Doctors Allege Planned Parenthood May Be Committing Fraud to Cover Up Sex-Change Procedures

Transgender, , ,

Health experts are alleging that Planned Parenthood may be committing fraud to hide the reason it is giving cross-sex hormones to patients — including minors.

According to a report from the Washington Examiner, Planned Parenthood facilities in Pennsylvania have been using a billing code for “endocrine disorder, unspecified” when prescribing cross-sex hormones, rather than using the accurate billing code for gender identity disorder. Multiple physicians say this practice could amount to fraud.

Dr. Miriam Grossman testified before the Federal Trade Commission last year that the use of these alternative billing codes is intentional — done specifically to ensure payment for procedures that might otherwise be denied.

Besides being the nation’s leading abortionist, Planned Parenthood has also become a major provider of gender-transition drugs and procedures. As we have reported before, Planned Parenthood facilities in Arkansas both advertise so-called “gender-affirming care” on their websites.

Pro-lifers have also reported that Planned Parenthood is willing to prescribe cross-sex hormones to teenagers — sometimes at the very first appointment, without any mental health evaluation.

While Planned Parenthood continues to promote sex-change procedures, medical experts are sounding the alarm about how dangerous these procedures can be — especially for children.

Whistleblowers have come forward testifying about how they were rushed through gender transitions as children without understanding the procedures’ risks, consequences, or alternatives, and public health experts and policymakers in the U.S., the U.K., Sweden, Finland, and other nations have found that science simply does not support “gender transitions” for kids.

In 2021, lawmakers in Arkansas passed the Save Adolescents from Experimentation (SAFE) Act. This good law generally prohibits doctors from performing sex-change procedures on children or giving them puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones.

A federal court upheld the SAFE Act last year — meaning it is protecting children in Arkansas at this very moment.

Arkansas was the first state in America to enact a law like the SAFE Act, but since 2021 lawmakers in more than half the country have passed similar legislation. These measures are on the books, protecting children from the kinds of drugs and hormones Planned Parenthood sells. That’s something to celebrate.

Story Underscores How Commercial Surrogacy Hurts Women and Unborn Children

Bioethics, Surrogacy, , , , ,

A recent story from the pro-life group Live Action underscores how commercial surrogacy contracts turn women and unborn children into commodities.

In commercial surrogacy, corporate agencies hire women to carry children for paying customers. But if those customers back out of the contract, they may pressure the surrogate to abort the child. Live Action writes:

Unlike many other countries, the United States has relatively few restrictions on surrogacy — and that’s a problem.

News outlets have reported that a sex offender convicted of crimes involving children was able to obtain a child through surrogacy in Pennsylvania as a result of lax state regulations.

The Daily Wire recently visited several homes in Houston that the State of Texas says are helping Chinese nationals travel to the U.S. on tourist visas “for the sole purpose of giving birth.”

Last year The Wall Street Journal uncovered how Chinese billionaires are taking advantage of America’s surrogacy industry to create what some call “mega-families” with dozens or even hundreds of children.

The Wall Street Journal also has written about allegations of financial fraud among commercial surrogacy businesses.

In December, The New York Times and NBC News both reported about investigations into a surrogacy agency that abruptly shutdown, causing clients to lose an estimated $2 – $5 million total.

The list goes on.

Stories like these underscore why social commentators and policymakers worldwide have raised concerns about commercial surrogacy.

It’s bad when commercial surrogacy goes wrong — but it’s important to remember that surrogacy never “goes right” either.

Commercial surrogacy deliberately deprives children of their biological mothers or fathers.

It treats pregnancy like a “service” that can be purchased, and it treats women like commodities.

Human beings are not products that can be made to order and sold at a profit, but that is what commercial surrogacy does to unborn children. That’s why it’s essential for policymakers to enact real restrictions on commercial surrogacy contracts and agencies.
