The footage was taken by Live Action President Lila Rose and actor Jackie Stollar who posed undercover as minors with Rose telling the staff that she was 14-years-old and impregnated by her 31-year-old &#8220;boyfriend.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In the video, the EMW counselor named &#8220;Wendy&#8221; determines that Rose is \u201c14 to 15-weeks pregnant,\u201d and Rose expresses that she wants to keep the situation secret from her parents. Though Rose gave no indication that she would face abusive parents, the clinic directs Rose to call Louisville attorney Mickey Adams so that she can obtain a judicial bypass around Kentucky&#8217;s parental consent law and avoid parental knowledge of the abortion or sexually abusive relationship.<\/p>\n<p>In the state of Kentucky, sex between a 14-year-old and a 31-year-old is rape in the third degree and would reasonably be considered sexual abuse of a child which must be reported to law enforcement immediately. The clinic failed to ask the questions necessary to file a child sexual abuse report and did not communicate to Rose about the illegal or dangerous nature of her sexual relationship.<\/p>\n<p>Rose, a UCLA student, says this sort of disregard for the law is typical at abortion centers. &#8220;In abortion clinics across the country, our undercover videos document the widespread cover-up of sexual abuse. Abortion clinics like EMW in Louisville attempt to fast-track underage abortions on vulnerable girls, shut out parents, and blatantly ignore their legal obligation to report the sex predator to police.&#8221; says Rose.<\/p>\n<p>Live Action has previously released videos of statutory rape cover-up at Planned Parenthood abortion clinics in <a href=\"..\/..\/index.php\/projects\/monalisa\/63\" target=\"_blank\">Bloomington, IN<\/a>, <a href=\"..\/..\/index.php\/projects\/monalisa\/62\" target=\"_blank\">Indianapolis, IN<\/a>, <a href=\"..\/..\/index.php\/projects\/monalisa\/66\" target=\"_blank\">Memphis, TN<\/a>, <a href=\"..\/..\/index.php\/projects\/monalisa\/67\" target=\"_blank\">Birmingham, AL<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=YtyJ_7ZFgEw\" target=\"_blank\">Los Angeles, CA<\/a>, <a href=\"..\/..\/index.php\/projects\/monalisa\/65\" target=\"_blank\">Tucson, AZ<\/a>, <a href=\"..\/..\/index.php\/projects\/monalisa\/64\" target=\"_blank\">Phoenix, AZ<\/a>, and <a href=\"..\/..\/index.php\/projects\/monalisa\/121\" target=\"_blank\">Milwaukee, WI<\/a>.
