A conservative legal firm filed a complaint with the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies on Wednesday on behalf of Colorado Family Action, a religious advocacy group, alleging that a Colorado Planned Parenthood clinic failed to learn of and report the sexual abuse of a 13-year-old girl, and performed an abortion in 2012 without notifying her parent.
The complaint filed by the Alliance Defending Freedom alleges that the teen was sexually abused by her stepfather, who raped her and brought her to the Rocky Mountain Planned Parenthood clinic for an abortion — the same clinic that is the focus of a fourth undercover video that allegedly shows a doctor discussing the sale of fetal parts.
The girl, known in court documents as “R.Z.,” was then reportedly returned to her stepfather’s custody and the molestation is said to have continued. After learning of the purported year’s long abuse, the teen’s mother, Cary Smith, later filed a lawsuit in Denver District Court against the Planned Parenthood clinic over its alleged failure to report the abuse as well as the abortion that took place on May 2, 2012.
At the center of the lawsuit and complaint was the idea that the young girl was allegedly not counseled about her pregnancy, nor was the mother notified that the procedure would be conducted, according to a 2014 Washington Times report.
These tactics by Planned Parenthood have been exposed before. However, the mainstream media never catches on because to criticize Planned Parenthood would be against the liberal code that Democrats and the media share.
It will be interesting, though, to see how Planned Parenthood’s Cecile Richards tries to spin this case.
We expect it will be something like “Planned Parenthood focuses on preventive care like mammograms, birth control, STD testing, cancer screenings and blah blah blah blah.”
