			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After exposing Planned Parenthood&#8217;s willingness to cover up the statutory rape and sexual abuse of young girls with <a href=http://liveaction.org/mona-lisa>The Mona Lisa Project</a>, and <a href=http://liveaction.org/racism-investigation/the-planned-parenthood-racism-project>the continuation of Margaret Sanger&#8217;s legacy of racism and eugenics</a>, Live Action launched a new undercover investigation: <a href=http://liveaction.org/rosa-acuna>The Rosa Acuna Project</a>.  It is named for <a href=http://www.trinitylegalcenter.org/Acuna.html>Rosa Acuna</a>.  </p>
<blockquote><p>Rosa Acuna was examined by her physician, had an ultrasound, and was told she was 6-8 weeks pregnant. When she asked if it was a “baby in there,” she was told,“don’t be stupid, it’s only blood.” Following an abortion, Rosa experienced bleeding and was admitted to a hospital. When she asked a nurse what had happened, she was told that “the doctor left parts of the baby inside of you.” At<br />
this point, Rosa realized it was a baby. Subsequently, her mental health<br />
deteriorated, and she was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder.</p>
<p>Rosa filed a lawsuit, and both the district and appellate courts agreed that she should have been fully informed, including being told that she was carrying a human being. However, the New Jersey Supreme Court ruled that the abortionist was under no obligation to give her the information she had asked about – that she was carrying a baby! Citing the 35-year-old Roe v. Wade ruling, the court reasoned that the abortionist is not compelled to provide this information because there are “different scientific, moral, or philosophical viewpoint on the issue of when life begins.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Live Action launched a multi-state undercover investigation of Planned Parenthood to find that counselors typically use misleading, manipulative, and exploitative information to convince women to get abortions.  There have been two videos already released, from Planned Parenthoods in Appleton and Milwaukee Wisconsin, and now, <a href=http://liveaction.org/press/planned-parenthood-indiana-fabricated-medical-information>Live Action has released a third from a clinic in Indianapolis, Indiana</a>.</p>
<p><center><object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Z_HoM6213kc&#038;color1=0xb1b1b1&#038;color2=0xd0d0d0&#038;hl=en_US&#038;feature=player_embedded&#038;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Z_HoM6213kc&#038;color1=0xb1b1b1&#038;color2=0xd0d0d0&#038;hl=en_US&#038;feature=player_embedded&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="385"></embed></object></center></p>
<blockquote><p>When the woman, purportedly 10-weeks pregnant, asks the clinician, named &#8220;Sarah,&#8221; when her baby&#8217;s heart begins to beat, Sarah replies, &#8220;It&#8217;s around I think the 8th or the 9th week that you can hear the heartbeat.&#8221; The heart actually begins beating 3 weeks and 1 day after conception, according to Moore and Persaud&#8217;s well-known textbook The Developing Human: Clinically Oriented Embryology. The Planned Parenthood clinician also insists, &#8220;It&#8217;s not a baby, it&#8217;s a fetus,&#8221; which, she claims, is &#8220;not like a person.&#8221;</p>
<p>In the video, Sarah assures the woman that &#8220;having an abortion is safer than carrying to term.&#8221; The woman asks, &#8220;The abortion won&#8217;t hurt me from having more kids in the future, will it?&#8221; and the counselor replies, &#8220;Nope.&#8221; But a 2009 study from the Obstetrical and Gynecological Survey recently found that a previous abortion increased a woman&#8217;s risk of pre-term birth by 20%, and a 2003 report from the Shanghai Institute of Planned Parenthood Research notes a 55% increased risk of future miscarriages for women who have abortions.</p>
<p>Lila Rose, UCLA student and president of Live Action, says the new footage places Planned Parenthood well outside the medical mainstream. &#8220;Planned Parenthood&#8217;s counseling is based on its abortion-first mentality rather than the medical facts that women need,&#8221; observes Rose. &#8220;Planned Parenthood gives vulnerable women misinformation to sell them the abortion.&#8221; Indiana informed consent state law requires that women receive accurate medical information before undergoing an abortion.</p></blockquote>
<p>As Lila said, this is entirely about selling abortions.  Abortion is a lucrative business.  What we see from Live Action&#8217;s undercover videos time and time again is that the &#8220;counselors&#8221; never offer an alternative to these women.  They&#8217;re confused, they&#8217;re scared, they&#8217;re vulnerable, and Planned Parenthood takes advantage of them by lying to them with manipulative and inaccurate information.  Why? <em>To make money.</em>  Planned Parenthood doesn&#8217;t get any money if the woman decides to keep the baby or give it up for adoption.  In 2007, Planned Parenthood <a href=http://www.cassyfiano.com/2010/03/how-many-lives-does-planned-parenthood-take-in-one-year>performed 305,310 abortions</a>&#8230; and only referred 4,912 adoptions.  </p>
<p>It&#8217;s all about the money for them.  These &#8220;counselors&#8221; aren&#8217;t there to help women during a time of crisis.  They&#8217;re salespeople, out to make a sale.  Planned Parenthood makes millions of dollars off of abortions, on top of the millions of taxpayer funding they already receive, and why would they want to give that up?</p>
