There is a third former employee of Planned Parenthood of Delaware who claims that there were unsafe and unsanitary practices at the Wilmington clinic that goes beyond abortions and placed women in “grave danger”.

The Wilmington News Journal report that this includes failure to notify women of positive test results for sexually transmitted disease including 200 women who had contracted gonorrhea and chlamydia

Former manager Melody Meanor and two nurses say they will testify today before a legislative panel.

Ruth Lyttle-Barnaby, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Delaware, said that the expected accusations are either untrue or have already  been addressed by state officials.
