Should Planned Parenthood Be Defunded for Providing Hormone Treatments to Minors Without Parental Consent?
Should Planned Parenthood Be Defunded for Providing Hormone Treatments to Minors Without Parental Consent?
Here’s The Scoop
In a shocking revelation, a recent report from the pro-life group Live Action has uncovered that Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider, is now offering hormone treatments to minors as young as 16 with minimal parental consent and oversight. This discovery raises serious concerns about the organization’s practices and their impact on vulnerable youth.
The investigation involved a woman posing as a 16-year-old, who contacted several Planned Parenthood clinics across different states seeking “gender-affirming care.” Astonishingly, seven clinics were ready to prescribe hormones after just one appointment. Some clinics even offered virtual consultations, promising access to cross-sex hormones on the same day, despite the caller indicating she had only recently considered transitioning.
Alarmingly, five clinics confirmed that no prior therapy, mental health evaluation, or documentation was necessary to obtain these powerful drugs. This lack of due diligence highlights Planned Parenthood’s role not just in abortion services but also as a leading distributor of sex-change drugs, raising ethical and medical concerns.
Lila Rose, founder of Live Action, has condemned these practices, calling them a “chilling reality” that fast-tracks minors into irreversible treatments with little oversight. She emphasized the severe consequences, stating, “These dangerous drugs can sterilize, stunt growth, and leave lifelong scars. This is not healthcare. It is child abuse, and it must be stopped.”
The issue of gender transition treatments for minors has been a hot topic, with Dr. Eithan Haim, a whistleblower from Texas Children’s Hospital, testifying before Congress about the detrimental effects of these practices. Dr. Haim courageously spoke out, risking his career to highlight how these treatments are “destroying children’s lives” and turning them into chronic medical patients.
Live Action and Lila Rose are urging Congress to take decisive action by defunding Planned Parenthood, which receives over $700 million in taxpayer dollars annually. Rose stated, “It’s time for Congress and the president to act and defund this abusive corporation.”
Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson has echoed these sentiments, pledging to follow former President Donald Trump’s agenda to strip Planned Parenthood of federal funding. This move could mark a significant shift in how taxpayer dollars are allocated, ensuring they are not used to support practices that many believe harm children and undermine parental rights.
As the debate over gender transition treatments for minors continues, it is crucial for lawmakers and the public to scrutinize these practices and demand accountability from organizations like Planned Parenthood.

Planned Parenthood has never been pro parent or pro family. I don’t want my tax dollars funding such a devious organization

They shouldn’t be defunded, no, but they should be ordered to stop any and all cross-gender treatments as such is completely outside their purview.
“Gender-affirming care” is telling a boy “You are a boy and no amount of chemical or surgical mutilation designed to make you more closely resemble a girl will ever be able to actually make you a girl because, you know, YOU’RE A BOY!” followed by psychotherapy to disabuse him of his delusion that he’s a girl. One’s gender and one’s sex are exactly the same thing. They are immutable biologic fact, not “preference” nor “choice” nor “delusion-become-reality”.

Planned Parent hood started with Margaret Sanger so that she could rid the world of BLACKS it started out for BLACK Abortion, She was EXTREMELY RACIST and HATED Black People the same way Hitler Hated the JEWS, then she conned the Tax payer into funding her Baby killing program.

Demonstrate for us a single instance where they “killed a baby”. You won’t find one. It’s not a “baby” until it’s born, alive. Until then it’s just a parasite with the POTENTIAL to become a baby. I don’t really care about the beliefs of its founder – Planned Parenthood is a good group when they stay in their lane. The thing is, no one FORCES a ‘thumper to utilize their services and no ‘thumper should be able to prevent others from doing so: it’s a case of MYOFB.

Planned parenthood should be DEFUNDED! They are a bad organization! Not only are they aborting babies, partial birth abortions, and doing this providing children with hormones against their parents wishes – they are also selling off baby parts, stem cells and more. They are not there for the women they claim to help, they are there to abort their babies because they turns into a lot of money for them. They don’t need our money! That is a waste of our tax money!