<p>This is why pro-life advocates push for mandatory ultrasounds.  Women seeking abortions deserve to know the truth, and instead, they&#8217;re lied to and manipulated.  These Planned Parenthood counselors have goods to sell, after all, and the murders of unborn children must happen no matter what.  If women know the truth, they&#8217;re not as likely to have the abortion.  Lying to women doesn&#8217;t matter as long as abortions are being performed &#8212; and the femisogynists go right along with it.  As <a href=http://www.cassyfiano.com/2009/12/new-undercover-planned-parenthood-video-from-live-action-the-rosa-acuna-project>I said before</a>,</p>
<blockquote><p>Meanwhile, feminists (who ardently defend Planned Parenthood and their abortion mill) have been silent about Lila Rose and all that she’s uncovered. Jessica Valenti, for example, seems to have no problem with covering up the sexual abuse of minors, as long as it leads to abortion, the sacred cow of feminism. Planned Parenthood must be defended and the taxpayer funding cannot be revoked. To feminists, “the right the choose” is more important than anything unethical or immoral that an abortionist may do. It can cover all manner of ills. </p></blockquote>
<p>They self-righteously huff that women know enough to make their own choice, but if they&#8217;re lied to and uninformed, how can they really make a choice?  If abortion advocates were truly pro-choice, then they&#8217;d be outraged over these lies and manipulative tactics.  But they aren&#8217;t pro-choice, they&#8217;re pro-abortion, and abortion clinics like Planned Parenthood are selling the murders of unborn children at any cost.</p>
<p>Forward this story on.  These undercover videos will keep coming from Live Action &#8212; and how many of them need to be released before people wake up to the evil of Planned Parenthood?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href=http://liveaction.org/index.php/projects/rosaacuna/140>Live Action has debuted their second video in The Rosa Acuna Project</a>, designed to show how Planned Parenthood uses manipulative counseling and lies to push teenage girls into getting abortions.  This video, which takes place in Milwaukee, WI, is horrifying. </p>
<p><center><object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/t3qisxPnbhg&#038;color1=0xb1b1b1&#038;color2=0xcfcfcf&#038;hl=en_US&#038;feature=player_embedded&#038;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/t3qisxPnbhg&#038;color1=0xb1b1b1&#038;color2=0xcfcfcf&#038;hl=en_US&#038;feature=player_embedded&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="385"></embed></object></center></p>
<p>The lies told by the counselor are flagrant and and reprehensible.  A girl goes in wanting to get information and is given nothing but lies.  And why?  Because the Planned Parenthood counselor isn&#8217;t a counselor at all, but a salesperson with goods to sell.  And those goods are the murders of unborn children, even if it is at the expense of a frightened, confused young girl looking to find help.  </p>
<p>The counselor was told that the teen was between six and eight weeks pregnant.  When asked if there is a baby, she is told that there is only &#8220;fetal matter&#8230; no arms, no legs, no heart, no head, no brains&#8221;.  This is a blatant lie.  </p>
<p>At six weeks, there is already a heartbeat and a head.  Muscles and skeletal structure are beginning to form.  At seven weeks, the arms and legs are beginning to form, and both hemispheres of the brain have become more developed.  At eight weeks, the baby has fingers and toes.  Nerve cells in the brain are starting to branch out and connect with each other.  </p>
<p>But according to the Planned Parenthood counselor, all of this is non-existent.  All that exists is &#8220;fetal matter&#8221;.  </p>
<p>The counselor even goes so far as to try to talk the teen out of adoption, calling all of the aborted children &#8220;burdens&#8221;.  The counselor clearly was making the case that, if not for abortion, we would have millions of unwanted children, presumably with no homes.  Of course, as Live Action points out in the video, there are <em>far</em> more couples seeking babies to adopt than children who actually get adopted. </p>
<p>Like I said, Planned Parenthood doesn&#8217;t have counselors.  They have salespeople.  Notice how this woman uses a technique you might recognize if you&#8217;ve ever bought a vehicle from a dealership, ever.  It&#8217;s the &#8220;buy it now, because this offer won&#8217;t be available tomorrow!&#8221; technique.  The salesperson tries to rush you into doing it right away, because they know you&#8217;re less likely to make the deal if you wait until later.  It&#8217;s awful when you consider that this is someone who is supposed to be <em>helping</em> girls make the best decision for them.  They&#8217;re going to Planned Parenthood scared, confused, angry maybe&#8230; and they&#8217;re being manipulated and taken advantage of.  Planned Parenthood receives millions in taxpayer funding, and yet they still operate on an abortion-first basis out of greed and bloodlust.  </p>
<p>This is not only unethical.  It&#8217;s illegal.  As Live Action points out,</p>
<blockquote><p>Wisconsin law requires women to receive medically accurate information before obtaining an abortion. The America Medical Association indicates in its Code of Ethics that &#8220;the physician’s obligation is to present the medical facts accurately to the patient.&#8221;</p>
