Wire: New Video Seeks to Discredit Planned Parenthood
by PubliusDavid Crary, The Associated Press NEW YORK, N.Y. – An anti-abortion group Tuesday released undercover video taken in its latest attempt to discredit an organization that provides abortions — footage of operatives posing as a pimp and a prostitute seeking health services at a New Jersey clinic.
The group releasing the video, Live Action, said it depicted a Planned Parenthood clinic employee offering to help cover up a sex ring so that its prostitutes could receive health services.
Planned Parenthood said it had promptly notified law enforcement authorities after the visit, but it also said it was investigating whether the clinic employee in the video may have violated some of the organization’s policies.
Planned Parenthood had proactively revealed the broad outlines of the new undercover operation last week, reporting that at least 12 of its clinics across the country had been visited by men claiming to be sex- traffickers.
The organization, which is the leading U.S. provider of abortions, asked federal authorities to investigate and said it had identified a man involved in the visits as linked to Live Action.
On Tuesday, Live Action released a video that it said was taken Jan. 13 at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Perth Amboy, New Jersey.
In the video, a woman identified as the clinic manager converses with a man and a woman posing as sex traffickers regarding their interest in accessing contraception, abortions and sexually transmitted-disease testing for underage prostitutes.
As depicted in the video, the clinic manager advises that the underage girls could lie about their age to lessen the chance of triggering an investigation once they sought health services.
“For the most part, we want as little information as possible,” the employee says, according to the video.
The video also depicts the employee suggesting that prostitutes could get cheaper contraception by claiming they were students.
“Yeah, just kind of play along that they’re students — we want to make it look as legit as possible,” the woman identified as the clinic manager says.
Live Action said it was making available both edited and unedited versions of the video.
“This proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that Planned Parenthood intentionally breaks state and federal laws and covers up the abuse of the young girls it claims to serve,” said Lila Rose, president of Live Action. She called for federal and state investigations of Planned Parenthood practices, and urged Congress to cut off federal family- planning grants to the organization.
Paul Loriquet, a spokesman for New Jersey Attorney General Paula Dow, said Dow’s office is “looking into the allegations.”
Responding to the video release, Planned Parenthood issued a statement detailing its efforts to notify state and federal authorities after the recent clinic visits. It said the FBI had been collecting evidence from Planned Parenthood employees and clinics, and reviewing photos of at least one of the persons claiming to be a trafficker.
“Planned Parenthood insists on the highest standards of care, and safeguards the trusted relationship we have with patients, families and communities,” the statement said. “What appears on edited tapes made public today is not consistent with Planned Parenthood’s practices, and is under review.”
Phyllis Kinsler, chief executive officer of Planned Parenthood of Central New Jersey, added that the clinic employee’s behaviour, as portrayed on the video, “violates PPCNJ policies, as well as our core values of protecting the welfare of minors and complying with the law, and appropriate action is being taken.”
Lila Rose, in a telephone interview, declined to say whether Live Action would be releasing videos from any of the other clinics that Planned Parenthood says were visited between Jan. 11-15 by men posing as sex traffickers.
“We’ll let you know if we have more to share,” she said.
Rose, 22, began infiltrating abortion clinics as a college student in 2006.
After forming Live Action, she gained prominence with a series of undercover videos in which she posed as a girl in her early teens who had been impregnated by an older man. The aim was to portray Planned Parenthood staff as willing to ignore laws that required the reporting of cases of suspected statutory rape.

Nothing new or surprising here Publius. Why Planned Murderhood are allowed to exist is beyond comprehension. How a killing machine is allowed, let alone protected here in the United States still after all these years, demands critical questions, and answered. Their corporate name "Planned Parenthood" is misleading, and misnomer.
They need to rename their company Planned Abortion or Planned Baby Killers.
As if the hellish practice of murdering babies needed to be discredited. I don't know why God puts up with us some times.
Since when has Planned Parenthood had any credit?
Not sure how they can sleep at night.
The Bottom Line: PLANNED PARENTHOOD needs to be ABORTED.
And now the mud slinging and the cover up begins. PP can't afford to lose its govt funding so watch for the spin and fireworks while they scurry to sanitize the files and any and all records.
BTW, why is the taxpayer supporting an organization that should only be receiving funding from charities and donations?
So the organization did they did what they were supposed to do. How is this news?
It’s great fun to watch the left react when their own tactics are used on them. Keep up the good work America, we’re exposing them for what they are, big mouth frauds whose real depth is a mile wide and a millimeter thick, poke and prod just a little and their BS evaporates like a stale fart in the wind. Great work.
