Planned Parenthood protected woman’s abusive pimp, says former worker

Former Planned Parenthood director Abby Johnson’s book, “The Walls Are Talking: Former Abortion Clinic Workers Tell Their Stories,” contains the testimony of one former clinic worker who saw firsthand how willing her Planned Parenthood facility was to protect a woman’s pimp, even when it was clear the woman was being physically abused.

In the essay titled, “A Special Place in Hell,” a clinic worker writes about a woman named Diane, who was a prostitute and a frequent client at the facility.

For over ten years, Diane had been coming to Planned Parenthood regularly. As the clinic worker points out, she had four separate charts that were “dogeared and falling apart.”

The former clinic worker describes Diane’s visits:

The problem with this “nonjudgmental” attitude was that it was clear as day that Diane was in a deeply unhealthy situation. Repeated STDs, extensive physical abuse — these things would concern any legitimate health care provider. But Planned Parenthood, in its effort to promote sexual freedom, allowed Diane’s abuse to continue.

The former clinic worker describes one day when Diane came to the facility, accompanied by her pimp:

It should have been clear to the Planned Parenthood workers that Diane was being exploited. Her obvious injuries and fearful attitude were red flags showing that she was not participating in the sex trade of her own free will. Her obvious fear of her abusive pimp should have prompted the facility to take steps to protect her. But the facility ignored her plight. They were happy to take the pimp’s money and send Diane back to the street.

The former clinic worker goes on to say:

It is clear that Planned Parenthood failed Diane. What is unknown is how many other “Dianes” there are. How many women are Planned Parenthood allowing to be exploited? How many pimps are they helping? How many women and girls are suffering from their indifference? How long before we cut taxpayer funding to an organization that protects pimps and helps them exploit women?

In its sting videos, Live Action has documented multiple situations in which Planned Parenthood workers were willing to cover up the alleged sex trafficking of minors. Live Action sent a man posing as a pimp into different Planned Parenthood facilities to ask about birth control and abortions for his underage sex slaves. No fewer than seven Planned Parenthood facilities offered to help the alleged pimp and hide his sex ring from the authorities. They were more than willing to ignore and overlook his his claimed exploitation of young women.

In one case, a Planned Parenthood worker even gave the pimp advice on how to better run his sex slave “business”:

Planned Parenthood has shown itself willing to cover up sex trafficking and shield pimps from prosecution, caring more about its image than real care for young girls and women. Former Planned Parenthood manager, Ramona Trevino, shares what happens behind closed doors at Planned Parenthood:
