Bailey stated, "This lawsuit is a direct result of the investigation conducted by Project Veritas in November of 2023 that uncovered an agent of a Planned Parenthood clinic in Kansas City, brazenly committed to past, present, and future violations of this state's laws regarding proper parental consent notification, a conspiracy to traffic women out of state for abortions, and a conspiracy to conceal the sexual exploitation of children.”

Additionally, the Attorney General raised concerns that the abortion provider abandoned its legal duty as a mandatory reporter of child sexual abuse.

In the original investigation produced by Project Veritas, a journalist posed as the older uncle of a 13-year-old seeking Planned Parenthood’s assistance to terminate his niece’s pregnancy quickly and secretly. The clinic director is seen on camera expressing eager willingness to help the journalist conceal the abortion.

“What is contained in the investigative video produced by Project Veritas is deplorable. Planned Parenthood by state statute is a mandatory reporter for any sexual offenses against children. And yet in the video, an agent of Planned Parenthood is committed to concealing the fact that a 13-year-old who cannot legally consent to sexual conduct has experienced sexual abuse. This should disgust anyone concerned about the health and safety of women and children in the state of Missouri,” said Attorney General Bailey.

The clinic director also described the elaborate system Planned Parenthood has designed to bypass parental consent of minor abortions by setting up hotels, arranging inter-state transport, providing doctor’s notes to the child’s school, and even paying for the abortion.

She casually explained that this inter-state abortion transport scheme was an “every day” occurrence.

The Missouri Attorney General credited Project Veritas with uncovering evidence of Planned Parenthood’s criminal activity.

“What Planned Parenthood hides and conceals and conspires to do in the dark of night has now been uncovered. That’s why investigative journalism is so important to give policymakers the necessary information upon which to set policy and to give law enforcement agencies the necessary information to hold wrongdoers accountable.”

The lawsuit filed today 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.
