According to House Minority Leader John Boehner:
Several years ago, a 14-year-old Ohio girl walked into a Planned Parenthood clinic in Cincinnati, accompanied by her soccer coach, John Haller. He was 21 years old and began having sex with the girl when she was only 13. Now that she was pregnant, Haller wanted her to have an abortion.
Rather than notify the parents - as is required under Ohio law - Planned Parenthood called the soccer coach's cell phone for consent. They not only failed to question the man (who had a different last name from the teenager and paid for the abortion with his credit card), but even administered a birth control shot to the young girl - also paid for by Haller. And they and gave her a bag of condoms so that Haller could continue his sexual abuse of the girl after the abortion.
As the father of two beautiful girls, I must tell you ... this story is the stuff of nightmares.
Despite Planned Parenthood's neglect, the parents of the Cincinnati teenager eventually found out about her abortion and the sexual abuse perpetrated by her soccer coach. John Haller was convicted of seven counts of sexual battery and was sentenced to three years in prison.
But the nightmare was not over. The question remains - how many stories like this have occurred in Planned Parenthood's abortion clinics across the country? How many young girls will suffer without someone standing up to protect them? Without someone to say this is wrong and should not be tolerated?
A dispute arose over whether Planned Parenthood should be required to turn over documents that might establish a pattern of failing to follow Ohio parental involvement and mandatory sexual crime reporting laws.
I again teamed up with Americans United for Life to file an amicus brief in this case - a case that generated shock and outrage throughout Ohio by exposing just how far Planned Parenthood will go to perform abortions, even on children.
