But in many clinics, they also draw blood and take vital signs. Medical assistants in Ohio, Minnesota, Arizona, California, New York, Texas, Indiana and Illinois said they practiced blood draws and I.V. placements for an hour or so on a fake arm and then on a colleague before performing the procedures in clinics. But they said they sometimes ran into problems, and some said they did not know what to do when they arose.

Excerpt:
The Complaint plausibly alleges facts showing “but-for” causation. There is a close temporal connection of approximately one month between Plaintiff’s protected activity and the adverse employment action. Plaintiff sent emails complaining of microaggressions against Jewish people to Walker on October 20 and 28, 2020. Her employment was terminated on November 30, 2020.

Planned Parenthood In Crisis: Workers Demand Union!
by Joe Maniscalco, July 23, 2014
Excerpt:
No less than eight elected officials from both the New York State Legislature and United States Congress are calling upon Karen Nelson, CEO, Planned Parenthood of Western and Central New York, to honor workers’ overwhelming decision to have CWA Local 1168 represent them in future contract negotiations.
So, far, however, Planned Parenthood’s leadership is refusing – insisting that an official election must be held.
Roughly 70 percent of the Planned Parenthood workers in Central New York already signed union authorization cards in June. The 60-plus employees working in five Planned Parenthood centers around Central New York, say that management has busted down workers to part-time status, while also stripping them of their job titles, and telling them they must reapply for their positions . . .
Fed up, as many as 10 Planned Parent workers have reportedly left the organization in the last three weeks. Those remaining, say that patients are often double booked, requiring staffers to stay on the job long past regular business hours. At the same time, workers say that post-merger management has callously altered worker schedules with no regard for employees’ familial obligations.

Excerpt:
The medical records of Planned Parenthood reveal that on January 17, 2001, plaintiff presented to the office for an abortion, which was performed. However, after the procedure, plaintiff developed uterine atony and persistent vaginal bleeding which required transfer to a hospital for further treatment . . . The third ultrasound suggested intra-abdominal bleeding. Plaintiff was returned to the operating room where defendant [hospital doctor] performed an exploratory laparotomy and discovered that the uterus was perforated, there was bleeding in the abdominal cavity and the left uterine artery had been transected. The report reveals that it was also necessary to remove the uterus and left ovary in order to prevent loss of the plaintiff’s life . . .

Paragraph 21 is under “Affiliate: Hudson Peconic – Financial Ethics” below.
Extract:
1. This is an action for violation of federal and state labor laws by Planned Parenthood Hudson Peconic, Inc. based on the organization’s failure to pay Plaintiff for certain overtime hours worked and the retaliatory termination of Plaintiff’s employment after she complained about the failure to pay overtime wages . . .
4. Plaintiff . . . is an African American citizen of the United States . . .
8. In March 2017, Black was hired to work as a Health Care Assistant (HCAI) in Planned Parenthood’s Mount Vernon Center . . .
11. In or about the summer of 2017, Black complained of being subjected to a hostile work environment at the Mount Vernon Center – including being subjected to at least three instances of aggressive physical contact by the Mount Vernon Center’s Senior Clinician.
12. Subsequent to her complaints . . . Black was transferred . . . to split her time between Planned Parenthood’s Yonkers Center and Planned Parenthood’s New Rochelle Center.
13. As a result of her re-assignment, Black was forced to work six days a week . . .
14. At Planned Parenthood’s direction, Black also occasionally filled in at Planned Parenthood’s White Plains Center . . .
19. Black advised Bentsi-Addison that due to lack of adequate staffing she was being forced to work extra hours at the end of her shift but not permitted to enter those hours into Planned Parenthood’s timekeeping system.
20. Black also notified Bentsi-Addison that at least one of the supervisors in the New Rochelle Center had overridden time entries she had entered into Planned Parenthood’s timekeeping system in order to deny Black payment for overtime hours she had worked . . .
24. On or about February 26, 2018, only two weeks after Black had received a highly positive performance review in which no performance problems were raised, Bentsi-Addison approached Black and accused her of alleged workplace misconduct.
25. Specifically, Bentsi-Addison accused Black of posting a video on Facebook purportedly taken within a Planned Parenthood Center that showed fetal matter.
26. Black immediately denied having any knowledge of or involvement in the alleged video, informing Bentsi-Addison, among other things, that she did not even have a Facebook account . .
32. On March 11, 2013, Bensi-Addison abruptly terminated Black’s employment with Planned Parenthood. Bentsi-Addison stated that Black was being terminated for purportedly engaging in employee misconduct when she had photographed her co-worker . . .
33. . . . the Planned Parenthood Employee Handbook . . . does not prohibit taking photographs within a Planned Parenthood center.
36. Upon information and belief, the reason given to Black for her termination was pretextual and the real reason for plaintiff’s termination was her repeated complaints about not being fully paid for her overtime hours.

