Abortion Clinics Fail to Report Child Abuse

Abortion Clinics Fail to Report

Child Abuse

Obvious abuse was ignored.

Education: John Blanks began to sexually abuse his daughter “Brandy” when she was 13. At 16, she became pregnant and her father brought her to Planned Parenthood for an abortion. In spite of the fact that her father stayed close by, Brandy was able to tell the staff that he was abusing her. But apparently no report was made, because the abuse continued for another year and a half until Brandy, at 18, had the courage to tell her school coach. After the authorities were notified, Banks was convicted of sexual battery and sentenced to 5 years in prison. (1)

Many state laws specify members of certain professions, such as health care workers, to be mandatory reporters of suspected child abuse.(2) Brandy is just one example of 60 cases described in a report from Life Dynamics, themselves only representative examples of even more. In each case, pregnant girls as young as 12 or 13 had been brought to Planned Parenthood or other abortion clinics, and yet in spite of the obvious evidence of sexual abuse, there is no evidence of reports being made by the clinic, since the abuse continued for years afterward. In the cases known, the victim eventually told someone else about the abuse, and once a report was made, the abuser was arrested and the abuse stopped immediately. It is well accepted that child abusers almost never stop abusing on their own, and mandatory reporting is a valuable tool to help these victims. How many other cases remain unknown because the victim never had the courage to report? And in spite of the later revelation, in these cases, that the victim had been brought to a clinic for an abortion, there is no evidence of any clinic being prosecuted for failure to report. (1)

This report, as the authors noted, does not address the problem of sexual predators buying abortion-causing drugs over the counter to administer to their victims, possibly without their knowledge.

Prayer: Dear Father God, please have mercy on girls who suffer sexual abuse. Help them to feel your consoling love, and give them courage to report the abuse. Touch the hearts of abortion workers to be sensitive to the evidence of abuse and to report these situations in order to end the abuse. We know that You have a beautiful plan for every child that You create; You make them in your own image and give them as a gift to the world, with the ability to build up your kingdom. Help these children, conceived in abuse, to be given life and to be raised in a home where they are respected and loved.

Action: The next time someone says that they condone abortion in the case of rape or incest, gently share that first, every child is a child of God, to be respected. But also, in the case of incest or child abuse, a pregnancy can be an occasion to force the incest to be reported and therefore stopped. But abortion clinics are not following the laws of mandatory reporting!
