Video Shows Planned Parenthood Ignores Sexual Abuse of Minor

Life Action, a California-based pro life group, has just released an undercover video that shows Planned Parenthood ignoring child sexual abuse. The footage was taken at Tuscon Arizona Planned Parenthood clinic. The video shows an actress, posing as a pregnant 15-year-old, who informs Planned Parenthood staff that the baby's father is age 27. Instead of fulfilling the legal requirement to report the abuse, Planned Parenthood advised the girl not to bring the man to her judicial review hearing. (The hearing is required by Arizona law to waive parental consent for the abortion.)