YOUR PARENTS DON'T NEED TO KNOW, come to planned "Parenthood", not your parents, you!!!! When you walk out, you will no longer be a "Parent", the baby/child/fetus will have been executed/extracted, since you are no longer a potential parent, you must exit the building, making way for the next victim in the vicious cycle of harvesting humans for profit!!! Oh yeah, just in case you didn't know the executed/aborted don't go to waste, it is used in makeup and other vanity items so the "Planned Parenthood" donor can apply them for beautification, while consuming them in their youth potions and go out in their new sexiness and produce more material for the base ingredient in the beauty and youth products, which keeps them looking young and innocent!!! Returning time after time once impregnated to have the product extracted from their body!!! Again, they are no longer a potential parent so they must leave, this place is for "Planned Parenthood"!!! As you can tell, not many parents walk out!!! In Fact, Parents aren't allowed there, they don't need to know!!!
Planed Parenthood….Ethics, we don't need no stinking ethics.
And they don't either, they are typical unethical progressives that like to kill babies.
"behaviour, as portrayed on the the video, “violates PPCNJ policies, as well as our core values of protecting the welfare of minors……….."
It would have been better if you had protected the welfare of the babies you've murdered.
This AP story depicts something vaguely familiar……………Okeefe……….Hooker…………human trafficking………..favorite Lib constituency…………….
I think this may be the end of Planned Parenthood, stay tuned.
Wait a minute, Planned Parenthood is asking the feds to investigate the man from Live Action, the man involved in the visits? Do I have this right? They haven't asked for Live Action to help them investigate illegal goings on at their clinics nor have they asked the feds to investigate their employees, just the group that exposed them? I have this right? Yeah, I thought so. Just like ACORN. Do they both draw from the same "talent" pool? These people make me retch.
Indeed, they get big money from Uncle Sam.
I think PP will fight back vigorously.
the only thing that PP thinks it did wrong was to get caught. again.
DISTURBING!
Planned Parenthood, Acorn, the US govt. Are Americans so stupid that they can't see the writing on the wall? These groups are all Liberal Democratic Socialist, and YES, they are all corrupt!!
I agree. Let the mud slinging and posturing begin.
Now these lib institutions should know how Charlie Brown feels every Fall when Lucy offers up that football……
Why do conservatives feel they need to lie and commit fraud to allegedly prove their point. Planned Parenthood contacted the FBI over one week ago. In the ACORN tapes, one of the clips which received prominent play on this website and FAUX News was an individual in California who made some very "incriminating" statements. However, he was attempting to gain as much information as possible and when Jimmy "the Love Boat captain" O'Keefe left, he immediately called the police and the Mexican authorities and informed him of their plans. This fact never made it to FAUX News or this website. I wonder why?
I am amazed Bo,…simply amazed,….
you always seem to be the only one with the "right (?)" take on things.
You remind of that time when I was graduating from basic training and,……
when we were all marching in a parade and,…….
somebody's sweet mother shouted out from the viewing stands,……
LOOK,…..everyone is out of step except my son,..!!!!
Show me any credible link and I will join you in your condemnation. Until then STFU.
HuskyLurvsBO:
You never answered this…

Cross References. Section 4952 is referred to in sections
4909, 4953, 4955, 4956, 5708, 6105 of this title; section 5552

Is Pennsylvania law enough, or should I beat you about the head and shoulders with the 8th Circuit's decree over witness intimidation, as well…?"
You don't answer direct questions, either…
Planned Parenthood should be shut down as an ongoing criminal enterprise. They are complicit in covering up statutory rape, incest and infanticide. An honorable nation wouldn't allow this to continue.
Someone at AT reminded me of Chevy Chase's Land Shark skit.
Pimp-N-Prostitute again? Were the Planned Parenthood people living on Jupiter or a prayer when ACORN went up in flames?
Maybe we are the stupid ones. Instead of bringing down the most offensive segment of the USA with a T. Sowell we should have been employing Rick James. I'm beginning to wonder if Marc Faber didn't borrow from James O'Keefe and the Pimp-N-Prostitute schtick.
Maybe the best way to take out the 'enemy from within' is to become the "enemy within." We should all be sporting Pimp-N-Prostitute. The infanticidal fruitcakes in the Ghey Parade seemingly will buy anything. As long as it's not their money.
O'Keefe uncorked the genie and I'm betting the party animals at 1600 PA Ave thought then it was under control. But when a Marc Faber launches a Pimp-N-Prostitute blow across the bow you can hear the Windy City Wicked Witches grimacing and "melting."
