and date. EVERY SINGLE LETTER MAKES A DIFFERENCE.
Planned Parenthood (PP) receives over $310 million annually from the
federal government alone. An example of their work enticing youngsters
into sex, pregnancy and
abortion can be found at:

These are used as commercials on MTV.
PP supports partial-birth abortions and objects to safety
regulations at abortion facilities. Planned Parenthood is suing Missouri
to prevent a law requiring abortion facilities to ensure the safety of
women, saying it would cost $600K and they can’t afford it.
In addition, PP does not always follow the law on reporting statutory
rape. See: http://www.all.org/stopp/wsr070530.htm
A letter to corporations could be constructed based on that material.

Dear Ms. Nelson:
You may wish to reconsider contributing to Planned Parenthood. They do
not always report the statutory rape of young girls who are brought to
their facilities for abortions. Here is information on some of these
cases:
Arizona: A 12-year-old girl was raped and then aborted. PP did NOT report
the crime. The same girl was taken to PP six months later for another
abortion and that time PP did report. The rapist was arrested and
convicted. The girl sued Planned Parenthood, and a judge ruled that PP
was negligent for not initially reporting the rape.
California: An 11-year-old girl told PP she was raped, but asked PP not
to tell anyone. The law requires, regardless of the girl’s desires, that
when an 11-year-old is raped, it must be reported. PP featured a letter
from the girl on its web site praising PP for keeping the rape secret.
Ohio: A 16-year-old-girl was forced to have an abortion at PP. She told
PP that her father was abusing her. PP did not report the abuse and the
father continued to rape the girl for 18 months. The girl filed a lawsuit
against PP for refusing to report the rapes. The same Planned Parenthood
affiliate is being sued for not reporting the rape of a 14-year-old girl
by her soccer coach.
Connecticut: A 22-year-old man was arrested for impregnating and having a
14-year-old aborted three times in six months. Newspaper reports say it
was the girl’s mother who alerted authorities, not the abortion facility.
Life Dynamics of Denton, Texas did a telephone survey of PP abortion
facilities and found that 90% of them would cover up and not report the
sexual abuse of statutory rape. They found that when a child predator
takes a young girl he has impregnated to PP for an abortion, it will not
be reported and the predator is free to continue abusing the minor. See
http://www.childpredators.com/ for recordings of the survey calls.
Please consider donating to organizations which always observe the law
with regard to sexual predators.
Kansas: On Oct. 17, 2007 A District Judge decided there was cause to
proceed with a 107-count grand jury indictment against Planned Parenthood
of Kansas and Mid-Missouri. The charges are for unlawful late-term
abortions and other abortion connected crimes. The prosecution alleges
violation of state and federal laws and falsification of documents to
justify those acts.
Please consider donating only to law-abiding organizations.
It is noteworthy that Planned Parenthood endorses a pornographic book for
ten-year-olds. See http://www.all.org/newsroom_allreport.php for the
disgusting details.
Do you want your company to have the reputation of contributing to an
organization that endorses child pornography?
Sincerely
(Name/address)

Dear Ms. Nelson:
I understand that you support Planned Parenthood. Newly released data
reveals that for the 2005-2006 fiscal year, Planned Parenthood had a
record income of $902.8 million and a profit of $56 million. ("Strength
in
diversity, united in purpose,” Planned Parenthood annual report, 6/07).
Additionally, Planned Parenthood has made a total profit of $649.6
million since 1987.
Planned Parenthood has received $3.9 billion (yes, that’s billion) in
taxpayer money since 1987.
Planned Parenthood spends $45 million a year on sex education
programs in an effort to sexualize our children.
Planned Parenthood’s abortion business provides 31 percent of its clinic
income.
Planned Parenthood kills over 264,000 babies each year in its facilities.
Planned Parenthood does 180 abortions for every one adoption referral.
Planned Parenthood committed 19.8 percent of abortions in the United
States in 2004.
Over 3.8 million babies have died in Planned Parenthood facilities.
Planned Parenthood has located almost 80% of their abortion
facilities in black neighborhoods, and black women have 35% of the
abortions in the
U.S. So Planned Parenthood has killed over 1.3 million black babies.
Planned Parenthood is a very successful business, but it is a disaster
for
America. It contributes to the spread of debilitating diseases, has
killed more people than currently live in many of our states, and has
done it all under the guise of a “charitable” organization with 39
percent of its funding coming from our hard-earned
wages (http://www.all.org/newsroom_commentary.php).
Please stop supporting Planned Parenthood.
It is noteworthy that Planned Parenthood endorses a pornographic book for
ten-year-olds. See http://www.all.org/newsroom_allreport.php for the
disgusting details. Do you want your company to have the reputation of
contributing to an organization that endorses child pornography?

