Lila Rose has just released the second video in her sting operation. This time a Virginia Planned Parenthood knows they are sex-traffickers of teens and discusses how PP will help with judicial bypass.
Now I know the PP spin will say that the worker was just playing along, but the video speaks for itself. This employee discusses the law and how PP helps to skirt the law, and then refers the pimp to surrounding Maryland and DC which have looser time limits than Virginia’s 13 weeks, 6 days.
At no time does this employee state that she cannot help them with teen prostitutes. The worker did not excuse herself to call the police, nor did she do so afterward.
The gravity of this cannot be overstated. An adult (nurse?) in a clinic is conspiring with what she believes to be a pimp trafficking young girls in how to avoid parental notification laws for abortion in Virginia. This means that if my daughter is turning tricks on the side without my knowledge and accidentally gets pregnant, the fastest way for me to discover the whole sordid mess would be the pregnancy. But here we see an adult in scrubs telling a pimp how he can avoid getting himself caught by aiding in ridding the “evidence”. And in the words of Kimberly the worker:
“So for someone who’s a minor, that’s a really good option (judicial bypass). We do ’em probably once or twice a month here… We’re pretty good at handling if someone, you know, doesn’t want someone else to know or doesn’t want their parents to know.”
There is no love at PP for young girls.
None.
The slime keeps oozing from Planned Parenthood.
I applaud Lila Rose & her efforts to expose the evil organization Planned Parenthood. It’s about time Planned Parenthood’s evil work is exposed to the public. It’s getting harder & harder for abortionists to conceal the evil work they do because of the internet. Internet allows millions to access videos that expose the truth about abortion clinics. I hope more pro-life women & men will join Lila Rose & her team to further visit abortion clinics inorder to continue revealing the atrocities committed at these abortion mills. It’s only a matter of time before government funding of Planned Parenthood will stop. The deck of cards is starting to crumble.
It is all so repugnant. I sometimes cannot believe that any woman would sell out young girls’ lives this way. And yet there it is.
There has never been any love for anyone in Planned Parenthood. It has always been about eugenics and money. And anyone who thinks otherwise has been utterly hoodwinked.
I was a patient at Planned Parenthood of Connecticut for about ten years beginning in 1982, when I was 16 years old. I was always treated with the utmost of kindness and respect by their staff (who always helped me conspire to keep my visits secret from my Catholic parents).
It sounds as if there are some bad apples out there now at some PP branches, and if it takes a video expose to weed them out, then Lila Rose is doing everyone a favor.
L., why am I not surprised that you’d take this opportunity to proudly announce how PP helped you keep your parents ignorant of your underage behavior.
Thank you for once again displaying vividly not only all that is depressingly amoral about the abortion-minded, but also how the internet provides a perfect forum for those who delight in provoking others.
“It sounds as if there are some bad apples out there now at some PP branches,”
Yes L, Poison trees bear poison fruit, like those who helped you deceive your parents.
Poison fruit, or sour grapes?
PP is a huge organization, and just like all organizations, there are individuals inside it who fail to uphold the organization’s standards.
My parents were right in trying to teach me the Catholic view of sexuality, in which they themselves believe. Parents have a right to teach their children whatever they want. But when teenagers make the decision to become sexually active, and they lack the support of their families for this decision, they need to find information, contraceptive and VD testing somewhere else. PP fills this need.
PP was there for me when I needed them, and I will be forever grateful to them. I used to be a major donor to them, when I had more disposable income (but those days are gone).
L,
Your pathetically sad defense of abortion, of those who position themselves between a child and the child’s parents speaks volumes of the damage done to you by PP. You have a bit of Stockholm Syndrome going on.
I am defending contraception here, and other health care — that’s what PP provided to me, and I will be forever grateful to them. My parents failed to give me any kind of sexual information except for the words, “wait until marriage.”
PP did not “damage” me — they saved me.
