Patient Privacy Not the Issue

There’s been an epidemic of very young girls, like eleven or twelve, getting pregnant by adult men. In several states, authorities are trying to investigate Planned Parenthood abortion mills. It appears they’re giving these young girls abortions without reporting the criminal behavior of the men. Efforts to get access to patient records, even with personal information taken out, have been met with absolute opposition on the part of the abortion mills. They say the patient information is sacred and can’t be shared on any level. Compare this with a Michigan abortion mill where hundreds of patient records, with detailed information, were found in the dumpster, available to anyone. I don’t think it’s the patient’s privacy they’re guarding. Planned Parenthood doesn’t want to be implicated in aiding statutory rape.
