Lila Rose, in reality a 20-year-old UCLA student, posed in the summer of 2008 as a 14-year-old who had been impregnated by her 31 year old boyfriend. Videos of the sting were released yesterday. With hidden cameras she took her story into Planned Parenthood Memphis to see if, like she expected, they would cover up statutory rape (as numerous other Planned Parenthood branches across the nation have been doing) and break Tennessee Law.
Tennessee Code 37-1-605 requires health professionals to report suspected cases of sexual abuse of minors to law enforcement immediately.
The Planned Parenthood counselor tells Rose on camera, "Look, if we keep this conversation I'm gonna have to talk to my manager and yeah, [your boyfriend]'s gonna get in trouble," but promises, "I'm not gonna tell anybody, ok?" She adds, "And please don't say that I told you this." When Rose tells the counselor she thinks her boyfriend will get in trouble if her parents find out, the counselor advises Rose to lie about the man's age when speaking to a judge in order to obtain a bypass of Tennessee's parental consent law for abortion: "Don't mention it. Just say you have a boyfriend 17 years old...whatever."
Instead of reporting child abuse/rape, as required by law, Planned Parenthood is willing to conceal adult-child sex in order to profit off of victims of child sexual abuse. Then, for an ideology of "choice" which they "coincidentally" profit majorly off of, they encourage children to lie to the courts in order to get by Tennessee parental consent laws that "coincidentally" and rather ironically in 1995 they, the Planned Parenthood affiliate of Memphis, challenged...fortunately unsuccessfully.
This is the same facility where we hold our 40 Day vigil located at 1407 Union Avenue, Suite 300. This has come as very unfortunate news to us who feel so intimately connected with the girls we are praying for and the babies in their womb outside Planned Parenthood Memphis. We, from this point on, include in our prayers all of those girls who have been victims of sexual abuse with the lack of help from Planned Parenthood Memphis. This can't "coincidentally" be the first time they have "promised to not tell anyone." This also cannot be the first time they have aided young girls in lying to get past parental consent laws. We continue to pray for the staff of Planned Parenthood, that they may have a conversion of heart.
40 Days for Life Memphis hopes that public authorities initiate a full investigation into this to stop child abuse cover-up and protection of sexual predators.
To top this off, $1,100,000, of tax-payer money goes to this organization every year. Click here to contact legislators and tell them no tax dollars for Planned Parenthood.
