Live Action released a new video today exposing further failure by Planned Parenthood to report instances of statutory rape. Posing as a 14-year-old girl, Live Action’s Lila Rose goes to Planned Parenthood in Birmingham, Ala. to procure an abortion. Explaining that she does not want her parents to find out about the abortion, as well as the fact that her boyfriend is a 31-year-old man, the Planned Parenthood counselor assures her that sometimes the clinic manager does “bend the rules a little bit.”
Those “bended rules” are Alabama state laws requiring health professionals to report suspected cases of sexual abuse to state officials immediately, as well as law that requires express written permission from a parent or guardian for a minor to obtain an abortion.
The Planned Parenthood counselor, identified as “Tanisha,” hints that the young girl could skirt the rules for parental consent if she can obtain a signature from an older sister, or other adult with her same last name.
This video is the 6th in Live Action’s “Mona Lisa Project” which aims to expose Planned Parenthood’s refusal—nationwide—to take proper action when confronted with evidence of statutory rape. Of this latest development, Rose had this to say:
“When to ‘bend the rules a little’ means hiding a case of statutory rape from Child Protective Services and looking for ways around the parental consent requirement, Planned Parenthood becomes directly responsible for ensuring that statutory rapists can continue their abuse of young girls.”
