The "Culture of Death" in our midst..
(CNSNews.com) - Planned Parenthood is under fire after one of its employees was recorded encouraging a student - who was posing as a pregnant minor - to lie about her age in order to obtain an abortion without the abortion provider having to report the "statutory rape" to the police.
Lila Rose, an 18-year-old sophomore at the University of California Los Angeles, visited a Planned Parenthood clinic in the city, posing as a 15-year-old impregnated by her 23-year-old boyfriend. The visit was part of an investigation for The Advocate, a new pro-life magazine distributed on the UCLA campus.
California law requires abortion clinics to report instances of statutory rape to police. The age of consent in California is 16.
In covertly-filmed video of the meeting between Rose and an unnamed Planned Parenthood employee, the staffer is heard to tell Rose: "If you're 15, we have to report it ... If you're not, if you're older than that, then we don't need to."
"Okay, but if I just say I'm not 15, then it's different?" Rose asks.
"You could say 16," the worker replies, later adding, "Just figure out a birth date that works. And I don't know anything."
Just wait til you read the non-apology apology from Planned Parenthood:
Kathy Kneer, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California - the state public policy office of Planned Parenthood - criticized Rose's tactics but told Cybercast News Service that staff has been notified of its policy to follow all reporting laws.
"We believe the individuals behind this are doing this not out of motivation to protect teens but in fact to discredit Planned Parenthood," Kneer said of Rose and her male accomplice. "They went in with an objective to manipulate our staff, (DAMN!!) and they did succeed in manipulating our staff." ("And we would've gotten away with killing another baby if it wasn't for you meddling kids!"-ed)
Question, Ms. Kneer--just who was manipulating whom??
The woman (in the tape) relates that having herself given birth at the age of 17, 16 years ago, the decision had severely hindered her education and life goals. "If I would do it again, I would not continue the pregnancy," she is heard telling Rose.
But just wait til you hear Planned Parenthoods non-apology apology:
While Kneer was critical of Rose's approach, she acknowledged that the staff had violated Planned Parenthood policies.
"It is against Planned Parenthood's policy to counsel clients in this fashion, period, (nod-nod, wink-wink--ed) Kneer said. "It is our policy to completely comply with all reporting laws. We regularly train and retrain our staff on all aspects ofnot getting caughtreporting laws."
"The staff gave an incorrect answer," Kneer said of the employee who suggested that Rose lie about her age. "She should have said, 'It's reportable' and ended the conversation there. But she allowed herself to be manipulated by Lila, and that's against our policy."
Allowed herself to be manipulated?? Again, I ask--who was manipulating who, Ms. Kneer?
Kneer said Planned Parenthood "immediately notified all of our staff and reminded them that this is in violation of our policy (be more careful, dammit!), and we continue to do that on a regular basis."
So Planned Parenthood was willing to look the other way, when for all they knew a 15-year old girl was being taken advantage and systematically raped of by a 23-year old.
They get caught red handed (as abortionists are so often wont to do), so what happens?
Why, they blame the alleged 15-year old "victim," of course.
If this had been a real case, there'd be one more dead baby in the dumpster, and a few hundred more dollars in Planned Parenthood's coffers.
Not to mention another young girl, scarred for life.
What a ghoulish existence they lead!
