Planned Parenthood of Arizona Unapologetic for Sexual abuse Cover Up, Live Action Sends Unedited Undercover Footage to State Attorneys

Contact: Lila Rose, Live Action, 408-497-3982, lilarose@liveactionfilms.org

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 11 /Christian Newswire/ -- The student-led nonprofit, Live Action, has provided the full, unedited footage from a recent investigation of a Tucson Planned Parenthood clinic to the offices of the Arizona Attorney General and the Pima County Attorney. The tapes show Planned Parenthood covering up a reported case of sexual abuse of a 15-year-old girl, and were made public last week on the Live Action's website, www.liveaction.org.

In the footage released last week, a Tucson Planned Parenthood counselor tells a Live Action investigator, posing as a pregnant 15-year-old, how to hide her sexual relationship with a 27-year-old man. The counselor, identified in the video as "Araceli," cautions the girl not to bring her reported 27-year-old "boyfriend" to the judicial hearing required to obtain an abortion without the consent of her parents.

Even while promising an "internal review," Planned Parenthood of Arizona has offered no public apology nor acknowledged any wrongdoing.

Past investigations of Planned Parenthood by Live Action have yielded alarming results. Last December, Live Action released similar videos revealing sexual abuse cover-ups at Planned Parenthood clinics in Indiana, prompting state officials to initiate investigations into practices at Planned Parenthood of Indiana. Facing a public scandal, Planned Parenthood fired an employee in Bloomington and soon after suspended another in Indianapolis.

Lila Rose, a 20-year-old undergraduate at UCLA and president of Live Action, asks Arizona state authorities to follow the lead of Indiana prosecutors.

Rose states, "Planned Parenthood's repeated claims of 'internal review' are woefully insufficient, especially since this organization has a record of violating state laws that protect young girls. Arizona authorities must thoroughly investigate the illicit behavior at Planned Parenthood clinics." She adds, "We must not forget that young girls are at serious risk. Planned Parenthood's disregard for mandatory reporting laws is prolonging sexual relationships between victimized minors and predatory adult males."

Live Action has also launched an interactive online map that displays recorded cases of violations at Planned Parenthood clinics across the nation. The interactive map can be viewed at liveaction.org/violations.

The Live Action kiddies are becoming the most effective weapon against Planned Parenthood I’ve yet seen.

I like the wise move of hitting them on two fronts at once, statutory rape/failure to report and the racist task of accepting donations (eagerly) “earmarked” to abort black babies.

The racism charges, with their connection to the Margaret Sanger philosophy, needs to become larger. Then it needs to be connected with the Obama Administration.

Pray to shut these killing houses down. I spent time in front of one today.

I encourage everyone to go and pray in front of a Planned Parenthood Clinic — especially during the 40 Days for Life that will start on February 25th — Ash Wednesday.

I wanlked and said a Rosary for a half hour, and then sat in my car and did some more praying because I got too cold.

One of my predictions of the Democrat takeover is the legalization of sex with any child with a drivers license. From there the rest will be fought with lawyers.

We should acknowledge that these people believe in their own pleasures and benefits. With their love of abortion, why would sex with younger and younger humans surprise anyone? At least you’re not killing them!

God, this makes me sick.

I did that for an hour a week 20+ years ago. After a few months, my focus shifted, and I began begging God to raise up Christian artists, in all media. The only way, ultimately, to overcome the culture of death is by celebrating life. Winsomely, persuasively, with artistic excellence. Whenever I read a public pontification by one of the merchants of death, I pray Psalm 137:9 -- my Rock is Jesus, you see. They kill other people's kids for power and profit. May their OWN children be converted to Jesus (meet my Rock). I suspect a generation of powerful advocates for life, and for the Lord of life, are growing up today in the households of the death merchants.

Yes there is a generation that the Lord has saved. He is preparing a remnant to pick up the pieces after our time of punishment for our sins.

Will Obama appoint one of these young people as special prosecutor to investigate the abortion industry?

I agree. I appreciate your link to the Exodus Mandate. I had an "interesting" conversation on a Christian discussion forum that began this way:

Picture two doors. Go through Door A, and the odds are 20 to one that your children will embrace your faith and live according to the values you hold dearest. Go through Door B, and the odds are 20 to 1 that your children will walk away from your faith soon after they leave home. Yet most American Christians, people who say that their Christian faith is the most important thing in their lives, go through Door B.

Mention what those two doors are, however, and a firestorm of indignation arises.

Mention how Balaam got the direction he wanted when God's first word wasn't to his liking, and things really get nasty!