<p>Lila Rose, UCLA student and president of Live Action, says the new footage further confirms the deceptive and manipulative practices of Planned Parenthood: &#8220;Planned Parenthood has an abortion-first mentality that is driven both by ideology and the desire for money,&#8221; says Rose. &#8220;Since women will often choose against abortion if they learn the scientific facts about the unborn child inside the womb, Planned Parenthood distorts basic facts in an attempt to perform more abortions.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>And this isn&#8217;t the first time Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin has shown a fondness towards breaking the law.  Just last February they were caught in another of Live Action&#8217;s undercover stings covering up the sexual abuse of a minor.  </p>
<p>I say this every time Live Action comes out with another of their undercover investigations of Planned Parenthood.  This is an evil organization.  They manipulate young girls, they peddle in eugenics, they cover up the sexual abuse of minors, and they do it all for blood and money, and all with taxpayer subsidies.  Thank God for the work of Live Action and Lila Rose, for uncovering the evil and wickedness of this bloodthirsty organization.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lila Rose has done it again, exposing yet another Planned Parenthood clinic breaking the law.  This is the tenth clinic exposed in the Mona Lisa Project with Live Action Films (you can see the great work she&#8217;s done in the past <a href=http://www.cassyfiano.com/category/lila-rose>here</a>), where she&#8217;s shown how Planned Parenthood clinics cover up the sexual abuse of a child and tell young girls how to avoid parental notification. </p>
<p>This video comes from Milwaukee, WI:</p>
<p><center><object width="425" height="349"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Y3besWlxHhc&#038;border=1&#038;color1=0xb1b1b1&#038;color2=0xcfcfcf&#038;hl=en_US&#038;feature=player_embedded&#038;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Y3besWlxHhc&#038;border=1&#038;color1=0xb1b1b1&#038;color2=0xcfcfcf&#038;hl=en_US&#038;feature=player_embedded&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="425" height="349"></embed></object></center></p>
<p>This debuts at a good time, considering the release of Barack Obama&#8217;s new health care plan.  It was revealed yesterday that <a href=http://www.lifenews.com/nat6032.html>$7 billion is going towards community health centers</a>, hidden in a provision.  How much of that money will be going to Planned Parenthood clinics across the country?  How much of it will be going to other abortion clinics?  </p>
<p>At a time when it&#8217;s being shown that Planned Parenthood flagrantly refuses to follow the law, Obama is setting up his new health care plan to enable more abortion funding.  What does that say about how extremist Obama is in his pro-abortion views?  Pro-life or pro-abortion, what happens in these clinics should make you sick.  Any rational person who had even the slightest hint of morals wouldn&#8217;t allow the actions of Planned Parenthood to go on unpunished &#8212; yet that is exactly what has happened in state after state after state.  </p>
<p>And worst of all (though unsurprising), far from condemning this activity, Obama is gearing up to funnel even more money to this illegal organization.</p>
<p>At least there is someone out there who will keep working to expose Planned Parenthood as the evil organization that it truly is.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A pro-life billboard from <a href=http://www.grtl.org/>Georgia Right To Life</a> has liberals and feminists hopping mad, angry about being confronted with an uncomfortable truth.  The billboard looks like this:</p>
<p><center><a href="http://www.cassyfiano.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/abortionga.jpg"><img src="http://www.cassyfiano.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/abortionga-300x196.jpg" alt="" title="abortionga" width="300" height="196" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3870" /></a></center></p>
<p>The billboards are clearly meant to catch your attention, and draw attention to the fact that minorities get a disproportionately large number of abortions, and <em>especially</em> in Georgia.  Even the New York Times, which writes about the controversy with sentences dripping with disdain, is forced to admit the troubling statistics are real.</p>
<blockquote><p>In 2006, 57.4 percent of the abortions in Georgia were performed on black women, even though blacks make up about 30 percent of the population, according to the most recent figures from the federal Centers for Disease Control. Of the 37 states that reported abortion data by race, Georgia was second only to New York and Texas in the number of abortions performed on black women. Only Mississippi and Maryland reported a higher percentage of abortions going to black women than Georgia.</p></blockquote>
