With a video camera hidden in her backpack, college student Lila Rose has become a rising star in the U.S. anti-abortion movement for her clandestine tactics in taking on Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest provider of surgical abortions.

Rose stages her own sting operations at Planned Parenthood clinics, posing as a pregnant teenage girl to shine a light on what she says is the taxpayer-subsidized organization's cover-up of sexual abuse.

God bless, Lila Rose.

Rising star in the US antiabortion movement

Horsecrap. Being creatures of the muck, the media sees everything as being covered in muck.

Godspeed.

I hope for her safety she doesn’t get caught. Wouldn’t surprise me if her photo is posted in all of these butcheries.

We all know just how ‘tolerant’ and ‘compassionate’ these lefties are. If they’re callous enough to kill a baby, they’re callous enough to do just about anything.

[Voter62vb]

That is such a good point. What does that do to a person that is in this business?

[SECURE AMERICA]

Never fear. She will shortly be on the Homeland Security Watch list and Obamas BrownShirts will pay her a personal visit.

Wouldn’t surprise me if her photo is posted in all of these butcheries.

Too late -- already done. Abortion clinics have circulated her pic. A lot of pro-death groups are saying she should be prosecuted for fraud.

This girl is very courageous -- a true warrior for the unborn.

However, if they try to go after this young girl, it will boomerang against them politically.

Bttt. Yes, God bless Lila Rose.

"taxpayer-subsidized organization's cover-up of sexual abuse."

In a just world, the same level of outrage that was directed at the Catholic Church over its sexual abuse scandal would now be focused on Planned Parenthood.

Hey Reuters, it appears to me that she's an anti-child-rape crusader. She goes after those that aid and abet the crime.

Planned parenthood provides safe haven for child molestors and assists them in destroying the evidence of their crime. Spin this.

A lot of pro-death groups are saying she should be prosecuted for fraud.

Aren't these the same groups that have gone into a confessional in a Catholic Church, telling a made-up litany of "sins," to publicly expose the penance given? Is this the same kind of fraud?

[RansomOttawa]

From the article:

Planned Parenthood clinics have posted Rose's picture to alert workers . . .

Translation: "If you see this girl, don't get caught covering up statutory rape."

. . . and U.S. News and World Report blogger Bonnie Erbe demanded to know why she had not been arrested for trespassing or fraud.

IANAL, but my understanding is that if a place of business is open to the public, then she is an invitee, not a trespasser - at least, until they ask her to leave. Nor is investigative journalism in the public interest "fraud", so I don't see what Erbe thinks she should be arrested for - unless she wants the staff journalists of U.S. News and World Report, 60 Minutes, and so forth journalists to also be charged with fraud every time they pose as someone they're not to get access to information for a news story?

They can get away with anything. You cannot go out in public without walking into a murderer or an accomplice. Evil has unlimited political support.

[Soothesayer]

They never cared about the sex abuse. It was all about finding an excuse to hate religion. Do not overestimate the quality of most people.

A very brave young lady. Prayers up.