Lawsuit: Capital Region hospitals failed to help woman after botched abortion
An Albany woman is suing Upper Hudson Planned Parenthood and the Capital Region’s largest hospital systems for allegedly neglecting to provide her medical care and guidance after a failed abortion – which she said resulted in weeks of pain, extreme blood loss and, eventually, a premature birth . . .
Alston encountered logistical challenges due to an unstable housing situation and likely racial bias, as studies show that women of color are far more likely than white women to experience life-threatening complications in pregnancy and have their medical concerns dismissed by physicians.
Report from News Channel 13, WNYT
Albany woman sues three healthcare providers after botched abortion
Alston immediately called Upper Hudson Planned Parenthood to schedule an abortion.
“I thought everything done and said,” Alston said. “Days go by. I’m still heavily bleeding, pain in my stomach, just nauseous and just a lot of heavy bleeding.”
Her pregnancy had not terminated.
“Planned Parenthood had no process for checking to make certain that the suction abortion was successful,” said Lewis Oliver, Alston’s attorney.
Oliver said the next few months were agonizing . . .
Her whole ordeal is detailed in a 55-page lawsuit. It claims that just three weeks after her botched abortion, she went to her regular OB-GYN at St. Peter’s because of the continued bleeding and debilitating pain. Another test confirmed she was still pregnant at about 15 weeks. Planned Parenthood told her the bleeding, pain, and a positive test were all normal.

