Planned Parenthood Hurts Women and Children

Comments are taken from "Statements of material fact" in the court case which involves HB116 (informed concent), which puts Planned Parenthood vs. Rounds/Long/Alpha Center/Black Hills Pregnancy Center.


  • Planned Parenthood admits that they have NEVER done an emergency abortion at its Sioux Falls facility and they have NEVER done an abortion because of a serious risk to the health of the pregnant mother.

  • The doctor has a duty to both the pregnant mother AND the unborn child. He has a duty to inform the mother of the adverse consequences of a procedure on her unborn child. Planned Parenthood breaches its duty to the pregnant mother.

  • Planned Parenthood provides NO services that help a woman keep her relationship with her child, they only involve themselves in terminating that relationship.

  • Dr. McCreary and Dr. Van Oppen(who both perform abortions in South Dakota) have pecuniary(financial) interests that are in conflict with the rights of the pregnant mother, such that if the women decides to keep her child, Dr. McCreary or Dr. Van Oppen do not get paid.

  • Intervenors obtained a document that Planned Parenthood disseminates entitled "Choosing Abortion." On the fourth page of the pamphlet a box containing a bold "warning." It states, in part:

"Warning"

"Hundreds of so-called "crisis pregnancy centers" scare women about abortion. They lie about medical and emotional effects of abortion."

(SO WE HAVE PLANNED PARENTHOOD, WHO ADMITTEDLY "DOES NOT HELP WOMEN KEEP THEIR BABIES", GIVING INFORMATION TO DISCOURAGE WOMEN TO VISIT CENTERS THAT WOULD HELP THEM KEEP THEIR BABIES)-Very Interesting!!
