Thanks to the persistent investigative work of young pro-life journalists, Planned Parenthood’s ruthless, money-grubbing colors are on full, fresh YouTube display. But as shocking as the illicit new videos from Live Action Films are, the routine, parental-authority-sabotaging advice the taxpayer-funded abortion racket gives teens every day deserves more front-page headline news, too.
Live Action is a California-based “new media, investigative and educational organization committed to the protection and respect of all human life” led by Internet undercover pioneer Lila Rose. The group’s latest video footage at abortion clinics in Perth Amboy, N.J., the Bronx, and four cities in Virginia shows Planned Parenthood officials aiding and abetting individuals posing as criminal sex traffickers seeking abortions for underage girls.
Abortion activists first attacked the videos as “doctored,” then claimed they had already taken steps to rectify problems at the targeted clinics, then fired a worker after the tapes had been released, and finally denied any systemic failures while patting Planned Parenthood on the back for ordering new retraining measures for their employees this week.
Those who dismiss the scandal as an anomaly are in denial or abjectly ignorant.
In 2007, while an undergrad at UCLA, Rose visited a local campus Planned Parenthood clinic posing as a 14-year-old minor seeking an abortion after being impregnated by a 23-year-old man. California’s mandatory-reporting laws require abortion providers to report statutory rape involving girls under the age of 16. Rose secretly captured video of her visit in which the staff advised her to “figure out a birth date that works,” to obtain the abortion and avoid getting the man in trouble with the law. Instead of vowing to do more to protect girls from predators, Planned Parenthood threatened to sue Rose to shut her up.
That same year, a teenager came forward in Ohio to blow the whistle on how a Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in Cincinnati had ignored her cries for help after her father — who had been molesting her for three years from the age of 13 — forced her to have an abortion. She told an abortion staffer, who was required by state law to report suspected abuse to police. But the women’s-health provider so beloved by liberals on Capitol Hill did nothing.
Another Ohio teenage victim of sexual abuse filed suit against Planned Parenthood after the soccer coach who abused her at age 14 forced her to undergo an abortion. “Although she used a junior-high school I.D. and the coach, 21, paid with a credit card and driver’s license,” the Coshocton (Ohio) Tribune reported, “Planned Parenthood failed to report the abuse.”
Pro-choice radicals assert that butchers like Philadelphia Horror abortion doc Kermit Gosnell — charged along with his baby-killing death squad last month with multiple counts of murder, infanticide, conspiracy, abuse of corpse, theft, and other offenses — are an exception and that young girls and women who choose Planned Parenthood are “safe.”
Tell that to the Washington, D.C., family of 13-year-old Shantese Butler, who was left permanently injured and infertile after a botched Planned Parenthood abortion. Students for Life of America reported that Shantese was left with “severe abdominal bleeding, severe vaginal injury, severe injury to the cervix, significant uterine perforation and a small bowel tear.” In addition, parts of the unborn child were found inside Shantese’s abdomen.
And don’t forget the Nebraska Planned Parenthood clinic that refused to disclose the terms of a settlement with another victim whose botched abortion resulted in a perforated uterus, massive blood loss, an emergency hysterectomy, permanent infertility, seizures, and lifelong pain and suffering. According to the suit obtained by Life News, the woman told the abortionist and his assistants to stop, but was told: “We can’t stop.” The Planned Parenthood employees held her down to complete the procedure.
None of this is disclosed on Planned Parenthood’s informational website aimed at teenage girls, of course. Instead, the group aggressively advises pregnant girls under 18 on how to avoid telling their parents about visiting their abortion clinics through a process known as “judicial bypass.”
Through its “award winning” website Teenwire, Planned Parenthood ideologues normalize teen sexual activity, peddle their “family planning” services, whitewash the physical and moral consequences of abortion, downplay the long-term psychological consequences, and circumvent parental authority at every opportunity. What other enterprise receives taxpayer support to entice children to hide their health decisions from their own mothers and fathers?
Planned Parenthood is a $1 billion–plus business that rakes in one-third of its budget from government grants and contracts at both the state and federal levels. Congress has interrogated banking, energy, health insurance, tobacco, and oil execs — treating them like serial killers before the cameras. When will they finally defund a corrupt industry that has real blood on its hands?
De-funding is THE answer.
Planned Parenthood remains THE driving force that is the culture of death in America today.
This shouldn’t even require a moment’s thought. We’re bankrupt. Turn off the spigot.
An incredibly sad statement on the conscience of America, and confirmation of the analogy for how to boil a frog alive, is that we even debate this.
We might as well debate infanticide. And if the Lord waits I have no doubt that it will come to that.
If the Republicans vote to increase the debt ceiling it is time to go 3rd Party.
In a way Planned Parenthood has something in common with the Nazis.
The Nazis slaughtered and massacred six million Jews, men women and children.
By supporting unlimited unrestrained abortions, Planned Parenthood has destroyed infinite millions of innocent unborn babies. And many of those babies were minority babies, most of them black babies probably. Abortion therefore could be considered a genocide, a racial cleansing of a sort. A kind of eudenics. The Nazis experimented with eugenics. Mengele would be so proud of the pro choice gang. Abortion is an abomination and an affront to God and Christianity. Especially partial birth abortion which is extremely cruel to the max.
And you and I and other tax payers are paying for it to the tune of:
Planned Parenthood is a $1 billion–plus business that rakes in one-third of its budget from government grants and contracts at both the state and federal levels.
It has to stop, there's no way that I should be forced to pay for this abomination or even tolerate it for that matter. There are so called pro choice republicans, they will never get my vote or donation. I'd vote for a pro life democrat first, no matter his stance on other issues and I have never voted for a democrat in my life.
so is the generation that has given it sanction. Why would they defund it?

“In a way Planned Parenthood has something in common with the Nazis.”
PP has everything in common with the Nazis. Founder Margaret Sanger was a eugenicist herself and friends with the Nazi eugenicists of the time. She wanted to wipe out the “mud races” and “human weeds.” Look up the Negro Project.
PLANNED PARENTHOOD'S RAMPANT GOVERNMENT FRAUD
<><><> The US Inspector General found that NJ Planned Parenthood falsified Medicaid claims to get their hands on $2.9 million they were not entitled to.
<><><> Planned Parenthood of the Inland Northwest will pay the state $345,000 after settling a 2009 audit that uncovered the clinic used incorrect codes and provided insufficient documentation for some claims billed to Medicaid.
<><><> The original audit finding estimated the Spokane family-planning organization improperly billed Medicaid more than $629,000 for 333 patient procedures from March 2004 through February 2007. During that time, the clinic collected about $7.6 million from Medicaid.
<><><> Planned Parenthood California is under criminal investigation for billing taxpayers high prices for birth control equipment that they obtained on the cheap.
<><><> The Picower Foundation, one of PP's biggest financiers, was in cahoots with Ponzi thief Bernie Madoff, and was forced to give back $9B that was apparently part of a money-laundering tax evasion deal that got Picower an unlikely 900% return on investment.
DEFUND PLANNED PARENTHOOD NOW Urge Congress to move the Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act to the floor for immediate consideration. It's an outrage that taxpayers are forced to subsidize this oddball organization's peculiar fixation w/ genitalia.
PP is also suspected of aiding and abetting underage sex abuse, and suspected of participating in cover-ups----performing abortions on underage teens who were impregnated by older males, and failing to notify authorities. PP clinicians apparently covered up sexual abuse of underage teens by falsifying federal documents in order to receive federal funds for performing underage abortions. That would be classified as govt fraud -- using tax funding to aid and abet illegal acts.
