February 4, 2011 \u2013<\/strong> Following yesterday\u2019s shocking revelation of video\u00a0from a Richmond, Va. Planned Parenthood investigation, Live Action<\/a> today released undercover footage from three more\u00a0Virginia Planned Parenthood clinics \u2013 in Falls Church, Charlottesville\u00a0and Roanoke \u2013 which clearly show staff willing to aid and abet the\u00a0sexual trafficking and exploitation of minors and young women.\u00a0Following the release of video earlier this week from clinics in New\u00a0Jersey and Richmond, Va., this latest footage provides more evidence\u00a0of a clear, disturbing pattern of gross misconduct by Planned\u00a0Parenthood.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is utterly disgusting that Planned Parenthood\u2019s response to this\u00a0is that their employee reacted \u2018professionally,\u2019\u201d said Live Action\u00a0President Lila Rose. \u00a0\u201cThe only acceptable response to encountering a\u00a0self-identified sex-trafficker of underage girls is zero tolerance.<\/p>\n

The only \u2018professional\u2019 response is to immediately call law\u00a0enforcement to the scene and push for an arrest. Our investigation \u2013\u00a0and \u00a0their response \u2013 continues to show that an institutional crisis has engulfed the highest levels of Planned Parenthood. If you\u2019re a\u00a0sex-trafficker of minors or young women, you have a partner in Planned\u00a0Parenthood. But if you are a minor or a young woman, you are not safe\u00a0at Planned Parenthood clinics,\u201d Rose continued.<\/p>\n

The footage shows a man who identifies himself as a pimp working with\u00a0underage girls. He seeks assistance for getting abortions, STD testing\u00a0and birth control for girls he \u201cmanages\u201d as sex workers, who are from\u00a0out of the country and as young as 14 to 15 years old. The\u00a0investigation continues to unearth alarming evidence that Planned\u00a0Parenthood, which receives more than $350 million from the American taxpayer every year, is willing to facilitate the sexual exploitation\u00a0of minors and young women.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, we are sending Attorney General Cuccinelli and Virginia law\u00a0enforcement officials new, disturbing footage from three Virginia clinics. The footage explicitly shows Planned Parenthood staff willing\u00a0to engage in activity that sexually exploits minors and young women.\u00a0The evidence continues to mount, and shows a clear pattern where\u00a0Planned Parenthood is willing aid and abet the sex-trafficking\u00a0industry. These are abhorrent practices and it is time Planned\u00a0Parenthood be held accountable,\u201d Rose said.<\/p>\n

Findings in these Virginia videos:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Falls Church \u2013 Abortions for underage girls from other countries only require a photo ID.<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood staffer: \u201cWe don\u2019t necessarily look at the legal status, like I said. Abortion appointments do require photo ID. It\u2019s nothing as far as records. It\u2019s just photo ID that\u2019s ever going to be required.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2022 Roanoke \u2013 Birth control and STD testing for underage prostitutes is no problem<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood staffer: \u201cFrom the age of 12 up, for birth control, you can just come in and do that. You don\u2019t have to have a parent, OK?\u201d<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood staffer discussing STD testing: “And the thing is, see this is the thing a lot of people don\u2019t know that. . .Right, through the Health Department. \u00a0And so, they\u2019ll uh, they\u2019ll track it. And they\u2019re discreet. \u00a0They\u2019re confidential. \u00a0They, you know, don\u2019t tell people what\u2019s going on, because \u2013 frankly \u2013 it\u2019s nobody\u2019s business.”<\/p>\n

\u2022 Charlottesville \u2013 Birth control and testing for STDs and pregnancy for underage girls with no questions asked.<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood staffer: \u201cAnybody here can help you. Everything here is confidential. We can\u2019t give any information out.\u201d<\/p>\n
