Planned Parenthood has allegedly been caught on camera showing its willingness to assist a 13-year-old minor in crossing state lines to undergo an abortion without parental knowledge or consent, a term dubbed by some as abortion trafficking. The investigation took place in Missouri, where the state law<\/a> says 13-year-olds can never consent to sex or abortions.<\/p>\n

A recently released, five-minute undercover video<\/a> (part one of a two-part investigation) by Project Veritas (PV)<\/a> shows a conversation between a woman identified as Lashauna — said to be the Managing Director of Planned Parenthood in Kansas City, Missouri — and a male PV investigator (who is off-screen). The male investigator is inquiring about obtaining an abortion for a 13-year-old girl. The full footage had not yet been released at the time of this article’s publication.<\/p>\n

The video highlights the ease with which the abortion industry partakes in potentially breaking the law and trafficking girls for abortions. Lashauna said parents are never informed of the abortions because Planned Parenthood considers a thirteen-year-old to be an “adult.” However, state law does not.<\/p>\n

Missouri law<\/a> states that those 13 years old and younger cannot consent to sex with anyone, and those ages 14, 15, and 16 years old cannot consent to sex with someone who is more than four years older. In addition, Missouri law states that no minor may consent to an abortion. Planned Parenthood is required to report the sexual abuse of this 13-year-old girl. In Kansas, where Planned Parenthood was going to send the girl for an abortion, the age of consent<\/a> is 16 and parental consent is required<\/a> for a minor to undergo an abortion.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the most dangerous revelation was the way Planned Parenthood appeared to promote the abortion trafficking of children with the help of strangers or male companions, potentially aiding child sexual abusers.<\/p>\n

Crossing state lines<\/strong><\/p>\n

The undercover footage begins with the male PV investigator explaining to the Planned Parenthood staffers that the child’s parents are unaware that she is pregnant or that she is seeking an abortion.<\/p>\n

The 13-year-old does not appear to be present at the facility with the male investigator, still, Planned Parenthood staffers seem willing to assist the man in taking her across state lines for an abortion because, as Lashauna explains it, abortion is “illegal” in Missouri.<\/p>\n

She then offers to give the male investigator “a packet of the two locations that do [abortions] in Kansas.”<\/p>\n

Call first to obtain a bypass<\/strong><\/p>\n

“If you’re trying to do it without the parents knowing, then you need to call because they need a bypass,” Planned Parenthood receptionist Priscilla Jones tells the male PV investigator. This is because Kansas requires parental consent for abortions on minors. A judicial bypass<\/a> is when a minor is permitted by a judge to have a secret abortion — a legal loophole promoted<\/a> by Planned Parenthood.<\/p>\n

“What is a bypass?” the investigator asks.<\/p>\n

“Just not letting the parents know,” Lashauna says in response.<\/p>\n

The investigator then asks, “So, I can bring her?” meaning the 13-year-old child across state lines.<\/p>\n

“Yeah,” the Planned Parenthood staffer tells him.<\/p>\n

“You just have to — when you call —\u00a0 Just tell them the situation, they’ll walk you through everything,” she adds.<\/p>\n

“So, if I can’t do it, is there a service that can get her across a state line?” the PV investigator asks.<\/p>\n

“Yeah. Yup,” Lashauna states. “…They have people that’ll come pick them up.”<\/p>\n

This is abortion trafficking.<\/p>\n