<p> <a href=http://www.census.gov/compendia/statab/2010/tables/10s0100.pdf>The Census Bureau reported</a> similar numbers for African-Americans nationwide.  In 2005, black women had a rate of 49.3 abortions for every 1,000 performed as opposed to 13.6 for white women.  Hispanic women came next at 26.  Does this make black children &#8220;endangered&#8221;?  Hardly.  The fertility rate for black women is also higher, so of course black children are not literally in danger of becoming extinct.  But I think it seems clear the the billboards are part of a shock campaign designed to get the attention of black women.  Feminists and liberals know this, I&#8217;m sure, and are feigning outrage because <em>Heaven forbid</em> the public is exposed to any kind of pro-life messaging.  </p>
<p>Most people, with the exception of strong pro-lifers, don&#8217;t know that black women get a disproportionate number of abortions.  They also don&#8217;t know the disturbing background of Planned Parenthood&#8230; and that <a href=http://article.nationalreview.com/353890/a-dark-past/jonah-goldberg>its founder, Margaret Sanger, was a racist who was a proponent of eugenics</a>.  This video from the American Life League, for example, details how deep racism and eugenics ran in Margaret Sanger.</p>
<p><center><object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/kEja-1emRic&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/kEja-1emRic&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object></center>  </p>
<p>Eugenics still have a home at Planned Parenthood too, as <a href=http://liveaction.org/index.php/projects/racism>Lila Rose was able to find out</a> in an undercover investigation.</p>
<p>So while this ad campaign may be shocking and a little over-the-top, it&#8217;s certainly making a valid point.  The website featured on the billboards, <a href=http://www.toomanyaborted.com>www.toomanyaborted.com</a>, exposes Planned Parenthood&#8217;s racist past and the sad statistics for abortions black women get in Georgia and across the country.  Did you know, for example, that 94% of all abortion clinics are located in urban areas?  Nationwide, blacks make up 12.8% of the population but account for 36.4% of all abortions.  43% of all black pregnancies end in abortion.  Who can look at those statistics and feel their heart swell with pride?  I doubt that there&#8217;s a vast racist conspiracy going on to exterminate the black race.  I do think that Planned Parenthood happily profits off of underprivileged black women without ever giving them a chance to explore other options.  </p>
<p>Once again, I can&#8217;t help but notice how &#8220;pro-choice&#8221; really means pro-abortion.  Feminists and liberals howl with outrage whenever anything negative about abortion is even so much as mentioned.  Why?  Is the pro-abortion position really so fragile that they cannot handle the thought of Americans being informed about the gruesome nature of abortion?  Most Americans don&#8217;t cheer the idea of a baby never getting the opportunity to live their life.  They see it as a tragedy.  But pro-choicers can&#8217;t handle that tragedy being brought to light&#8230; which, again, leads me to believe that it isn&#8217;t that they are for women making their own choice about their bodies.  They <em>want</em> women to have abortions.  </p>
<p>The abortion lobby, and especially Planned Parenthood, shows itself over and over again to be evil, out for blood and money.  Black women deserve to know the truth about how they are being targeted.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Breaking news: <a href=http://www.mercurynews.com/breaking-news/ci_14373272>a Birmingham Planned Parenthood clinic has been placed on probation</a> due to Lila Rose&#8217;s undercover work with the Mona Lisa project.</p>
<blockquote><p>A Birmingham abortion clinic that was targeted in an undercover sting by anti-abortion activists has been put on probation by the state.<br />
State health officials tell The Associated Press that the Planned Parenthood clinic has until next week to present its plan to correct violations involving minors receiving abortions. </p>
<p>Investigators with the department said records at the clinic showed several minors aged 13-15 had received abortions without proper verification of parental consent since November 2008. </p>
<p>Activists with &#8220;Live Action,&#8221; a California-based anti-abortion group, posed as a pregnant 14-year-old girl who needed a secret abortion. In an audio tape from the visit, an employee allegedly suggests that someone other than a parent or legal guardian could give consent. </p>
<p>The group&#8217;s claim last year led Alabama health officials to investigate.</p></blockquote>
<p>Here is the video that prompted the investigation:</p>
<p><center><embed src="http://blip.tv/play/AYGNzEUC" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="390" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></center></p>
<p>This is a huge victory for <a href=http://www.liveaction.org>Live Action</a> and for Lila Rose.  Lila went undercover at <em>eight</em> Planned Parenthood clinics in the Mona Lisa project, and there have been multiple other violations uncovered across the country.  Yet so far, this is the only clinic that has seen repercussions.  This particular clinic was found to not only cover up the rape of a minor, but also to try to circumvent parental notification laws.  Sadly, what we&#8217;ve all speculated about has turned out to be true.  It&#8217;s only acting when Lila Rose and Jackie Stollar go into these clinics, but how many real underaged girls &#8212; scared, confused girls who could possibly be victims of abuse &#8212; is this happening to?  This clinic was found to have several records of this happening.  Imagine how many girls across the country are victims of pedophiles and abusers, and are taken advantage of by an evil organization out for blood and money.</p>
