Planned Parenthood Doesn’t Get It

Planned Parenthood has on several occasions been caught on tape covering up cases of statutory rape.  In one recently released video, an Indiana PP counselor is confronted with a girl who says she is 13 and her partner is 31.  The response?  “I didn’t hear the age.”

Now, PP is promising to conduct internal reform, and is teaming up with Prevent Child Abuse of Indiana to make changes.  Sounds good, right?  But there are two problems.

First, the reform is contained to Indiana.  However, Planned Parenthood has been caught doing the exact same thing in North Carolina and several other states.  They are also under investigation in California for defrauding the government, and a counselor admitted to infanticide in New Jersey.  Statewide reform isn’t going to cut it when the corruption is nationwide.

Second, even the Indiana attempt at reform is highly suspect.  Prevent Child Abuse of Indiana has a long-standing relationship with Planned Parenthood.  In fact, PCAI leader Carol Pool volunteered for Planned Parenthood for 13 years!

That Planned Parenthood won’t employ an unaffiliated, unbiased group to conduct its reform suggests to me that they are hoping that the problem will just go away.  It will not.  As long as Planned Parenthood continues to systematically break the law, pro-life activists will be there to get it on the record.
