Phony Attempt To Punk Planned Parenthood Proved Nothing

As Gawker put it: “Even Teen Hookers Need Abortions.” By this point, non-conservative groups ought to see this coming, given the James O’Keefe stunts against ACORN and CNN and Senator Mary Landrieu.

The “sting” involved Lila Rose (pictured), an anti-abortion activist who trained under the wing of rapey lying trespasser James O’Keefe, sending actors into Planned Parenthood offices across the nation (so far she’s released footage from New Jersey and Virginia) pretending to be a young hooker and her pimp. In the New Jersey case, the “pimp” made clear to Planned Parenthood’s office manager that he was working with girls as young as 14 who need abortions and testing for STDs, and strongly suggested that they had been illegally brought to the U.S. from Asia (“they don’t speak English, they’re not even from here”). She responded by conspiratorially coaching the pimp on how to avoid getting reported to the authorities—”we want as little information as possible” because for girls “fourteen and under, we have to report”—and telling him that he needed to keep the girls doing “waist up” work for two weeks after any abortion procedures.

In Virginia, the couple presented the same front, and were told—truthfully and accurately—that minors can’t get abortions in Virginia without parental consent unless they seek “judicial bypass,” or permission from a judge to proceed without telling her parents.

Planned Parenthood notified the FBI about the possibility of either a sting operation or underage trafficking, and fired the New Jersey worker. But the Planned Parenthood workers did nothing illegal. They are not cops or judges; they’re service providers. And when are these conservative activists going to realize that these “sting” operations make them look worse than their purported targets?