<p>Thankfully, this clinic is being held accountable &#8212; but what about the other seven?  And don&#8217;t forget, Planned Parenthood still receives <em>millions</em> in taxpayer dollars from our government.  </p>
<p>It is one thing to be for abortion, but there is absolutely no defense whatsoever for what is happening in these Planned Parenthood clinics.  Lila Rose has done a fantastic job exposing them for what they really are, and it&#8217;s too bad that this is the only clinic so far to have to potentially face justice for their illegal and immoral activities.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lila Rose is a well known pro-life advocate.  As the president and founder of <a href=http://www.liveaction.org>Live Action</a>, she&#8217;s done a lot of <a href=http://www.cassyfiano.com/category/lila-rose>really amazing work exposing Planned Parenthood for what they really are</a>: an evil organization looking to profit off of the slaughter of the unborn by any means necessary.  They&#8217;ll manipulate women into getting abortions.  They&#8217;ll lie about the science.  And time after time, they&#8217;ve been proven to look the other way when cases of alleged statutory rape are presented to them.  All of this has been exposed to be light thanks to the hard work of Lila Rose.  Whether you are for or against abortion is really irrelevant &#8212; every parent in America should be against Planned Parenthood for the crimes they commit and the lack of ethics possessed by this organization.  </p>
<p>Given all that, it&#8217;s really not a surprise what happened about a month and a half ago.  While visiting a clinic in San Jose, CA, <a href=http://liveaction.org/index.php/media/press/111>a male Planned Parenthood escort approached her&#8230; and then struck her</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>At approximately 11:50am on Thursday, December 17th, 2009, Live Action President Lila Rose was struck by a male uniformed Planned Parenthood escort. The attack occurred on a public sidewalk outside a Planned Parenthood affiliate located at 1691 The Alameda in San Jose, California.</p>
<p>Lila Rose was visiting the abortion clinic with a group of about 20 students and three adults to pray and provide information to women who might be open to abortion alternatives.</p>
<p>According to a police report filed at the scene, supported by several witnesses, the following interaction took place between Miss Rose and the uniformed Planned Parenthood escort:</p>
<p>Rose, from the public sidewalk: &#8220;Sir, are you familiar with the abortion procedure?&#8221;<br />
Escort approaches Rose rapidly from Planned Parenthood parking lot, says, &#8220;You idiot. You&#8217;ve caused so much trouble. You piece of crap.&#8221;<br />
Rose offers to show Escort a picture: &#8220;Can I show you a picture of what it really does to a baby?&#8221;<br />
The Escort strikes Miss Rose&#8217;s hand, knocking literature and Bible to the ground. Rose steps further back on sidewalk, Escort steps towards Rose.<br />
Escort, visibly shaking, says, &#8220;It&#8217;s a woman&#8217;s choice!&#8221;<br />
Rose says, &#8220;What about the baby&#8217;s choice?&#8221;<br />
Escort says, &#8220;It&#8217;s not a baby!&#8221; Escort turns around and walks away.</p>
<p>Police were called and interviewed the victim and several witnesses. Rose sustained no injuries from the attack. Charges of assault and battery are pending. There have been no apologies.</p>
<p>Live Action maintains a strong commitment to non-violent public discourse. We expect Planned Parenthood will respond to their escort&#8217;s attack by publicly disavowing the use of violence.</p></blockquote>
<p>I was asked by Live Action to try to contact Planned Parenthood and get a response from them about this incident.  I genuinely wanted to know their side of the story.  Have they done their own investigation into this?  Is the escort, a <a href=http://www.gdnordley.com/>Gerard Nordley</a>, still working with Planned Parenthood?  Do they have a statement?  Will they issue an apology?  </p>
<p>I called their public relations department repeatedly for over a month.  I left message after message.  I never received a single phone call to follow up about this incident, or a single e-mail.  This leads me to believe that Lila Rose&#8217;s statement is indeed accurate, and that Planned Parenthood is trying to keep this quiet.  I understand the role of escorts for abortion clinics, and approaching the abortion protestors is not in the job description.  Assaulting them is <em>definitely</em> not.  Lila wasn&#8217;t hurt, thankfully, but what happens next time?  If this man wasn&#8217;t even disciplined for his actions, what will keep him from taking it a step further with someone else?  And if Planned Parenthood does not discipline this man in any way, or issue an apology to Lila Rose, then you have to assume that they approve of his behavior.  </p>
<p>Just one more thing to add to the list of reasons why this organization is truly rotten to the core. </p>
