Image of Abortion Giant as Provider of Care Crumbles as Systemic Rot Exposed
Planned Parenthood’s carefully curated image as a women’s health provider is unraveling — not because of political spin, but because of their own failures. Let Them Live and co-founders Emily and Nathan Berning are sounding the alarm as Week 3 of their campaign, “Botched Care,” exposes the systemic rot beneath the surface of the nation’s largest abortion provider.
Even The New York Times — historically sympathetic to Planned Parenthood — now acknowledges what pro-life advocates have been warning about for years: internal chaos, abusive conditions, and disillusioned staff. The article confirms widespread dysfunction, validating what countless women have already experienced firsthand.
• Women Hurt, Not Helped
Firsthand accounts from women who suffered trauma, botched procedures, and abandonment.
• Substandard Clinics
Reports of unsanitary tools, expired medications, failed health inspections, and unsafe conditions.
• Unqualified, Overworked Staff
Undertrained personnel, chronic staff shortages, and reckless shortcuts — all putting patients at risk.
• Cover-Ups & Silence
Alarming instances of abuse and statutory rape ignored or left unreported.
• Lobbying Over Care
Millions funneled into political efforts instead of improving patient care or safety.
• No Audits. No Oversight.
Unlike other nonprofits, Planned Parenthood evades meaningful accountability and regulatory review.
Patients report trauma, abandonment, and botched procedures. Clinics are being cited for unsanitary tools, expired medications, failed health inspections, and shockingly low standards of care. Many of these facilities are staffed by overworked, undertrained personnel who cut corners and make mistakes — often with devastating consequences.
Worse, there are documented instances of statutory rape and abuse that were ignored or concealed. The organization that claims to care about women has actively covered up crimes against them.
While real women suffer, Planned Parenthood directs millions toward lobbying and political activism instead of improving safety and care. Unlike other nonprofits, they escape genuine regulatory oversight. There are no independent audits. No federal accountability. No transparency.
Spokespeople from Let Them Live, including founders Emily and Nathan Berning, are available to speak on this unfolding crisis. They offer powerful insight into how the abortion industry’s failures are harming vulnerable women — and how real support, not abortion, is the answer.
Let Them Live exists to help abortion-minded women choose life by meeting their financial needs and giving them the hope they’ve been denied by the abortion industry.
