Planned Parenthood Among Youth Gender Facilities Now Under Investigation
The nation’s largest abortion mill is included with facilities that may have been giving transgender drugs to children without parental consent
The nation’s largest abortion mill appears to have become a prolific purveyor of transgender “medicine” and is now refusing to cooperate with an investigation into its practices of giving such drugs to minors without parental consent in Missouri.
“We anticipate that there’s going to be negative findings from our investigation into Planned Parenthood,” Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey, a Republican, told Tony Perkins of the investigation.
Bailey’s office recently invoked the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act (MMPA) to probe the abortion mill, which empowers the state to probe goods or services that “[p] a risk of, or causes, substantial injury to consumers,” as LifeNews reported.
When Planned Parenthood refused to hand over records, citing a conflict with the Health Insurance Portability Accountability Act (HIPAA), St. Louis Circuit Judge Michael Stelzer ruled that Bailey has broad investigative powers when the consumer is in possible need of protection,” since he is “investigating possible dishonesty by [Planned Parenthood] in their medical and billing practices.”
The attorney general explained to Perkins that other clinics in the state under investigation along with Planned Parenthood “have a very poor history of informing parents about the dangers and the negative consequences associated with the … prescription of life-altering, powerful puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones when there are zero FDA approvals for use of those medications in the treatment of gender dysphoria.”
“There’s no medicine or science to back up these life-altering procedures, and that these clinics raced towards these procedures to achieve a social objective,” Bailey said of one of the primary clinics involved in the probe last year.
“There were no clinical assessments done on the front end to determine whether the children would be better suited receiving more traditional mental health services, and certainly no tracking of the negative outcomes from these dangerous [drugs].”