<p><strong>UPDATE:</strong> I wanted to issue a note to clear up the confusion surrounding the Gerard &#8211; Gerald Nordley website.  I contacted Lila to confirm that the man on the website is indeed the man who assaulted her, and she did.  Also, the church he says he attends on his website is apparently not far from San Jose, CA.  Hope that answers some questions. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lila Rose, founder of <a href=http://www.liveaction.org>Live Action Films</a>, has done a lot of groundbreaking work doing undercover investigations of Planned Parenthood.  From exposing Planned Parenthood&#8217;s cover-ups of sexual abuse to accepting donations targeting black babies, <a href=http://www.cassyfiano.com/category/lila-rose>she&#8217;s uncovered it all</a>.  There were videos of Planned Parenthoods across the country, in multiple cities in multiple states, using similar tactics and techniques at each clinic.  </p>
<p>Now, Lila Rose has unveiled a new project, the Rosa Acuna Project.  This is designed to show how Planned Parenthood lies and manipulates women to coerce them into getting abortions.  The first video, from Appleton, WI showcases just how far their &#8220;counselors&#8221; will go to get another sell.</p>
<p><center><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/UIXHrusvMDw&#038;color1=0x3a3a3a&#038;color2=0x999999&#038;hl=en_US&#038;feature=player_embedded&#038;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/UIXHrusvMDw&#038;color1=0x3a3a3a&#038;color2=0x999999&#038;hl=en_US&#038;feature=player_embedded&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></center></p>
<blockquote><p>New undercover footage from an Appleton, WI Planned Parenthood abortion clinic shows clinic staff, including the abortion doctor, lying to two young women about fetal development and encouraging the one who is pregnant to obtain an abortion because &#8220;women die having babies.&#8221;</p>
<p>In the undercover video, when the two women ask a Planned Parenthood counselor if the pregnant woman&#8217;s 10-week-old unborn child has a heartbeat, the counselor emphasizes &#8220;heart tones,&#8221; and answers, &#8220;Heart beat is when the fetus is active in the uterus&#8211;can survive&#8211;which is about seventeen or eighteen weeks.&#8221; On the contrary, embryologists agree that the heartbeat begins around 3 weeks. Wisconsin informed consent law requires that women receive medically accurate information before undergoing an abortion. </p>
<p>The counselor then says, &#8220;A fetus is what&#8217;s in the uterus right now. That is not a baby.&#8221; Dr. Prohaska, the abortion doctor, insists, &#8220;It&#8217;s not a baby at this stage or anything like that.&#8221; Prohaska also states that having an abortion will be &#8220;much safer than having a baby,&#8221; warning, &#8220;You know, women die having babies.&#8221;</p>
<p>The video comes one month after the widely reported resignation of Planned Parenthood clinic director Abby Johnson. Johnson left her leadership position at Planned Parenthood in Bryan, TX after watching a 13-week old fetus being aborted in her clinic on ultrasound. She said during a recent interview, &#8220;Planned Parenthood really tries to instill in their employees and the women that are coming in for abortions that this is not a baby.&#8221; In another interview, she noted, &#8220;They don&#8217;t want to talk about when your baby has a heartbeat,&#8221; because &#8220;they don&#8217;t want to give the woman information that could give her a connection with her baby.&#8221;</p>
<p>The investigation is organized by Live Action, a nonprofit student group. Lila Rose, the 21-year-old UCLA student and Live Action president, says medical lies and manipulative counseling are routine at Planned Parenthood, the nation&#8217;s largest abortion chain.</p>
<p>&#8220;They will do or say anything in order to sell more abortions to more women, whether it is covering up sexual abuse or lying to women about medical facts,&#8221; says Rose. &#8220;Our team has visited dozens of Planned Parenthood clinics undercover. Planned Parenthood, while claiming to support patient self-determination, operates with an &#8216;abortion-first mentality.&#8217;&#8221;</p>
<p>The video is the first in Live Action&#8217;s &#8220;Rosa Acuna Project,&#8221; a multi-state undercover audit documenting Planned Parenthood&#8217;s abortion counseling. Planned Parenthood has come under fire recently after Live Action&#8217;s investigations found them willing to conceal sexual abuse and accept donations targeted to abort African-Americans only. Videos of abuse cover-up prompted state investigations of Planned Parenthood and diversion of the abortion giant&#8217;s public subsidies.</p>
<p>&#8220;Planned Parenthood is a billion-dollar organization with nearly $350 million of government funding, and stands to gain hundreds of millions more from national health care,&#8221; says Rose. &#8220;Do we really want to subsidize an organization that gives women in need atrocious misinformation and predatory abortion practices?&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>It&#8217;s all about the money for Planned Parenthood.  And, like most pro-choicers (especially the feminists), it isn&#8217;t really about choice.  They want women to have abortions, so badly that they&#8217;ll lie and manipulate women to get them to have them.  This is, of course, because the abortion business is a lucrative business.  Planned Parenthood makes millions off of abortions.  It doesn&#8217;t matter that a <strike>fetus</strike> baby actually does have its own DNA, separate from the mother&#8217;s, at the moment of conception.  It doesn&#8217;t matter that the heart actually does begin beating at three weeks, and that there is no such thing as <em>heart tones</em>.  Planned Parenthood wants to get abortions, and more importantly, they want to get the lucrative money from performing abortions.  As for helping women make the right choice, to Planned Parenthood staffers there is only one right choice, and that&#8217;s abortion.  They don&#8217;t want women to make their own choices, they want women to make the Planned Parenthood choice.  </p>
