Where does Hollywood go when they need to cast an abortionist? Apparently no further than the nearest Planned Parenthood.

It turns out that the abortionist in the film Blue Valentine, starring Hollywood A-list actors Ryan Gosling and Michele Williams, is none other than former Planned Parenthood abortionist Timothy Liveright, whose license was recently suspended in Delaware. The state's attorney general has accused Liveright of presenting a “a clear and immediate danger to the public.”

One former nurse testified before the state Senate last week that the Planned Parenthood facility where Liveright worked was “an absolute nightmare,” saying she was “surprised that more people have not lost their lives there.”

In the movie, Williams' character goes in for an abortion, but changes her mind while on the operating table. Abortion activists have often complained that abortion is rarely ever depicted positively on the silver screen, despite Hollywood being overwhelmingly liberal, including on abortion. Often characters who are considering abortions change their minds, or will either regret having the abortion or suffer other negative consequences.

Liveright worked at the Wilmington office until April of this year, which is when two former nurses from the clinic went to the media, telling a story of a dangerous, “meat-market” style of performing abortions in which women were treated as cattle and profit was king.

During a senate hearing last week, one of the nurses described the clinic as an “absolute nightmare” and said she was surprised that more women had not died under Liveright’s care.

Among the charges included in the complaint, a copy of which was obtained by LifeSiteNews.com, are the sexual harassment of female employees and “unprofessional, disrespectful, and inappropriate” conduct such as “yelling, screaming, and cursing” in the company of Planned Parenthood employees and patients. 

Additionally, the complaint lists 10 different “acts of incompetence and negligence” in Liveright’s treatment of five abortion clients between February 12 and March 13 of this year. These included oversedation, performing unnecessary suction procedures, failing to properly administer oxygen, and failing to “act with due competence and diligence” with the result that patients required emergency hospital visits. 

In the first few months of this year, pro-life activists witnessed five ambulances visit the Wilmington clinic to whisk women to hospital for treatment.