“Stockholm Syndrome” implies kidnapping, but it was actually quite the opposite — it was difficult for me to get to the PP office. I sought them out, and it wasn’t easy.
(Also, I was a legal adult for the majority of the time I was a PP patient. They were my primary healthcare provider for many years, when I had very inadequate health insurance.)
“they saved me.”
From what?
They saved me from ignorance (since I’d had no comprehensive sex education, and there was no Internet, in those days) and very probably from a pregnancy that would have resulted if I’d had unprotected intercourse (which I believe I would have had, anyway).
Also, their blood tests revealed anemia, which had gone undiagnosed until them.
“They were my primary healthcare provider for many years, when I had very inadequate health insurance.”
Lots of people were fed by Al Capone’s soup kitchens during the Great Depression, and were grateful to him. That didn’t make him any less of a malignant murderer. It actually caused otherwise good and decent people to become Capone apologists.
L,
Last warning. Any more gratuitous mention of Catholic Clergy and I will ban you from this blog. Stay on the subject at hand and back off of the Church. We’ve cleaned house and you’re not wiping your muddy boots on my Church.
Am I perfectly clear on this?
You could not possibly be less clear — I am unsure why you deleted that last comment.
Gerard, L. is sadly a not uncommon internet phenomenon. As evidenced in other comments she has made on your blog, she enjoys posting clearly inflammatory statements guaranteed to gain a negative reaction. I wish this were the first time I’d seen someone display such disturbing behavior; sadly it is not.
On each and every comments thread L. visits, we are treated to provocative statements like the following:
…I have no moral qualms about killing the unborn, and I myself would kill even a perfectly healthy baby of mine in some circumstances (e.g., rape) — so therefore, indeed, abortion has always been, and will always be, my own personal back-up form of birth control.
I was once the mother of an unwanted dead embryo. I realized at the time that this technically made me a “mother,” but it’s not what I think motherhood is all about. The whole experience truly convinced me that I could never be pro-life.
The love I have for my children is a function of the love I have for my own sense of autonomy. My children were all choices. I could have legally aborted them, but chose not to. Therefore, as you put it, my family is the externalized representation of my acts of will — or as I often put it, “human beings, created on a whim.” (Particularly true of our youngest one!)
My child certainly do not command any love simply because they are my child and I am their mother — can love really be commanded, by biology or by anything else? If this had been the case, every pregnancy of mine would have been wanted and loved, and I have already said, this wasn’t the case.
I was overjoyed to lose the unwanted human life, and celebrated with a bottle of champagne. And I do consider it to be a key experience as to why I am not pro-life.
Based on the level of her discourse, L. is clearly intelligent and reasonably well educated. She’s not accidentally offending others out of ignorance, it’s quite deliberate. I’m betting that the vast majority of what she posts wherever she goes is constructed with the sole purpose of upsetting everyone else.
How do I know this is a pattern of behavior with L? From her own admission:
I’m trying to tone my sarcasm down — a late new year’s resolution, after I recently offended some people at another Catholic blog.
I was also criticized on the other blog for dragging in irrelevant personal stories, which I admit I tend to do…
…someone once insisted I needed counseling after I said on a mommy blog that I didn’t like breastfeeding. Another loaded subject!
Why someone would spend their time looking for venues where she (or he) can deliberately annoy other people whose opinion she clearly neither shares nor respects, I have no idea.
I am impressed, Gerard, with your patience, your compassion toward L. at the start, and your willingness to welcome all who come to your “dinner table.” Personally, I don’t have that much forbearance.
Dang HTML code, I should have used STRONG instead of EM to create Gerard. I wish you had an “edit” feature in the comments section…
Fixed It! 🙂
RandomThoughts, I am kind of impressed you went back and read through all of my old comments and pasted such an extensive collection of the ones you found most offensive — it’s funny how you ignored the ones in which I’ve agreed with people (it’s also funny you included the breast-feeding comment!). I do stand by every word I have said here, though there are times I was tired or distracted and probably could have phrased some of my ideas better.
