Planned Parenthood, along with other organisations, have said they will sue the Trump administration over the conscience rule for abortions. The rule allows health care professionals to opt out of offering abortions on religious or moral grounds.

In March this year Lenana Wen, Director of Planned Parenthood tweeted: “We face a real situation where Roe could be overturned. And we know what will happen, which is that women will die. Thousands of women died every year pre-Roe.”
The ultra-Liberal, Washington Post, who is no enemy to Planned Parenthood fact checked this statistic. There findings show it to be hugely exaggerated.
When the Post investigated the claim they discovered mortality rates were in serious decline for woman undergoing illegal abortions well before Roe vs. Wade. That annual deaths in their thousands, would only have been seen in the early 20th century before the use of antibiotics, when women died of sepsis after an abortion. Even then these statistics are estimates, as no reliable official records exist. In the years preceding Roe vs. Wade most illegal abortions were conducted by medical professionals acting illegally, but therefore done safely.
For Wen to be using such statistics, which she knows come from the pre-antibiotics era, is something that should be of concern to anyone with an interest in a truthful debate on the subject.

On Friday, a YouTube video of Florida legislators in a committee hearing was uploaded. They were shocked during the proceedings on a bill to require medical care to an infant who survives an abortion when a Planned Parenthood lobbyist endorsed a right to post-birth abortions.
The lobbyist representing the Florida Alliance of Planned Parenthood Affiliates, Alisa LaPolt Snow, testified that her organization believes the woman seeking an abortion and her abortion doctor should be the ones to make the decision to kill an infant who survives a failed abortion.
Rep. Jim Boyd: “So, um, it is just really hard for me to even ask you this question because I’m almost in disbelief. If a baby is born on a table as a result of a botched abortion, what would Planned Parenthood want to have happen to that child that is struggling for life?”
Planned Parenthood lobbyist Snow: “We believe that any decision that’s made should be left up to the woman, her family, and the physician.”
Rep. Daniel Davis: “What happens in a situation where a baby is alive, breathing on a table, moving. What do your physicians do at that point?”
Snow: “I do not have that information. I am not a physician, I am not an abortion provider. So I do not have that information.”
Later Rep. Jose Oliva continued: “You stated that a baby born alive on a table as a result of a botched abortion that that decision should be left to the doctor and the family. Is that what you’re saying?”
Snow: “That decision should be between the patient and the health care provider.”
Oliva: “I think that at that point the patient would be the child struggling on the table, wouldn’t you agree?”
Snow: “That’s a very good question. I really don’t know how to answer that. I would be glad to have some more conversations with you about this.”
