Planned Parenthood Claims It Has a Right to Traffic Teens for Secret Abortions
The Planned Parenthood abortion business has filed a countersuit against the state of Missouri claiming it has a right to traffic teenage girls to other states for secret abortions.
Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey is suing Planned Parenthood, accusing the organization of illegally transporting minors across state lines for abortions without parental consent, a practice he calls a “relentless assault” on parental rights.
Planned Parenthood Great Plains now claims a new state constitutional amendment grants them the right to facilitate such procedures.

Bailey’s legal action alleges that Planned Parenthood has been caught on camera admitting to creating fake doctors’ notes to remove minors from school, transporting them to out-of-state abortion clinics, and returning them without their parents’ knowledge. The lawsuit cites Missouri law, which prohibits intentionally aiding a minor in obtaining an abortion in another state without parental consent.
“Our children deserve to be protected—not trafficked across state lines for dangerous and clandestine abortion procedures,” Bailey said in a statement. “Planned Parenthood’s countersuit is a disgraceful attempt to twist the law into a shield for its reckless and immoral behavior.”
As LifeNews previously reported, Project Veritas conducted an investigation in which a journalist entered a Kansas City, Mo. clinic asking how to get an abortion for a 13-year-old. The male reporter was met with certainty and confidence from the staff that although the procedure is illegal in Missouri, the minor could be sent to Kansas for the procedure, and no one would need to know. This not only includes parents, but staff at the school.
“We can give a doctor’s note,” said the Planned Parenthood managing director known only by her first name, LeShauna, “We just cut off the letterhead.”
The undercover reporter asked the managing director how often they send minors into neighboring Kansas for the procedure.
“Every day,” she said, and repeated, “every day.”
The dispute centers on Amendment 3, a measure recently passed by Missouri voters that Planned Parenthood argues establishes a constitutional right to abortion, including facilitating abortions for minors. Bailey, however, contends the amendment is being exploited to undermine parental rights and state laws designed to protect young women.
“Opponents of Amendment 3 warned that it was a legal monstrosity that bad actors would exploit,” Bailey said. “Planned Parenthood is taking it one step further by also undermining parental rights and exploiting young women. They should be ashamed.”
Bailey’s office has vowed to continue fighting what it calls Planned Parenthood’s “open defiance” of state law.
The case is expected to test the boundaries of Amendment 3 and could have broader implications for abortion access and parental rights across state lines. A court date has not yet been set.
The lawsuit seeks a court order enjoining Planned Parenthood from concealing sexual offenses committed against minors, and for conspiring to transport minors across state lines for abortions in violation of state statute. Bailey also called upon state policymakers to use the tools necessary to permanently defund Planned Parenthood. As part of the lawsuit the AG’s office will be conducting its own investigation. Planned Parenthood could be facing administrative, civil, and criminal penalties.
