Planned Parenthood Conducts Clinical Trials
on Underage Girls
American Life League released a recent survey that reveals that at
least 10 Planned Parenthood clinical trials have been conducted on
underage girls as young as 13.
Twenty-eight Planned Parenthood affiliates have been involved in 33
clinical trials – some government funded – 10 of which involved young
girls. Two of the 33 total trials ended in the 1990s, the remaining 31
were conducted in the last seven years, and many are still ongoing.
Jim Sedlak, vice president of American Life League, conducted the
review.
Two of the trials in which girls as young as 14 participated dealt with
getting the girls to take birth control consistently by sending them
text message reminders.
“In most states, minor girls involved in sexual activity is considered
sex abuse and is illegal,” Sedlak said.
Other Planned Parenthood clinical trials involve African-American girls
as young as 13 and trials to increase the use of “emergency
contraception” (the morning after pill regimen) among girls as young as
14.
The nation’s largest abortion business is also involved in trials on
medical abortion techniques, birth control techniques, pain reduction
during abortion, sterilization, and IUD insertion, and a trial
assessing the safety and efficacy of a new “emergency contraceptive”
known as Ella.
Before closing in June 2009, Planned Parenthood of El Paso was involved
in clinical trials on Hispanic men and women with HIV. Planned
Parenthood of New York City is also involved in trials regarding
delivery of HIV health services.
Planned Parenthood affiliates conducting clinical trials on minors
include Planned Parenthood of Georgia, Planned Parenthood Mar Monte,
Planned Parenthood of Central North Carolina, Planned Parenthood League
of Massachusetts, Planned Parenthood of Maryland, Planned Parenthood of
Shasta-Diablo, Planned Parenthood Golden Gate, Virginia League of
Planned Parenthood, Planned Parenthood of New York City, and Planned
Parenthood of Houston and Southeast Texas. Other
Planned Parenthood
affiliates involved in the trials are listed in the review.
“As Planned Parenthood continues to spread its tentacles throughout our
country’s health care establishment, it is imperative that it be met
with resistance at every turn,” Sedlak said. “We encourage
everyone
who lives in the area serviced by the Planned Parenthood affiliates
mentioned in this report to launch educational campaigns against this
organization.”