Botched Care and Tired Staff: Planned Parenthood in Crisis
by Katie Benner, February 15, 2025
Excerpt:
Alston was leaving her boyfriend when she learned she was eight weeks pregnant. In desperation, she got an abortion at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Albany, N.Y., and moved with her two daughters into a homeless shelter.
But something was clearly wrong. Several weeks after the procedure, she was still bleeding heavily and suffering from painful cramps. She took another home pregnancy test, and when it came back positive, the clinic staff assured her that they had seen the aborted fetus and there was nothing to worry about. It was only after she went to an emergency room that she discovered the problem: The baby was still in her womb.
Twelve weeks after the failed abortion, Ms. Alston went into labor and delivered a baby who quickly died.
Ms. Alston filed a malpractice suit against Upper Hudson Planned Parenthood, one of several complaints about patient care at the New York clinic that women have brought to her lawyer, Louis B. Oliver. “Planned Parenthood provides a very important area of medical care,” Mr. Oliver said. “But I speak out and have sued them because even disadvantaged people deserve good care.”
Hineman
Court Document:
NY Albany Hineman 2024 Malpractice Complaint
Excerpt (full introduction):
INTRODUCTION
- Plaintiff [full name redacted] is an example of the growing number of young people who have been victims of so-called “gender-affirming care,” characterized by the immediate, no-questions-asked “affirmation” of one’s desired gender identity, irrespective of the underlying reasons for such desire and without any mental health assessment. At every step of the way, [Plaintiff] was failed by the medical and mental health providers that she and her family sought out for help with her depression, anxiety, social exclusion or rejection disorder, and other mental health conditions.
- [Plaintiff] had a relatively normal childhood, despite struggling with the effects of her then undiagnosed Asperger’s syndrome. Notably, she never felt any discomfort with her gender or expressed any desire to be a different gender. However, as she entered into her teen years, Cristina began dealing with significant mental health issues. Cristina began to suffer from anxiety and major depressive disorder, social exclusion disorder, self-harm, and passive suicidal ideation. Despite seeking professional help, her mental health spiraled into a point of crisis.
- During this time—and especially during Covid-19 lockdowns, in which she was spending most of her waking hours online— [Plaintiff] was introduced to, and indeed intrigued by, the concepts of gender identity and transition by influencers and popular channels or pages on websites like YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. Likely attributable to her Asperger’s syndrome, Cristina became hyper-fixated on the ideas she was being presented on these websites and in these communities, so much so that she became convinced that her numerous mental health struggles would resolve if she adopted a different gender identity. When she told her mental health providers that she was adopting a transgender identity, they unquestioningly “affirmed” this suddenly onset new identity, without conducting appropriate mental health evaluations or offering Cristina appropriate psychological counseling. They would eventually encourage her to pursue life-altering cross-sex hormones and even a double-mastectomy of her healthy breasts.
- [Plaintiff]’s mental health struggles, however, continued to persist and worsen. But convinced that gender transition was the only thing that could fix her, a mere week after switching her identity from agender to transgender male, she went to Upper Hudson Planned Parenthood, where, after a single, roughly thirty-minute visit, she was prescribed life-altering cross-sex hormones. The clinicians at that Planned Parenthood would continue to prescribe her testosterone without question for well over a year, and in fact would increase her dosage at Cristina’s request (rather than their own clinical judgment). Those clinicians, however, were simply following the orders from Planned Parenthood Federation, which mandates the treatment protocols Planned Parenthood affiliates, individual health centers, and their clinicians and practitioners must abide by for any patient seeking “gender-affirming” cross-sex hormones; and those mandated protocols are that a Planned Parenthood clinician must give any patient “gender affirming” cross-sex hormones upon request, without any mental health evaluation or even review of records.
- As [Plaintiff] continued to pursue her gender transition, she ultimately sought “top surgery,” or an unnecessary removal of her healthy breasts, all the while cheered on by her supposed mental health providers. Settling on the cheapest option she could find, [Plaintiff] had a double mastectomy performed on her. It was almost immediately thereafter that she experienced profound regret and realized that transitioning was not resolving her mental health issues but was in fact worsening them, that surgery and hormones had not made her a man. After this realization, she began to detransition.
- [Plaintiff] is now 20 years old and recognizes that she had been betrayed by the lack of care and concern Defendants showed her in facilitating life-altering medical decisions. The scars across her chest and the irreversible changes to her body from prolonged usage of testosterone are constant reminders that she needed an unbiased medical expert willing to evaluate her properly and provide the care she needed.
- [Plaintiff] humbly requests that this Court hold Defendants accountable for their wrongful acts. Plaintiff demands judgment against all Defendants including compensatory and punitive damages to the maximum amount allowed, as well as disbursements, costs, and such other relief as this Court deems just and proper. Plaintiff demands trial by jury.

Planned Parenthood Is Accused of Mistreating Pregnant Employees
Natalie Kitroeff and December 20, 2018
Excerpt:
A woman who worked at Planned Parenthood’s New Rochelle, N.Y., clinic and who declined to be named said in an interview that, when she got pregnant last year, managers ignored her doctor’s note recommending frequent breaks. Her manager asked her to delay her maternity leave and, after she gave birth, pressed her to return early.
A medical assistant at the same clinic was fired in May 2018, the day she returned from maternity leave, according to a former human resources manager who oversaw the clinic. Jonas Urba, the woman’s lawyer, said she reached a confidential resolution with Planned Parenthood.
The former human resources manager, who requested anonymity, said that executives assumed that when a pregnant worker brought in a doctor’s note, it was an excuse to work less. People who took sick days were perceived as lacking commitment.

Excerpt:
Note: This is brought by the administrator of an estate, which is why “decedent” is referred to. However, because there are several defendants and Planned Parenthood is only listed as one of them, and because neither the nature of the medical condition nor how the alleged malpractice led to the death are stated in the Complaint, we are including this under Malpractice Suits and not putting it under Patient Deaths unless further information shows it’s warranted to put it in the more severe category.
47. On or about July 1, 2014, plaintiff’s decedent presented to defendant PLANNED PARENTHOOD with certain signs, symptoms, and complaints.
48. On and between July 1, 2014 and August 1, 2017, plaintiff’s decedent received regular and continuous medical care and treatment from defendant PLANNED PARENTHOOD for the aforesaid certain signs, symptoms, and complaints . . .
62. As a result of the negligence, malpractice, and wrongdoing of the defendants as aforesaid, and without any fault on the part of plaintiff’s decedent contributing thereto, plaintiff’s decedent was caused to sustain serious, severe, and permanent personal injuries, and has suffered physical pain and mental anguish, and an untimely death.

