Planned Parenthood of Indiana has to show state investigators the medical records of some of its youngest patients, a judge ruled on Tuesday. The judge rejected the organization's contention that disclosing such records could have a chilling effect on patients across the state.
Since March, Attorney General Steve Carter has been seeking the records of more than 80 patients younger than 14, saying his Medicaid fraud unit is trying to determine whether children have been neglected because molesting incidents were not reported to the authorities as required. Under Indiana law, anyone under 14 who is sexually active is considered a victim of sexual abuse, and health providers are required to report such cases to the state authorities.
In his ruling, Judge Kenneth H. Johnson of Marion Superior Court denied the Planned Parenthood request for a preliminary injunction against Mr. Carter's office, which has obtained parts of 8 patients' records and is seeking the records of 76 others.
"The great public interest in the reporting, investigation and prosecution of child abuse trumps even the patient's interest in privileged communication with her physician, because in the end, both the patient and the state are benefited by the disclosure," Judge Johnson wrote in a 23-page decision...

Leftists don't have to obey no stinking laws.
New slogans for PP:
"We'd rather kill kids than help them"
or
"Hey molesters, need to get rid of DNA evidence? Call your local Planned Parenthood!"
Planned Parenthood is located mostly in the inner cities where they have killed mostly minority babies.
You have to wonder in such places how many 14 or under weren't reported in those places as well?
I think Planned Parenthood's idea is not to educate youth about the peril's of fornication but to teach them how to become baby factories for thier lucrative adoption services.
You know how much a white baby would go for today. Heck, I bet PP makes a cool quater million on one of those adoptions.
They rather kill minority children since most locations are in inner cities.
It is easier to kill them when they are concentrated.
You know, that is probably not too far from the truth. Or they are making baby factories in the inner cities for their lucrative adoption services.
They just don't feel real bad if the mother decides to abort. Also, these kids (if they are under 16 it's statuatory in almost every state) are being sexually abused. Whether they say they consent or not, in most cases the male is over 18 and in many cases it is molestation by a relative. These PP people have no morals and no sense of responsibility to their communities.
I think a good organized public picketing of PP sites throughout the nation might wake some people up. What do you say fellow FReepers? I think I know a PP just down the road from where I work. And, hey, wouldn't you know, it's in downtown.
Planned Parenthood ping.

Why the drop after 1960? (in deaths of women from illegal abortions)
The reasons were new and better antibiotics, better surgery and the establishment of intensive care units in hospitals. This was in the face of a rising population. Between 1967 and 1970 sixteen states legalized abortion. In most it was limited, only for rape, incest and severe fetal handicap (life of mother was legal in all states). There were two big exceptions California in 1967, and New York in 1970 allowed abortion on demand. Now look at the chart carefully.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Abortion Statistics - Decision to Have an Abortion (U.S.)
· 25.5% of women deciding to have an abortion want to postpone childbearing
· 21.3% of women cannot afford a baby
· 14.1% of women have a relationship issue or their partner does not want a child
· 12.2% of women are too young (their parents or others object to the pregnancy)
· 10.8% of women feel a child will disrupt their education or career
· 7.9% of women want no (more) children
· 3.3% of women have an abortion due to a risk to fetal health
2.8% of women have an abortion due to a risk to maternal health
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So how many womens lives have been saved by abortion?
Only about 3% of abortions since 1972 were reported to be due to a risk to maternal health. A reasonable person would recognize that not all of those cases represent a lethal risk. But lets say they did. That means that nearly 45 million fetuses were butchered to save the lives of about 1.3 million women. Or put another way; 35 babies are killed to save each woman.
Abortion was legal in all 50 states prior to Roe v. Wade in cases of danger to the life of the woman.
"12.2% of women are too young (their parents or others object to the pregnancy)"
Do you see anything odd about this from your post?

Its going to be a hell of a fight for planned parenthood to pull this one out of the bag.
There just aint any handy slogans to rally behind.
That and the truth of this fight is glaring.
Can't say that I do.
Planned Parenthood isn't a big promoter of adoptions.
Every PP has adoption literature, and every one of them have adoption services thay refer. They may not be actively motivating young women to choose them, but they do promote adoption.
Will someone please explain to me why the medicaid fraud unit is investigating this? That doesn't seem to make any sense. Most medicaid fraud units are staffed by forensic accountants.
I doubt that very many people realize that PP performs abortions on children. I must admit I was surprised and shocked to read this. I think a more effective 'protest' than picketing them is to spread this factual knowledge far and wide. I suspect there are many who would react negatively against PP if they knew little girls are being operated on by PP.
The word women is be applied to children. Just because a female human is pregnant doesn't mean that she is a woman. I don't believe that womanhood begins much before eighteen years of age if then.
