Memphis, TN -- A new undercover videotape shows staff at a Tennessee Planned Parenthood abortion clinic urging a client to lie about her potential sexual abuse so she could get an abortion. A girl who said she is 14 and sexually abused by a 31-year-old man was told to hide the information from a judge.

The staff members at the nation's largest abortion business told the young woman to conceal the information so a judge would approve her request for an abortion without parental involvement, which is require by state law except in emergency cases.

"Don't mention it. Just say you have a boyfriend 17 years old...whatever," the staffer says.

Instead of notifying officials about the apparent sexual abuse, a Planned Parenthood counselor tells Rose on camera that she doesn't want to continue the line of conversation about the sexual abuse.

"Look, if we keep this conversation I'm gonna have to talk to my manager and yeah, [your boyfriend]'s gonna get in trouble," the staffer says. "And please don't say that I told you this."

Here comes the outrage from CNN and MSN...

Culture of Corruption

This is criminal conspiracy.

They are in violation of child safety laws and are repeatedly showing themselves to be pro-rape by aiding and abetting criminal activity (the rapists and molestors go free and the evidence of their crime is “disposed” of).

Well it’s not like they are MORMONS.

Sounds like suborning perjury to me.

"showing themselves to be pro-rape by aiding and abetting criminal activity (the rapists and molestors go free and the evidence of their crime is “disposed” of)."

You are right! The leadership of the organization needs to be prosecuted under the RICO statute as they are willingly enabling the rapists and covering up their crimes.

This MORMAN would encourage her to have the baby and give it up for adoption. I would also report the “boyfriend” to the police, not encourage her to marry this scum.

[OriginalChristian]

So would the Catholics and most evangelicals, what is your point?

[ChildOfThe60s]

Better than punishing her with a child. And what sort of life can she have if we lock up her 31 year old boyfriend? That’s just plain mean.

PP gets millions every year from the government. Money confiscated from we extremists, our children and our grandchildren.

[grellis]

No Catholic in their right mind would encourage a 14-year old girl to have any kind of a relationship with a 30+ year old rapist. Good grief. No real Christian would.

[OneVike]

This is all based upon a sting operation by the young woman Rose. She is doing God's work, so all talk about the scenario she presents is moot.

Don't allow yourselves to get caught up in a debate about the fictitious pregnancy and the fictitious boyfriend. You lose the whole point if this story, which is the abortion clinic is breaking the law, the councilors and directors of the clinic should be arrested and the facility should be shut down.

[grellis]

As tangents go, the comments on this thread haven't been tremendously off-point. I don't see where any of us have lost "the whole point" of the story.

Yes, it is a crimnal conspiracy—two counts: 1) Conspiracy to cover-up a felony of stautatory rape 2) conspiracy of lying to a judge. The only problem is that the tape cannot be used. You cannot legally record a conservation between two parties without each other’s consent. In fact, “Mona Lisa” could be charged with a crime. In fact, I think that they were ordered to take down footage from another “sting operation” because of that.