Dear Ms. Nelson:
Life Dynamics, Inc., (LDI) of Denton, Texas suspected that PP and other
abortion providers were not reporting the statutory rape of young girls
seeking abortions. They conducted a telephone survey of PP facilities in
states where it is legal to record telephone conversations. The survey
showed that over 90% of the time PP personnel told young girls they would
cover up their sexual abuse by adult males. PP is fighting the release of
the records of these crimes to prevent prosecution of adult males.
A copy of a statement from LDI is attached.
At the web site, http://www.childpredators.com/Tapes.cfm, click on Audio
and you
can listen to tape recordings of conversations in which PP personnel
encourage concealing the sexual exploitation of young girls.
Since the 1973 Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton Supreme Court decisions
decriminalizing abortion throughout pregnancy, abortion has become a
major part of PP’s business. The PP 2003/2004 Annual Report shows PP
aborted 138 babies for every adoption referral.
Abortion revenue was $104 million. Their total revenue was $810 million -
$265 million was from
government grants and contracts. PP has relentlessly targeted minorities
for decades with disastrous results for black families (see enclosed
pamphlet).
PP has a web site, http://www.teenwire.com, which seeks to separate teens from
their parents and tempts teens with titillating material encouraging
sexual activity. PP fights every attempt to require them to inform
parents if their minor daughter has an abortion. PP also fights every
attempt to inform women of the medical and psychological risks of
abortion surgery, and even fights against medical standards for abortion
facilities to protect women.
To protect its abortion business, PP continues to fight against giving
women the option to anesthetize their babies over 20 weeks
and spare them the excruciating pain experts say occurs during a
thirty-minute D & E abortion!
It is noteworthy that Planned Parenthood endorses a pornographic book for
ten-year-olds.
See http://www.all.org/newsroom_allreport.php for the disgusting details.
PP knows well that contraceptives have a high failure rate for teens
(pregnancy occurs) and that condoms do not prevent viral sexually
transmitted diseases, yet they promote them to teens which increases the
pressure for teens to engage in sexual activity. The CDC released a
report which recommends abstinence as the only way to prevent contracting
the cervical cancer causing STD, Human Papilloma Virus. Consumer Reports
(2/05) evaluated condoms and rated condoms PP dispenses at 14, 22 and 23
out of 23 - a very poor recommendation.
The National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy (NCPTP) in an April 2001
report said teens can’t manage a contraceptive regime, “Remaining
abstinent is a tough challenge but using contraception carefully and
consistently is an equally tall order, because most contraceptive methods
require both motivation and a constancy of attention and action that are
difficult for even married adults to maintain let alone teenagers.”
Dr. Meg Meeker in her book, Epidemic - How Teen Sex Is Killing Our Kids,
says there are at least 25 epidemics of different STDs. She previously
prescribed oral contraceptives and condoms for teens before she realized
the degree of the STD epidemics. She describes the STDs teens carry this
way: “Picture a football stadium filed with teenagers. One out of five of
those cheering kids has herpes (at least, that we know of). [Meaning that
there are many more asymtomatic infections.] Every third girl in
the stands has HPV, and one out of ten has chlamydia. If we pulled all
the
healthy kids out of there, leaving just those infected with an STD, the
stadium would be nearly half full.”
She continues: “.condoms do little to prevent many viral infections
spread by skin-to-skin contact, especially HPV and herpes. We’ve talked
for decades about ‘safe sex’ and while condoms are somewhat effective at
birth control, when it comes to STDs, the best they can do is reduce the
risk of infection. And the risk reduction is minimal and in some cases
nonexistent.”
PP’s refusal to report teen sex abuse, enticing children into sexual
activity, refusing to warn teens of the pregnancy and STD risks of sexual
activity, refusing to let parents know of teens’ abortions and refusing