P.P. breaks the law but calls the law on whistle-blowers……geesh….not a "progressive" thing to do
What? Did Planned Parenthood contact the FBI or not? Simple question, Ralph. You should have lot's of time on your hands to answer if you are not shoveling snow. Stay safe and warm.
Here is the cite for the ACORN employee who contacted the police, but was fired when the tapes were aired. http://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/politics/PoliceAC... Here is the cite for Planned Parenthood contacting the FBI one week ago: http://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/politics/PoliceAC...
They contacted the FBI and reported these conversations. Hmmm. As far as the 8th Circuit goes, you should know they do not write the laws. You try to mask your ignorance by attempting to quote law which does not apply. I have one for you though. Look up the fraud statutes and then determine whether the investigation by the FBI into fabricated matters is a federal crime.
Ya know F_This, your comments really made me think how awful our government has become. It will be interesting to see the disgusting politicians that stand behind Plan Parenthood and say what a great American institution it is, and how much they have helped families.
Best guess: Barbara Boxer, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid,……………………………………….?
Ok Huskers, we will take your name and note that you approve of Planned Parenthoods illegal policies.
What illegal policies? Oh, I am sorry, I bet you were referring to entering a federal building under false pretenses. My bad.
Perhaps Liberals can explain how a any group that rips an innocent Baby out of its Mother and then tosses the Baby into the trash can be any further discredited than they already are?
Huskers, I can understand that you would mistake Planned Parenthood as a Federal entity, BECAUSE THE POLITICIANS GIVE THOSE SICK BASTARDS OVER $300,000,000 OF OUR FEDERAL TAX DOLLARS EVERY YEAR, but they are a private not for profit. No trespassing here, no coersion. Planned Parenthood's gonna take a big hit. Sorry Huskers, I don't know what to say to console you. Hope for the best I guess.
I'm sure you can donate to them privately, there will be other pimps and human traffickers that will still need abortions for their ho's/victims.
That Pimp/Prostitute gets the Libs everytime.
Keep using it until it stops working I guess.
Finally, a reply…useless, and misguided, and WRONG, but a reply…
Did you apply for a health care waiver for your business…?
Nice try, but no cigar. I am well aware Planned Parenthood is a 501(c)(3) corporation. I was responding to our allegation of criminal wrongdoing. Obviously, the Captain of the Love Boat's conviction does not ring a bell.
Every sperm is sacred! Every sperm is great! If a sperm is wasted, God gets quite irate….Is that why we need to sabotage Planned Parenthood by any means possible? Way to go Live Action. Use yellow journalism and other forms of deceit to get what you want. I actually wasted a few minutes of my life looking at their website. They don't explain anywhere why it is better for unwanted children to come into the overpopulated world, rather than a quick death. They did explain that if someone tries to debate abortion with you, just ignore all of their statements and say that killing babies is bad. One thing I don't understand is that if there are so many pro-life people, why aren't there more vegans? You care so much about an unborn fetus, but live animals suffering is OK?
Great, they can stand on their own two feet, no tax dollars. The disgusting unions can donate to that butcher shop.
Animals are for eating. Babies are for loving. It is typical of liberals to care more about animals than humans.
Clearly you need to be aborted
Anyone have any scissors to make it happen ?
I thought you camel humpers chopped your nuts off when you see naked women ?
If that was true then how come there are over 2.4 billion of you MF'ers ?
This proves beyond a doubt, liberal do-gooders are the stupidest people on the planet and should be sterilized. Didn't the Acorn sting just happen about 10 minutes ago, haven't they learned anything?I certainly wouldn't do crime with any of them. By the way I heard on O'Rielly tonight that the feds give this organization 360 million a year.E-mail, call your reps and insist this funding be cut off.When 50% of the country is anti abortion the feds are making half of us fund this disgusting practice. If they want to abort their own, let the liberal elites donate.
Wow…you have really screwed up priorities!
Misguided? Go read your statute. Since the story was made up, who was the victim or witness to a crime? I eagerly await your response to this question. As far as a waiver, I have paid for my employees' health insurance for more than 25 years. Have you? Oh, and by the way it is not a bare minimum policy nor is it a cadillac plan. So go run along. I am certain the Love Boat is getting ready to sail once again. I am curious though, where did Jimmy get fur handcuffs?
Planned Parenthood 'discredits' itself by merely existing.
