stanek pointed out, they're caring about their staff by throwing them under the bus and not taking responsibility for their mistake?