to inform women of the risks of abortion and opposing medical standards
indicate their actions are designed to boost their abortion profits. PP
targets poor black women, concentrating 78% of their abortion facilities
in black neighborhoods which is seriously undermining black families with
disastrous results for all. And finally we see PP endorsing child
pornography.
Not a very complimentary commentary.
Again, we urge you to review the information in this letter and rethink
your support of Planned Parenthood, along with 157 other corporations who
stopped contributing to PP when they learned more about their operations.
Please refrain from damaging your corporation’s fine reputation by
helping to fund the anti-social behavior of PP described above.
Please help to improve the moral climate in our country and protect
children and families by discontinuing your contributions to Planned
Parenthood.
Sincerely,
(Your name and address)
Attachment: LDI Statement
Abortion & Child Abuse Caught on Tape - Planned Parenthood & NAF conceal
child abuse
Planned Parenthood clinics, National Abortion Federation clinics and
others in the abortion clinic business make their money by selling
abortions, birth control pills, pregnancy tests and treatments for
sexually transmitted diseases. But in order to increase their sales to
minors, they have been ignoring child abuse reporting laws and promising
to conceal statutory rape and ongoing child sexual assault.
We have over 800 tape recordings that show how Planned Parenthood and NAF
abortion workers secure business from victims of statutory rape by
undermining parental authority, encouraging children to lie and promising
minors that their employees will ignore mandatory reporting laws.
Hundreds of Planned Parenthood clinic and National Abortion Federation
clinic employees have been caught on tape expressing their willingness to
conceal the statutory rape of a 13-year-old girl by a 22-year-old man.
Even though many of these Planned Parenthood and NAF employees openly
acknowledged that statutory rape is a crime and that they are required by
law to report it, they made it clear that they do not abide by the law.
The evidence on these tapes indicates that it is the policy and practice
of these Planned Parenthood clinics to ignore mandatory reporting laws.
Abortion clinics profit by selling clandestine abortions to children, so
clearly clinic operators like Planned Parenthood and the National
Abortion Federation have decided that the welfare of children must be
sacrificed for the sake of clinic profits.
If our statements weren’t true, Planned Parenthood would sue!
Planned Parenthood & the National Abortion Federation routinely profit
off the sexual exploitation of underage girls by selling products and
services that help the perpetrators of child abuse and statutory rape
conceal their crimes. Because it is true, we can say this without fear of
being sued for business defamation.
All across America, clinics run by Planned Parenthood and NAF have
demonstrated that they will knowingly help to cover up the statutory rape
of a 13-year-old girl by a 22-year-old man. Many times clinic employees
will even give a minor advice on how to protect the man who is committing
this abuse from being discovered by law enforcement. Of course, Planned
Parenthood and other abortion clinic operators realize that if they help
men to conceal their sexual abuse of underage girls, then those men will
gladly continue to pay for the services that the clinics want to sell to
their underage victims.
While ignoring the mandatory reporting laws in order to turn underage
girls into customers is surely profitable for Planned Parenthood, it is
still illegal. These laws were enacted to help law enforcement catch
adults who have sex with children. However, abortion clinics benefit from
adult men having sex with underage girls, because the ongoing sexual
abuse of minors produces customers for future sales.
Planned Parenthood and other abortion clinics that protect the men who
prey on underage girls must be stopped. We will press for criminal
prosecutions against abortion workers that help adult sexual predators to
evade detection and we will work to encourage the victims of this
practice to pursue civil lawsuits against these clinics.

pursue damage claims against those who may have concealed the abuse of
their child.