Husk you gave me 2 links to the same thing but, I'll let that go. The one concerning the ACORN employee reads that said employee contacted the police saying that he was a victim of a ruse (by O'Keefe, I guess) He didn't say that he gave the rusor (would that be the correct term?) information that made him look like a scumbag, merely that he was a victim. Hell, even ACORN didn't believe him so he was fired. Sorry, but your link doesn't offer proof he was a victim of O'Keefe at all. BTW, you say he called police immediately. I beg to differ. The article says 2 days later. Perhaps after O'Keefe visited another ACORN office and his act wasn't as good or the "victim", more astute, fired off an all points bulletin, then "victim no. 1" had the WTF moment and thought he'd cover his butt. We all saw the tape and my scenario makes a lot more sense.
OOOOOh, entering a federal building under false pretenses! Give him the chair, I say. Really? This is your response? Here's a hypothesis for you, you think your congresscritter is selling drugs out of his office but, you can't get an answer from him / her about whether he is or not and no one will listen to you depite credible evidence that he is. Do you A. go to the office to try to get the goods on said congresscritter or B. Ignore it or C. Keep butting your head against a wall. Hey, I know this is extreme but, c'mon. Sometimes one has to use false pretenses to catch bad people. The police do it all the time, it's called "under cover". Why can't a citizen use the same methods to fight corruption or just plain bad government or government sponsored activities? If they had nothing to hide or be ashamed of there would be no suspicion would there?
Sorry about the double link. Here is a part of the first link:
But police said in a press release that Vera reported the incident to his cousin, a detective with the National City Police Department. Vera worked in ACORN's National City office. The detective contacted a federal task force that deals with human smuggling, and an officer from the task force asked for more details. By then, Vera realized that he had been the victim of a ruse, and relayed that to the officer.
He was fired because ACORN pulled a Shirley Sherrod on him and as the article points out, the police issued a press release supporting him. Here is the other link: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/arti...
Planned Parenthood = Killers, Murderers, aka Planned Murderhood
Hmm. Do the names: Michael Griffin, Paul Jennings Hill, John Salvi, Eric Robert Rudolph, James Kopp, and Scott Roeder ring a bell?
Why do I get the feeling that Hitler would have loved abortion ?
Leadstate, I agree. I am 43 years old and have never , until the last couple of years, let govt operations bother me. Problems in govt have been brewing for many years, but in the last two years things have really gotten out of hand and I'm at my wits end. Everyone in this country has to follow rules. The taxpayers follow them mostly by paying what the govt asks for and what the laws allow, however it has become apparent that the US govt doesn't follow the rules that they pledged to do. The US constitution are their rules to follow so that this country can remain a free and great nation! Even when they break the rules they avoid punishment. Whats a regular law abiding citizen to do? Bye the way, what can you do when people are so stupid that they keep voting these people, Boxer, Pelosi, Reid, to name a few, back into office even after seeing how corrupt they are? Eventually the idiots will outweigh people like you and I when we go to the poles, and America will truly be doomed!
They seem so eager to associate with anyone who presents himself as a morally degenerate scumbag.
Ha! I think they do draw from the same "talent" pool. It seems like a prerequisite for employment at both PP and ACORN is utter moral depravity. They have no sense of right and wrong at all. All they know is what they want, and who's interfering with getting it. I don't think they have a clue about how normal, decent people view that kind of behavior.
*snore*
Still didn't say, "No"…besides, getting out from under that plan would have you exploiting your employees even better…good for when the Feds cut off your funding…
Do you have proof it was made up, something with legal forms involved…?
You contact the FBI.
what?
The government needs to stop funding Planned Parenthood…
About like Loughner, Alinsky, Breznik, Kaczynski, Sanger, Gosnell, Chomsky, Dorn, Gilbert, Ayers, Rudd, Flanagan, Mengele, Hitler et. al., Trotsky, Lenin, Stalin, and a host of others…
Your list is WAY bigger…you sure you're making a point, other than the one on your head, here…?
Huskers, don't play this game. I have eyes and ears. I watched the video. This woman was all to happy to help. She was knowingly aiding and abetting criminal activity and she should be arrested, not just fired.
The fact that Planned Parenthood figured out they were had, and later, tried to cover by calling the police matters not.
It's amazing how the MFM immediately rallies the narrative to attack the "anti-abortion" people.
Maybe they were just anti-human trafficking people.
Maybe they were just anti-government fraud people.
Maybe they were just anti-illegal alien people.
Maybe they were just people sick of the socialist democrats pretending to be the defenders of the little people.
.
Note how many times AP uses the qualifier "as portrayed on the video" in this piece. How often do you see them use that qualifier in countless other stories based on video and photographic evidence?