<p>Meanwhile, feminists (who ardently defend Planned Parenthood and their abortion mill) have been silent about Lila Rose and all that she&#8217;s uncovered.  <a href=http://www.feministing.com>Jessica Valenti</a>, for example, seems to have no problem with covering up the sexual abuse of minors, as long as it leads to abortion, the sacred cow of feminism.  Planned Parenthood must be defended and the taxpayer funding cannot be revoked.  To feminists, &#8220;the right the choose&#8221; is more important than anything unethical or immoral that an abortionist may do.  It can cover all manner of ills.  </p>
<p>Lila Rose&#8217;s Rosa Acuna Project apparently has more videos to come.  How much undercover investigation does Lila Rose have to do before people stop excusing the evil of Planned Parenthood?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve spent some time defending my generation.  While many of them are your typical twenty-somethings &#8212; idealistic, empty-headed liberals who believe whatever their college professors or favorite Hollywood celebrities say &#8212; there are plenty of us out there who are different. Think of me.  Think of Jason Mattera.  Think of Lila Rose.  Think of the men and women who witnessed 9-11 and joined the military to defend our freedoms.  We may be outnumbered, but we&#8217;re out there.  And unfortunately, many of the young, naive liberals who voted for Obama are doing nothing more than swallowing the crap they&#8217;ve been spoon-fed for much of their lives.  If they didn&#8217;t encounter indoctrination in middle school, they surely heard it in high school or college.  They watch MTV and hear the celebrities they idolize spewing left-wing drivel and they believe it, because it backs up what they&#8217;ve heard their college professors say.  They join up with the left-leaning <em>Rock the Vote</em> for their first election and think that they&#8217;re getting the facts, and they think they&#8217;re doing a good thing. Young people are typically liberal because they simply haven&#8217;t grown up yet, haven&#8217;t had to live with the consequences of liberal politics, haven&#8217;t had anyone show them any evidence of why conservatism is better.  As they get older and start taking on more responsibilities, they usually become more conservative.</p>
<p>For many of the people making up my generation, however, that growing-up phase may be coming sooner rather than later.  The kids who so enthusiastically voted for Obama may be regretting it now that <a href=http://www.nypost.com/p/news/business/the_dead_end_kids_AnwaWNOGqsXMuIlGONNX1K>his policies are making it harder and harder for them to get a job</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>The number of young Americans without a job has exploded to 53.4 percent — a post-World War II high, according to the Labor Dept. — meaning millions of Americans are staring at the likelihood that their lifetime earning potential will be diminished and, combined with the predicted slow economic recovery, their transition into productive members of society could be put on hold for an extended period of time. </p>
<p>The number represents the flip-side to the Labor Dept.&#8217;s report that the employment rate of 16-to-24 year olds has eroded to 46.6 percent &#8212; the lowest ratio of working young Americans in that age group, including all but those in the military, since WWII.</p>
<p>And worse, without a clear economic recovery plan aimed at creating entry-level jobs, the odds of many of these young adults &#8212; aged 16 to 24, excluding students &#8212; getting a job and moving out of their parents&#8217; houses are long. Young workers have been among the hardest hit during the current recession &#8212; in which a total of 6.9 million jobs have been lost. </p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s an extremely dire situation in the short run,&#8221; said Heidi Shierholz, an economist with the Washington-based Economic Policy Institute. &#8220;This group won&#8217;t do as well as their parents unless the jobs situation changes.&#8221; </p></blockquote>
<p>They not only won&#8217;t do as well, but they&#8217;ll have trillions of dollars of debt to contend with as well.  And without getting a head start on their career path, they&#8217;ll be finding it difficult to invest and save for the future &#8212; for having children, for paying for those children&#8217;s college tuitions, for their retirements, and so on.  It&#8217;s a bleak outlook right now for young people, who have a hard enough time getting ahead as it is, especially when so many young people have literally tens of thousands of debt to pay off from student loans.  With this economy being so slow to recover, it&#8217;s unlikely that this situation will change much.  And unless they&#8217;ve been smart with their money from the beginning, things could be extremely rough for them for the next ten to fifteen years.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lila Rose and Jackie Stollar have uncovered yet another case of Planned Parenthood covering up abuse of a minor.  This time, they bring us a video from a Planned Parenthood in <a href=http://liveaction.org/alabama/index.htm>Birmingham, Alabama</a>.</p>