If indeed the only reason I am posting “inflammatory statements” is just to get a “negative reaction,” then what is the reason you are drawing even MORE attention to what I’ve said?
I’m always interested in why people write and say what they do, as much–no, even more–than what they write and say.
L., You seem to be a very angry, very hurt person. It comes through directly and indirectly through your words, through your responses to Gerard’s blog, through the dynamic you’ve set up for yourself here. Your methodology for coping with your inner pain is to find places like this blog to provoke the response–a harsh, negative one–that you, in your innermost self, believe you deserve. It may be subconscious on your part, but I don’t think so. I think you know what you are doing and you’ve been doing it for awhile now. It’s sad, and it makes me pity you, but it also makes me view you with a great deal of skepticism.
Your behavior is manipulative. Very manipulative.
I’ve watched the owner of this blog, an articulate, intelligent and very compassionate man, try to handle you with care and gentleness. The response on your part has been predictable–you’ve upped the ante, continuing to engage him in an effort to get what you want.
So he finally pulls one of your posts, and you act all innocent, all “I don’t know why…”
You do know. You got what you wanted, a smackdown of sorts. I have no doubt you will continue your behavior here–as you do on other blogs–until you get such a strong response that you leave thinking “They’re just the nasty hypocrites I believed they were when I came into the place.”
So far, nobody on this board has fallen for your tactics. It’s my hope that nobody does. That is why I bothered to clearly demonstrate through your own words the manipulation you’ve chosen to utilize.
As Gerard often says, “Get well soon.”
RandomThoughts, I, too, am always interested in why people write and say what they do, even more–than what they write and say.
I know you won’t believe me, but I’m a pretty happy person, raising a pretty normal family. We have some of the typical problems of straddling two very different countries and cultures, but overall, we seem to be doing fine so far — knock wood.
In other words, I have absolutely no motive for doing what you think I’m doing.
I read all kinds of blogs — several dozen, overall, though not all of them every day. They allow me a glimpse into worlds very similar to mine, and also very different from my own.
I tend to comment when 1) the blog owner allows it, and 2) when I have a strong opinion about a certain subject, often deeply rooted in my personal experience.
I have quoted this articulate comment of another blog commenter before, who put it into words very well:
“[This blogger] speaks sincerely. I consider that if I cannot read her words, however strong, consider them at face value, and affirm my own convictions, then I should change my point of view. I’m not afraid of the challenge.”
“You got what you wanted, a smackdown of sorts. I have no doubt you will continue your behavior here–as you do on other blogs–until you get such a strong response that you leave thinking ‘They’re just the nasty hypocrites I believed they were when I came into the place.'” —>
If I truly believed that everyone who thinks very differently from me was a “nasty hypocrite,” I wouldn’t waste so much time reading this blog.
//My parents failed to give me any kind of sexual information except for the words, “wait until marriage.//”
Scapegoating.
Untreated/denial(of) personal trauma= belief in having others pay for their pursuit of pleasure, via tax funded PP.
Argumentum ad Ignorantiam
This is the result of DISOBEDIENCE, we go back to the Garden of Eden. Satan talks beautifully to our ears, makes hear what we want to hear and gets what he wants.
Why calling a lie a truth and a truth a lie?
Abortion is a MURDER – a LIE satan has made us believe is necessary for us to move forward with our lives.
The TRUTH is very different -I AM the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE. Do we see the difference?
But even, if a woman has committed 100 abortions, never is too late to repent and to be FREE.
Here is the link to peace and reconciliation: Priestsforlife.org
Plan Parenthood is parented by Satan himself and we need to pray for those poor souls that “work” there and for the victims of those “workers.”

“L, said: They were my primary healthcare provider for many years, when I had very inadequate health insurance.”

That’s a great analogy and the word “apologist” is perfect.