Bolt
Court Document:
Extract:
40. Then, on June 22, 2022, White-Smith sexually assaulted Plaintiff Bolt at a work event. It occurred at Frontier Field during a team-building event for Planned Parenthood and Bivona. Plaintiff Bolt was in Planned Parenthood’s Suite, which was dimly lit and cramped, leaving Plaintiff Bolt with minimal room to maneuver.
41. To her utter shock, White-Smith, positioned herself behind Plaintiff Bolt and placed a hand on Plaintiff Bolt’s right buttock. This was not a fleeting touch but rather a continuous presence, as White-Smith kept her hand fixed on Plaintiff Bolt’s buttock while conversing with other Planned Parenthood employees.
42. Plaintiff Bolt was trapped by the layout of the space and was stunned that the assault was occurring in front of her colleagues. The act was unwelcome, invasive, and deeply troubling. It was not until a break in the performance that Plaintiff Bolt finally had an opportunity to leave the suite . . .
44. Plaintiff Bolt repeatedly requested the relocation of White-Smith’s office or other appropriate measures to protect her from White Smith.
45. Those in authority denied her requests and ignored her pleas for help . . .
47. To compound her distress, Plaintiff Bolt observed a noticeable change in her colleagues’ behavior. They began actively avoiding her and subjected her to ridicule and mockery. Cliques formed within the building, uniting in support of White-Smith and exacerbating Plaintiff Bolt’s distress . . .
49. These actions implied that she, the victim of harassment, was somehow to blame for the distressing situation she had endured. Eventually, these incidents led to Plaintiff Bolt taking a medical leave September 1, 2022 to address stress and anxiety as a result of White-Smith’s conduct and her employers’ utter failure to respond appropriately.
50. Despite Plaintiff Bolt’s persistent efforts to achieve an amicable resolution and part ways with Planned Parenthood on mutually agreeable terms, the organization unilaterally terminated their relationship in 2023. This abrupt decision left Plaintiff Bolt without viable work options, without health insurance, and further added to the challenges she faced in the aftermath of her ordeal.

Case: Monroe County, Brighton Residents v. Planned Parenthood
INDEX NO. EF2024005964
NY Rochester Full Affidavit, July 16, 2024
Excerpt:
- I decided that I couldn’t wait several weeks for an ultrasound, so I called Planned Parenthood and said I was pregnant and wanted to have an ultrasound. I was asked if I was considering an abortion. I figured that’s what I had to say to get an ultrasound quickly, so I told them yes and I got a scheduled appointment much faster than I could get one with my regular doctor.
- On December 21, 2023, I went to the Planned Parenthood at University Avenue in Rochester. . . I filled out my information on the tablet, including the fact that I have a history of seizures and high blood pressure, as well as the fact that I had pre-eclampsia with one of my babies. No one at the facility offered me any testing for HIV or other STDs. They didn’t even take my blood pressure, after I had put down that I have a history of high blood pressure . . .
- During the ultrasound, the woman wouldn’t let me see the ultrasound screen. She kept tilting the screen so that I couldn’t see what was going on, even when I asked her if she could turn it so that I could see it . . .
- After asking me when I thought I had my last period and I said that I wasn’t sure, she told me that she thought I was “4 months and some change” along in the pregnancy. I asked her if it was a boy or a girl and she said she couldn’t tell me. . .I asked her if she saw any defects with the baby because my other child has a club foot, and she told me that she wouldn’t be able to tell that from “this kind of ultrasound” . . .
- I then went to leave and asked her for the ultrasound picture. She got all weird and kept saying it’s not really going to show anything . . . I couldn’t figure out what was going on, but I had come to get an ultrasound and I wanted the picture so I pushed for it . . .
- When I looked at it, it was so blurry I couldn’t even see anything on it . . .
- As I left the Planned Parenthood office, I saw some people standing on the sidewalk outside . . . I told them about the appointment, and how I had gone into Planned Parenthood and had an ultrasound, and showed them my ultrasound picture. I asked them what they thought of it. They told me that I could have a free ultrasound right then in the mobile van . . .
- The woman sonographer in the mobile van was very nice and she had it set up so that I could see the screen at the same time that she was looking at it, which made me feel better right from the start. As soon as I saw the screen come up, I saw a very clear picture of my baby and heard the heartbeat. I also learned that I was about 17 weeks along, and that the baby was a girl! . . .
- I just couldn’t, and still can’t, believe the difference in two ultrasounds, done so close in time on the same day.

