Ah yes. Living in the age of YouTube. Lila Rose, a student at UCLA, called up Planned Parenthood offices across the country, posing as an underage girl seeking an abortion. She claimed her boyfriend was 22. Most states have mandatory reporting laws for statutory rape. So how did the Planned Parenthood offices respond? Rose recorded the conversations and posted them to YouTube. In an article at Lifenews.com (which I'm unfamiliar with, HT: Presbyweb) reports:
Los Angeles, CA (LifeNews.com) — Planned Parenthood is upset that a pro-life student at UCLA posed as a pregnant teenager and exposed it for advising her to disguise statutory rape. In an undercover investigative story for a student-run newspaper, UCLA student Lila Rose posed as a pregnant 15 year-old and entered a Santa Monica Planned Parenthood.
She told officials there that a 23 year old man had impregnated her and her article in The Advocate newspaper says PP staff assured Rose that if she said she was 16 or older, they wouldn't have to report the rape.
Unbeknownst to Planned Parenthood officials at the time, Rose taped the conversations and posted them on the popular web site YouTube.
The abortion facility staff encouraged her to "figure out a birth-date that works," to obtain the abortion and avoid getting the man in trouble with the police.
That isn't going over well with the abortion business and Mary Jane Wagle, the CEO of Planned Parenthood of Los Angeles sent Rose a letter threatening to sue her.
According to the letter, which LifeNews.com obtained, Wagle claims the videos were made "through false pretenses and unlawfully" and that the conversations they contain "were surreptitiously recorded without the knowledge and consent of PPLA employees."
Was PP's advice legit? Was Rose acting ethically? Hmmm… Here is the clip.
