CHICAGO, May 24, 2016 /Standard Newswire/ -- On April 11, 2016 an Illinois court denied attempts by Planned Parenthood's waste hauler Stericycle, Inc., to censor pro-life group Created Equal's first amendment protected efforts to expose the Lake Forest, IL company for providing waste-disposal services that enable abortion giant Planned Parenthood to kill preborn children. Evidence shows Stericycle has been partnering with Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry through their collection, transportation, and disposal of aborted children and the instruments used to kill them.
 
Created Equal launched #ProjectWeakLink on March 29 by distributing informational postcards in the Lake Forest, IL area, which is home to Planned Parenthood business partner Stericycle. On March 31, Created Equal was notified by Stericycle's attorneys that the company was seeking a temporary restraining order to stop the campaign. 
 
On May 25, Created Equal will be conducting a demonstration at the company's annual shareholders meeting.

Stericycle: DUMP Planned Parenthood
Stericycle Censors Free Speech

"To date, Stericycle has not provided sufficient evidence regarding whether they have discontinued transporting and disposing of aborted children and the instruments used to kill them for Planned Parenthood and other abortion facilities. Therefore, we will be appealing to Stericycle's shareholders to get clarification on the company's Waste Acceptance Protocol and encourage them to consider whether closely affiliating with the Planned Parenthood and the abortion cartel is a wise financial decision." -- Mark Harrington, National Director, Created Equal
