PLANNED PARENTHOOD TARGETED IN LAWSUIT

Lawyer calls PPF malpractice a 'timb bomb'

LOS ANGELES, August 22, 2002 (LSN.ca) - A non-profit legal foundation, the United States Justice Foundation, has filed suit against Planned Parenthood clinics in Los Angeles and San Diego on behalf of a California woman who claims she was required to offer medical services -- including assisting physicians with abortions -- that she was not licensed to perform.

The suit, on behalf of Megan Allen, targets the National Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Planned Parenthood of San Diego and Riverside counties and Planned Parenthood of Los Angeles for "unlawful business practices" -- including use of "unlicensed personnel... to assist in the performance of abortions" -- and "wrongful termination" (of an employee).

Richard Ackerman, litigation counsel for USJF, told WorldNetDaily: "I spent a decade doing medical malpractice cases. This [one] is unbelievable. It's a time bomb." He said his client began pointing out medical procedural discrepancies "almost immediately, but [clinic staff] told her, 'Don't worry about it'." When her complaints began to come more frequently, the clinic fired her.
