EMPTY HEAD, Also for you from the weekly standard,( I WOULD CALL THESE ACTIONS FROM THESE FRONT LINE PLANNED PARENT HOOD COUNSELORS "IGNORING" THE SEXUAL EXPLOITATION OF MINORS, WOULDN'T YOU EMPTY HEAD.)
Yesterday, pro-life activist Lila Rose released a
video that showed the manager of Planned Parenthood of Central New Jersey advising a man, posing as a sex trafficker, on how he should go about evading the law in order to get abortions and STD-testing for his 14-year-old prostitutes/sex slaves.
"We're involved in sex work," the man tells Planned Parenthood manager Amy Woodruff. "Some of [the prostitutes] are like, ah, they're kind of young. Some of them are like 15, 14, and some of them don't speak any English," he continues, asking Woodruff why the prostitutes shouldn't be worried they'll be reported while coming in for Planned Parenthood's services.

"As long as they just lie and say, 'Oh, [my sexual partner is] fifteen, sixteen.' You know, as long as they don't say 'fourteen' and as long as it's not too much of an age gap then we just kind of like--then we just kind of play stup[id]," says Woodruff.
"It's like, you know, she's still entitled to care without mom knowin' what the hell's goin' on," says Woodruff. As shocking as Woodruff's words may be, they're actually a concise summary of the
New Jersey Supreme Court's 2004 ruling that invalidated the state's parental consent law. Though legally protected in part by the court's decision to enshrine a right to abortion-on-demand for teens, the Planned Parenthood employee is still willing to run afoul of laws against covering up statutory rape and sex trafficking. Woodruff even gives the 'pimp' advice on what kind of sex acts his prostitutes should perform while they're recovering from abortions. "Waist up, or just be that extra action walking by,” she says.
Planned Parenthood's response to this sting video has been rather incoherent. On one hand, a spokesman for the organization accuses Lila Rose's group of using "
surreptitious videotaping and manipulative editing." That defense hasn't worked too well for the men caught on NBC's
To Catch a Predator, and it doesn't seem to be working out for Planned Parenthood either. Today Planned Parenthood
fired Woodruff for the statements she made on the tape. That's a clear concession that the tape is authentic and accurate, right? (And you don't need to take anyone's word for it. You can watch the full unedited version of the tape
