Heads Up, Pro-Lifers: “A lot to hide” ( Planned Parenthood )
California Catholic Daily ^ | March 17, 2009 | staff

LOS ANGELES -- Undercover videos produced by Live Action Films were used to help strip Planned Parenthood of the $292,000 in taxpayer funds it received from Orange County. The videos, part of the ongoing Mona Lisa Project, clearly show Planned Parenthood employees ignoring the sexual abuse of minors, which mandatory reporting laws require clinicians to report.

Mark Bucher, a local resident and board member of the Family Action PAC, saw the videos and decided to find out if Orange County gave taxpayer dollars to Planned Parenthood. Bucher proceeded to uncover an intricate money trail unknown even to the Orange County Board of Supervisors, and found that Planned Parenthood received funds through the Orange County Health Care Agency but was never identified as the recipient.

“The distribution of public funds to Planned Parenthood through the Orange County Health Care Agency appeared to be a deliberate cover-up since it was nearly impossible to detect where the money was going from the county to several different health clinics,” said Bucher. "After watching the undercover videos from Live Action, it became clear to me that Planned Parenthood has a lot to hide.” Bucher sent one of the undercover videos to every Orange County Supervisor, and encouraged them to cut Planned Parenthood's Orange County subsidies. Last week, the Orange Country Board of Supervisors unanimously voted to end taxpayer subsidies to Planned Parenthood.

“Regardless of one’s position on abortion, Planned Parenthood should not receive public funding because of their willingness to deliberately cover up sexual molestation and abuse,” said Bucher. “This 'non-profit' had a $115 million surplus last year, and certainly doesn’t need a bailout from our community.”

God Bless Mark Bucher, he’s done a good thing.

What needs to be done now, is to begin investigating Planned Parenthood to determine who should be charged with aiding and abetting sexual abuse of minors by their failure to report such crimes when made aware of them.

The willingness of Planned Parenthood to help hide sexual abuse of children has been known to people in the pro-life movement for at least 5 years. Those who want to give them even MORE money will not listen when told of the abuses and will only act when they are FORCED with cold hard evidence of crimes being committed in front of witnesses.

This policy by PP is simply in line with the left’s “sex positive” agenda. Google it.

It makes one wonder how many of these people actively worship Satan, because they are doing everything he wants them to.

I have heard that the number of under age black girls impregnated by adult men is astronomical, and that it is one of the most under-prosecuted crimes in the country.

Outstanding! Nice to see the State sponsored Butchers bereft of illegal funding.
