Planned Parenthood often has no qualms about lying to their supporters. Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood, sent a letter to her supporters saying the following about bill HB 15:
“This week, Gov. Perry and anti-women’s health legislators in Texas passed a bill that would force women seeking abortion care to view a sonogram….Stand with Planned Parenthood and Texas women: tell Gov. Perry to stop blocking women’s access to health care.”
HB 15 actually does not require a woman to view an ultrasound, it simply offers her the opportunity to do so. This is a blatant lie.

Eric Scheidler” Planned Parenthood CEO Lies about Blocked Texas Ultrasound Bill” September 8, 2011
Planned Parenthood, which performs a sonogram before each abortion as a matter of routine, opposes letting a woman see the image, even if she wants to. There have been many accounts from women who went into have abortions at Planned Parenthood and were not allowed to see the ultrasound screen or were strongly discouraged from doing so. They have no problem with lying to their supporters so they don’t realize how extreme their agenda is. A woman should not even be allowed the opportunity to view an ultrasound according to Planned Parenthood. After all, many women might change their mind after seeing one. Read about one woman and her reaction to seeing the ultrasound here.
Planned Parenthood has lied to their supporters about other issues too. Here is an example concerning a law that would’ve made abortion clinics meet the same medical and safety standards of other outpatient medical facilities. Planned Parenthood opposed this law, and lied about it.
