WARREN CO., Ohio, February 20, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A woman who suffered years of sexual abuse at the hands of her father filed a lawsuit today suing Planned Parenthood and five of its employees for refusing to report signs of abuse when she obtained an abortion, with the result that the abuse continued for another 1 1/2 years.
Prosecuting Attorney Brian Hurley told LifeSiteNews.com (LSN) that the Planned Parenthood employees "played ostrich" when the girl told them she was being raped.
"We believe that they ignored Denise's cry for help ... and as a result she was sexually abused three times a week for a year and a half because they didn't meet their duties to report," said Hurley.
Ohio law requires that Planned Parenthood employees report obvious signs of abuse.
Planned Parenthood has come under fire recently for a trend of failing to report sexual abuse and rape. In a project knows as the "Mona Lisa Project" UCLA student Lila Rose and her friend Jackie Stollar went undercover and videotaped PP employees conscientiously ignoring statutory rape. So far three different PP facilities have been caught covering up rape, which they were required by law to report to the authorities.
Denise, who is now 21, suffered sexual abuse by her father between the ages of 13 and 17. In 2004, when she was 16, Hurley says Denise's father took her to the Mount Auburn facility of Planned Parenthood of Southwest Ohio to seek an abortion after he had impregnated her.
When questioned by Planned Parenthood, the girl allegedly said "that she had been forced to do things that she did not want to do."
The abuse ended when Denise's father was arrested eighteen months after the Planned Parenthood visit, thanks to the intervention of the girl's basketball coach. He was sentenced to five years in prison in 2006.
Hurley is convinced that Planned Parenthood will be brought to justice for its negligence.
"She tried to put an end to this abuse by informing a Planned Parenthood employee that she had been forced to have sex and to do things she did not want to do. Tragically for her, Planned Parenthood's 'don't ask, don't tell' policy was in full force," Hurley told the Cincinnati Enquirer.

First you say to the posters "screw you..." and now the above.
Seems you hold yourself in very high and unwarranted esteem - above us all.
Thanks for the laugh...you ARE laughable, you know.

Willful ignorance, by a continuous complainer, looking for something to b***c about?
Any money that goes to that racist organization is blood money. I don't want my tax dollars going to kill those who are least able to protect themselves.
Or helping to hide sexual predators like Planned Parenthood is accused of doing in this case.
They are very evil.
I think you missed this in the article....
“When questioned by Planned Parenthood, the girl allegedly said “that she had been forced to do things that she did not want to do.”
Looks like she said something.
That should have been enough for a call to social services or the police.
How could he have only gotten 5 years for raping his own daughter?
Why do we have such weak rape and molestation laws?
Anybody sick enough to rape his daughter, get her an abortion,and continue to victimize her should never see the light of day!
I just don’t get it!
Oh, yeah,
you put this evidence in front of any pro-abort (”had-abort”) lib and they’ll deny it, call you a liar, or say that PP does more good than harm, so must not be challenged in any way.
(”had-abort” is what the abortion issue is all about)
Hey did you know abortion clinics are above the law?
Yea, they get away with murder! ha ha ha funny -not...
Here is a forum that needs some more Pro-Life conservatives to take the balance away from the wiccans and libs.

It’s a site with 200,000+ registered members who are mostly mom’s and women that had it’s current events forum taken over and everytime anyone tries to disagree with the lib agenda they get banned from the site.
The link above is to an abortion thread.
Just thought I’d post this here too
How do we know that he isn’t going to get his vengeance for her speaking out? It would be up to someone to protect the girl for the rest of her life. It would be up to someone who knows her to direct her to the nearest women’s shelter. If she doesn’t have anyone in her life who cares then it would seem there is no hope.
Sadly, that just might be true, and that’s beyond not fair!
If I were her, I would even think about changing my identity.
When he gets out, he may not want to get her back , however. He may just start looking for another victim.
Lets face it, he IS going to do it to someone else. This is why I don’t understand our laws. Why do we allow these people back on the streets to do it again and again?
t
This is way over the line.
Miss Langtree, please don’t let this lowlife drag you down into the mud. You’re too good for that.