<p><center><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/VfCJyw2lyAg&#038;color1=0xb1b1b1&#038;color2=0xcfcfcf&#038;hl=en&#038;feature=player_embedded&#038;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/VfCJyw2lyAg&#038;color1=0xb1b1b1&#038;color2=0xcfcfcf&#038;hl=en&#038;feature=player_embedded&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></center></p>
<blockquote><p>A Planned Parenthood counselor in Birmingham was caught on hidden camera telling an alleged 14-year-old statutory rape victim that the clinic &#8220;does sometimes bend the rules a little bit&#8221; rather than report sexual abuse to state authorities. This is the seventh Planned Parenthood clinic implicated in a multi-state child abuse scandal involving the deliberate and unlawful suppression of evidence of statutory rape.</p>
<p>Lila Rose, 20-year-old UCLA student and Live Action president, went undercover at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Birmingham and told a counselor that she was 14-years-old, pregnant by her 31-year-old &#8220;boyfriend,&#8221; and needed a secret abortion so her parents would not find out about her sexual relationship with the older man.</p>
<p>After telling the counselor that her &#8220;boyfriend&#8221; is 31, Rose asks, &#8220;Is it a problem about my boyfriend?&#8221; The counselor, identified as &#8220;Tanisha&#8221; in the video, responds, &#8220;As long as you consented to having sex with him, there&#8217;s nothing we can truly do about that.&#8221; Rose then says that her boyfriend &#8220;said he could get in big trouble,&#8221; and Tanisha acknowledges that &#8220;he could, especially if your parents find out that he&#8217;s 31.&#8221;  She then tells Rose that the clinic manager, OB/GYN Dr. Desiree Bates, &#8220;sometimes does bend the rules a little bit&#8221; and states that &#8220;whatever you tell us stays within these walls&#8221; and &#8220;we can&#8217;t disclose any information to anybody.&#8221;</p>
<p>Alabama Code 26-14-3 requires health professionals to disclose suspected cases of sexual abuse to state officials immediately.</p>
<p>&#8220;The law is explicit about a healthcare provider&#8217;s duty to report, yet Planned Parenthood pretends they cannot say anything,&#8221; Rose notes of the investigation. &#8220;Planned Parenthood increases its business and influence by circumventing state reporting laws, but inflicts terrible harm upon the vulnerable young girls sent back to statutory rapists.&#8221;</p>
<p>In the video, Tanisha also seems to tell Rose that a signature from an &#8220;older sister that&#8217;s over the age of 18&#8243; or someone &#8220;with the same last name&#8221; could function as a substitute for parental consent so Planned Parenthood could perform an abortion on a minor. Alabama Code 26-21-3 specifies that the written permission of either a parent or legal guardian is necessary before a minor may obtain an abortion.</p>
<p>The new video is sixth in Live Action&#8217;s &#8220;Mona Lisa Project,&#8221; a nationwide undercover investigation that documents Planned Parenthood&#8217;s repeated noncompliance with state mandatory reporting laws for sexual abuse of minors. Alabama is the fourth state to be implicated in the controversy, along with Arizona, Indiana, and Tennessee. Recently, the investigation of a clinic in Memphis, TN assisted state legislators in their effort to successfully divert nearly $1 million in taxpayer subsidies from Planned Parenthood to law-abiding local health clinics.</p>
<p>&#8220;When to &#8216;bend the rules a little&#8217; means hiding a case of statutory rape from Child Protective Services and looking for ways around the parental consent requirement, Planned Parenthood becomes directly responsible for ensuring that statutory rapists can continue their abuse of young girls,&#8221; Rose says.</p></blockquote>
<p>This is yet another incident in yet another Planned Parenthood where the abuse of a minor child by an adult is not being reported.  What I would really love to know is just how many young girls are exploited by older men and go to Planned Parenthood, without having their abuses reported to the police as the law requires.  Yes, Lila Rose and Jackie Stollar are just pretending.  But how many girls walk into a Planned Parenthood clinic that have found themselves in a similar situation to the one that Lila Rose describes, and their abuse never sees the light of day?  Is the money made from performing abortions really so lucrative that it is worth covering up the abuse of a young girl?  </p>
<p>This is a nationwide issue.  There&#8217;s no getting around that anymore.  This has happened in multiple Planned Parenthood clinics in cities across the country, again and again and again.  And Planned Parenthood is a taxpayer funded organization. Unfortunately, with our abortion-loving president, it&#8217;s unlikely that any federal investigation will take place.  All the same, each state that has seen videos from Lila Rose&#8217;s Mona Lisa Project target Planned Parenthood&#8217;s in their state should be undergoing investigations.  This kind of criminal activity should not be allowed to continue.</p>
<p>For you pro-abortion people out there: is &#8220;the right to choose&#8221; really so important that you&#8217;ll defend an organization that has been caught repeatedly covering up the sexual abuse of children?  </p>
