I’m not sure which is worse – the fact that Planned Parenthood officials helped victimize this girl by failing to carry out their legal (and moral) obligation to report her molestation by her father, or their attempt to dodge responsibility by accusing the victim’s supporters of victimizing her by supporting her efforts to hold Planned Parenthood accountable.
The suit in Ohio alleges that when the girl sought an abortion in November 2004 -- she was 16 years old at the time -- she told Planned Parenthood staff that her father was the baby's father and that he had been raping her since 2000.It alleges that the employees did not comply with Ohio law, which requires them to report suspicion of rape and incest to authorities. The suit charges that failure to report the rape led to another year and a half of abuse.
The girl, whom Cybercast News Service will not name because the crime was committed when she was a minor, is seeking $25,000 in damages "to compensate her for the severe harm she has suffered as a direct result of [Planned Parenthood's] breach of their duties owed her." She also asks the court to levy punitive damages against Planned Parenthood.
Becki Brenner, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Southwest Ohio, told Cybercast News Service Tuesday that she feels sorry for the girl who is suing her organization, calling her a victim of pro-life activists.
"I consider this woman a victim not only from her father and the abuse that occurred previously," Brenner said, "but I feel she's also being a victim from this court case and what's going on politically regarding this case."
Brenner has it exactly wrong here. The young woman is certainly the victim of her father, but is also the victim of Planned Parenthood. That the spokesperson of this criminal organization would blame those who are assisting the victim is incredibly low – but then again, given that the organization supports itself by murdering the unborn, why should we be surprised.
