Planned Parenthood calls on the Schimel (R) campaign to take down an ad aimed at transgender youth [View all]

Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin is calling on conservative Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Brad Schimel to take down a new campaign advertisement targeting transgender children.

Attorneys representing the reproductive rights group sent the Schimel campaign a cease-and-desist letter Friday over the new ad, which accuses Planned Parenthood of providing "puberty-blocking drugs to children without parents' consent."

"Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin does not provide puberty blockers to minors with or without parental consent," the group said in a statement. "The claim made and cited in the ad is demonstrably false and intentionally misleading."

The group called on Schimel to stop "distributing or sharing the ad through any means."

"The false and misleading information in the ad harms both the health care provider and its patients," Planned Parenthood said.