Smithtown
Dorival
We don’t have the Complaint on this, but in a 2007 court order dismissing another defendant, it says about this Dorival v. Planned Parenthood case:
The medical records of Planned Parenthood reveal that on January 17, 2001, plaintiff presented to the office for an abortion, which was performed. However, after the procedure, plaintiff developed uterine atony and persistent vaginal bleeding which required transfer to a hospital for further treatment.

Court Document:
NY Smithtown Thomas Malpractice Case Motion 2012
Excerpt:
This is a medical malpractice action wherein the plaintiff . . . alleges that during the performance of a second trimester abortion on April 18, 2009, the defendant, Planned Parenthood Hudson Peconic, Inc., by its staff, negligently perforated her uterus, resulting in her having to undergo an hysterectomy and suffer other permanent injury.
Ms. Thomas testified that she went to the West Islip Planned Parenthood on about April 15th or 16th 2009 for an abortion of her third pregnancy, had a blood test and applied for health insurance which covers the procedure and a three month period thereafter. She was referred to the Smithtown Planned Parenthood on April 18, 2009, as she was told she was too far along in her pregnancy to take the pill for the abortion at the West Islip Planned Parenthood office. She believed she was about 11 or 12 weeks pregnant. When she arrived at the Smithtown location, she showed the staff her 10 and filled out some paperwork for insurance. . . .
She then had a sonogram and was advised that she was about thirteen and a half to fourteen weeks pregnant. Thereafter, she had some blood work performed . . . she went into a room where she was seen by [the doctor] and a nurse who gave her some pills to soften her uterus or cervix . . . She was placed on a table, and an intravenous was started. She then felt [the doctor] insert a “metal thing” into her vagina. When she started to feel a sharp pain, she told the doctor to stop, but he advised her that the procedure was already started and that he could not stop. She testified that shortly after that, the doctor advised her that there was “just a minor complication,” and that he was calling Stony Brook Hospital. The next thing she knew, the paramedics were at her side. When they moved her she felt a gush of blood. Upon arrival to Stony Brook University Hospital, she was given a partial hysterectomy . . .
The Fire Department responded to a mid-2019 FOIA request with this spreadsheet for every call dealing with the Planned Parenthood address in Smithtown (26 calls). The code sheet says that when Signal is 16, that means an ambulance call.

