This morning we and many others posted an undercover video captured in a New Jersey Planned Parenthood clinic. In that video, a Planned Parenthood employee is seen advising a fake pimp on how to manage his underage sex slaves. The employee’s actions hint, to me at any rate, that such advice comes as a matter of routine from that Planned Parenthood office. That begs the question of just what does Planned Parenthood train its staff to do and say in such situations? What does their ethics training teach them? Do they even have any sort of ethics training regime in place at all?
At any rate, they have responded to the release of the video, stating the blinding obvious.
Phyllis Kinsler, chief executive officer of Planned Parenthood of Central New Jersey, added that the clinic employee’s behavior, as portrayed on the video, “violates PPCNJ policies, as well as our core values of protecting the welfare of minors and complying with the law, and appropriate action is being taken.”
What “appropriate action” is being taken? Tax payers who foot much of Planned Parenthood’s annual budget have a right to know exactly what action is being taken, when, and by whom. The employee’s actions appear to be criminal in nature. Her behavior also suggests that a full scale investigation of Planned Parenthood is in order, and its $300 million in taxpayer funds should be re-examined. Today’s video is not the first time Planned Parenthood staff have been captured on tape engaging in what appears to be criminal, and obviously unethical, behavior, and the cases have not been limited to one state. Planned Parenthood cannot be allowed to get away with conducting a mere internal investigation and sweeping things under the rug.
What really astounds is that anyone thinks that a group dedicated to murdering innocent people can come within a country mile of ethics – its like having a chaste whore or an honest con man; it just can’t be done.
PP is precisely what it is – an evil organization doing bad things, on purpose.
PP provides services for minorities and low income people. This one employee does NOT constitute the entire PP organizations’ mindset. The biggest offender of children are Catholic Priests – where’s the outrage against the Catholic Church and the Christians who support them? There is documented proof of Church members committing crimes against minors. What are you all doing to stop the abuse?! Stop focusing on PP – an organization that overall helps people with reproductive health and focus at the source of sex abuse.
Allie- In answer to your questions – where’s the outrage about pedophile priests and what’s being done about them? First, there is massive outrage within and outside of the church. I am Catholic and I can tell you that Catholics are sickened by this and have demanded reforms and safeguards be put in place. Those demands have shaken the church all the way to the Pope. Second, many priests have been and continue to be defrocked and/or sent to prison where they belong. The Catholic church has paid out millions in damages and is spending millions to provide counseling and victim support, as it should.
On the other hand, your beloved PP’s response to numerous examples of what is clearly their “business as usual” attitude towards exploiting children? Other than lip service about “core values,” it has been zip, zero, nada. The Church may have lived in denial about its problems, but it is obvious that PP fully accepts the criminal attitude portrayed in this video – this is NOT just one employee, there are many DOCUMENTED examples. So where is the outrage on the left? Perhaps they are too busy celebrating another child molester, Roman Polanski, to be bothered-
Nice try at the typical leftist moral equivlency argument, but it falls flat. Thanks for playing, though….
Let’s see, where were those budget cuts suppose to take place? I know one place that can use the budget cut completely.
Isnt Mike Pence proposing a bill defunding PP?
“violates PPCNJ policies, as well as our core values”
Well, they would say that, but there have been a number of earlier reports of PP offices with a policy of covering up sexual abuse as something essentially okay.
So many liberal organizations have official policies that are radically different from their actual policies.
And PPs policies are what, precisely? May we see copies of them?
Go to the pro-life website for more on this subject. Click on their Project and go the the Racial project where these young investigators have taped phone conversations of several Planned Parenthood offices in various states agreeing to accept donations based on their promise to use the money for abortions of black babies! A warning, this website is red hot right with traffic right now so it is slow and experiencing difficulties. Check back, if necessary, these young people are doing a tremendous job!

If PP had any character, and if the actions were truly in violation of their values, they would demand the resignations of everyone in authority, and fire them otherwise.
They wont because their real values were not violated.
And Allie…come into the real world. To think this is a single violation by a rogue employee is the height of naivety.
