Planned Parenthood Abortion-Ban Panel Declares War on Pro-life and Abstinence

Speaker calls them “ruthless attacks on reproductive freedom.”

Planned Parenthood, the world’s largest purveyor of abortion, held an abortion-ban panel in Washington D.C. launching the organization’s plan of action against the growing pro-life and pro-abstinence-education movement in the United States. The panel took place on June 22.


South Dakota and Louisiana have passed abortion bans, with Louisiana’s coming into effect only if Roe v. Wade is overturned. The panel primarily debated these states and others considering bills or enforcing laws regulating abortion services.

Jatrice Gaiters, president of Metropolitan Washington Planned Parenthood said, “While we are working on prevention these ruthless attacks on reproductive freedom will affect all of us wherever we live…We must ask ourselves: Are we ready to sacrifice women for a political ideology?”

“Sadly, women, like young Holly Patterson, have had their lives sacrificed by Planned Parenthood’s unconscionable abortion practices. Countless women have suffered from abortion complications, including death. And yet these activists place access to abortion above women’s lives,” said Wendy Wright, President of Concerned Women for America (CWA).

According to a Planned Parenthood fact sheet, the organization considers eight states as having “extremist, anti-choice legislation.” These states are Arizona, Georgia, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, Oklahoma and Utah. [More]