The Associated Press somehow manages the high wire act of being both a biased disgrace to journalism and lifelessly robotic. This has been a problem for over 25 years now, with no end in sight. The infants of libby J-schools are eating them from the inside out.
The world is indeed overpopulated.
Do the right thing.
Jump off a bridge.
Sheesh. These progressive/liberal organizations seem so eager to associate with anyone who openly presents himself as a morally degenerate scumbag.
They're more worried about pro-life activists posing as a pimp and ho than they are about the depraved scumbags they have working for them. But I guess if they didn't employ scumbags they wouldn't be able to secure the business of child-sex traffickers.
If PP was an ethical organization, and it's managers and staff had even a shred of common human decency, a pro-life activist posing as a pimp would be no threat to them; it would be something to joke about on their next coffee break. But PP officials know what kind of organization they run, and what kind of people they and their employees are.
Planned Parenthood said it is "investigating whether the clinic employee in the video may have violated some of the organization’s policies." May have?!! It's not instantly, unequivocally clear to them that the disgusting behavior of their employee in that video is wrong?!! They're not sure yet whether that behavior violates any of their policies?!! Unbelievable!
http://bit.ly/g8QArd Employee Fired– some hoax.
Two words: Holy Sh*t
Even if abortion was good, the earth was overpopulated, and animals were not made of food, scumbags like the clinic manager in this video and her superiors should be publicly reviled, and the organization that employs and defends them should be aborted.
You care so much about animals suffering, but using young girls as sex slaves and murdering babies is OK?
For a little insight into the ideology and principles that lead to the founding of Planned Parenthood, peruse this book written by its founder Margaret Sanger: http://www.archive.org/stream/pivotofcivilizat00s...
I think Planned Parenthood figured it out after about 12 videos were made. I think we are about to witness going to see trickle journalism at it's best. But to think that these people are like this, makes me sick. Start figuring out who is with Planned Parenthood, then decide where to put your money, time and effort.
Then why did they fire him? If what you say is true?
Why did Planned Parenthood fire Amy Woodruff if what you say is true?
Or…have I just exposed you telling more lies?
When are you gonna wise up fool and start getting your facts where they tell the truth?
Better start watching FOX cause you are wrong again….
At least you aren't whing this time about wearing a fake pimp uniform…..
Anyway I could be wrong…but it won't suprise me if we see another case of trickle journalism….
Look I know you are stupid….so I'm giving you a pass here…I can't believe even you would defend them if you actually knew what they do….If you do know then you Sir are a POS…..
So….don't flip you wig this time….
What a tool…..
LOL.
A quick death…..lol….bet you don't like the death penalty for criminals do you
Firstly, no one wants animals to suffer – that is a dishonest argument; but animals that are given 'a quick death' in order to feed humanity is not morally equivalent to destroying a human in the womb because it's inconvenient. Shouldn't you be asking yourself why Vegans aren't pro-life? If vegans cry over chickens, should they not weep over a human being struggling to thrive in the womb? An abortion cannot be effectively performed until 7 weeks gestation – it is not, as you may have been told, 'a bunch of cells', it passes that stage weeks prior. Can a fetus with the beginnings of a nervous system and a brain stem not possess the capacity for pain, and eventually awareness? Are you comfortable with late term abortion? The vast majority are not administered to women who've been raped or whose lives are in danger, as those terrible circumstances are extremely rare. In NY State alone, 41% of all pregnancies are terminated, most are black – do you not find that disturbing? Even though birth control and education is widely available at no cost, the numbers continue to climb. And abortion does not 'control population' – since the passing of Roe v. Wade, illegitimate pregnancies and live births have risen by 300%. Look it up. And if Left wingers are so concerned about population density in America, why do they think open borders is a good idea? Further, why do most left wingers care more about the life of a child rapist on death row than an innocent baby in the womb? Have you ever read Margaret Sanger's [founder of planned parenthood] own views from her own writings – or how Adolf Hitler was inspired by her books? I'd say there's a great many more questions that you need to ask yourself before you self righteously, and ignorantly spout off about the glories of eugenics. But I'm glad you feel so good about yourself whenever you push that cheeseburger away.
"We don't want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members."
– Margaret Sanger's December 19, 1939 letter to Dr. Clarence Gamble, 255 Adams Street, Milton, Massachusetts. Original source: Sophia Smith Collection, Smith College, North Hampton, Massachusetts.
How can you seek to discredit something that was discredited long ago?
Why is anyone surprised that people who work in abortion mills don't have any morals or ethics?
