Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey today announced a lawsuit against Planned Parenthood after an expose' video showed officials discussing how they take teen girls out of state for secret abortions.
As LifeNews previously reported, Project Veritas conducted an investigation just before Christmas this past year in which a journalist entered a Kansas City, Mo. clinic asking how to get an abortion for a 13-year-old.
"We can give a doctor's note," said the Planned Parenthood managing director known only by her first name, LeShauna, "We just cut off the letterhead." The undercover reporter asked the managing director how often they send minors into neighboring Kansas for the procedure.
The Missouri Attorney General credited Project Veritas with uncovering evidence of Planned Parenthood's criminal activity.
Bailey stated, "This lawsuit is a direct result of the investigation conducted by Project Veritas in November of 2023 that uncovered an agent of a Planned Parenthood clinic in Kansas City, brazenly committed to past, present, and future violations of this state's laws regarding proper parental consent notification, a conspiracy to traffic women out of state for abortions, and a conspiracy to conceal the sexual exploitation of children." The lawsuit filed today seeks a court order enjoining Planned Parenthood from concealing sexual offenses committed against minors, and for conspiring to transport minors across state lines for abortions in violation of state statute.
Bailey also called upon state policymakers to use the tools necessary to permanently defund Planned Parenthood.
Planned Parenthood could be facing administrative, civil, and criminal penalties.