NY White Plains Doe Malpractice Complaint 2021
Excerpt:
49. On May 4, 2020, Defendant Dr. Shah prescribed the two-medication regimen of Mifeprex and misoprostol to terminate Plaintiff’s pregnancy.
50. Plaintiff did not sign the required Patient Agreement Form, or any other form.
51. Defendants failed to conduct a physical exam of any type on Plaintiff, let alone a bimanual pelvic exam or abdominal exam.
52. Defendant failed to conduct an ultrasound on Plaintiff.
53. Plaintiff began her regimen of Mifeprex and misoprostol on May 4, 2020.
54. That evening, Plaintiff began experiencing painful cramping and pressure.
55. Plaintiff went into full labor in the early morning hours of May 5, 2020.
56. Plaintiff experienced extreme and painful accelerated changes to her body, including a vaginal laceration or tear, as the delivery progressed.
57. At approximately 3:00 am, while sitting on the toilet, Plaintiff gave birth to a fully formed, stillborn baby boy named J.T.
58. Plaintiff was shocked and traumatized when she saw the lifeless, fully-formed baby in the toilet covered in mucous, blood, and the placenta.
59. The next morning, Plaintiff advised Defendants about the ordeal. Plaintiff described the size of J.T.’s body to the Defendants. She described his size as the length of her forearm, not including his legs. Defendant Mensah repeatedly asked whether the body was the size of a fist, but Plaintiff and her mother corrected her.
60. Instead of directing Plaintiff to the nearest emergency room, and despite knowing that J.T. was a fully-formed baby, Defendants directed Plaintiff to bring J.T. across county lines to Dr. Shah at the White Plains Center for examination of both J.T. and herself.
61. At the White Plains Center, Dr. Shah performed an ultrasound and physical exam on Plaintiff and also examined J.T.
62. Defendants determined that J.T.’s length and femur size were consistent with that of a thirty-three to thirty-six week old baby.
63. Defendants advised Plaintiff that they would dispose of J.T., further upsetting Plaintiff and her family.
64. Plaintiff, just hours post-partum and in shock, was made to wait for many hours at the White Plains Center.
65. Defendants told Plaintiff not to call law enforcement.
66. Plaintiff refused to allow Defendants to dispose of J.T. and a family member contacted law enforcement authorities for assistance.
67. Defendants made misleading statements to law enforcement, including the indisputably untrue statement that Plaintiff was “examined” and that Plaintiff decided on her own to bring J.T. across county lines.
68. J.T. was taken to the Westchester County Morgue.
69. J.T. was a fully formed and otherwise healthy baby.
70. Plaintiff had no intention of aborting a near-term baby, did not consent to the termination of a near-term baby, and would not have aborted a near-term baby or any baby after her first trimester.
71. An autopsy was performed on J.T. on May 7, 2020.
72. The cause of J.T.’s death was determined to be a “medically induced termination of pregnancy of a 30-week fetus.”
73. As a result of Plaintiff’s ordeal, she has endured significant stress, trauma, emotional anguish, physical pain, including laceration and an accelerated labor and delivery unaided by medication, lactation, soreness, and bleeding.

Article in The New York Times:
Planned Parenthood Is Accused of Mistreating Pregnant Employees
Natalie Kitroeffand December 20, 2018
Tracy Webber, the former director of clinical services in White Plains, sued the organization for pregnancy discrimination in 2009, saying she had been fired four weeks after giving birth. Planned Parenthood settled for undisclosed terms. . .
As a medical assistant at Planned Parenthood, Ta’Lisa Hairston urged pregnant women to take rest breaks at work, stay hydrated and, please, eat regular meals.
Then she got pregnant and couldn’t follow her own advice.
Last winter, Ms. Hairston told the human-resources department for Planned Parenthood’s clinic in White Plains, N.Y., that her high blood pressure was threatening her pregnancy. She sent the department multiple notes from her nurse recommending that she take frequent breaks.
Managers ignored the notes. They rarely gave her time to rest or to take a lunch break, Ms. Hairston said.
“I had to hold back tears talking to pregnant women, telling them to take care of their pregnancies when I couldn’t take care of mine,” she said . . .
When Ms. Hairston asked for regular breaks, including 30 minutes for lunch, her supervisors brushed her off. Ms. Hairston said she sent multiple notes from her nurse at Full Circle Women’s Health to the regional office’s human resources department, stating that the extra breaks were medically necessary. No one responded, and nothing changed, according to Ms. Hairston and the former human resources manager.
Ms. Hairston’s hands and feet swelled; the clinic’s plastic gloves no longer fit. Her blood pressure got so high that her doctor put her on bed rest when she was seven months pregnant.
She returned to work on strict orders to not work more than six hours a day and to take regular breaks. One day in March, she worked a much longer shift. She soon became so sick that her doctor told her to go back on bed rest. A few days later, on March 23, she went to the hospital. Doctors performed an emergency C-section. She was 34 weeks pregnant.
When she had been on maternity leave for eight of the 12 weeks guaranteed by the Family and Medical Leave Act, Planned Parenthood’s human resources department called her multiple times and urged her to return to work early, Ms. Hairston said. She emailed the department and said she felt “discriminated against.” She resigned in June.
“I didn’t get into the medical field to be treated like this,” she said.
