More Planned Parenthood Follies

This time, in Arizona.

New hidden-camera footage from Tucson, AZ, implicates a third Planned Parenthood clinic in a multi-state child abuse scandal. In the video, UCLA student Lila Rose and her friend Jackie Stollar enter a Tucson Planned Parenthood clinic where Rose tells the nurse that Stollar, posing as a 15-year-old, is pregnant by her 27-year-old boyfriend. The nurse disregards the age difference and even cautions Stollar not to bring her "boyfriend" before the judicial hearing required in Arizona to waive parental consent for an abortion. This negligence is punishable under Arizona law.

"Is he not a minor?" the Planned Parenthood nurse, who identifies herself as Araceli, asks. When Rose says, "He's 27," the nurse urges the girls not to bring him to the hearing: "I wouldn't take him with me, no. I mean: don't take him."

Oh, I know how Amanda Marcotte would respond (before banning you for bringing up an uncomfortable truth): this girl should have the choice! Even if she's underage and this should be considered rape!

This makes three tapes so far of Planned Parenthood using your tax dollars to break state laws. How many more have to be made before Planned Parenthood loses taxpayer funding?
