Video: Planned Parenthood covers up statutory rape … again
posted at 12:50 pm on February 3, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
The Mona Lisa Project exposed two Indiana abortion clinics last year that covered up reportable felonies and illegally told underage minors to cross state lines for their abortions. At the time, Lila Rose told us that more Planned Parenthood violations would come to light from her undercover work last summer. Today, another shoe drops, but this time in Tucson, where a nurse advises what she thinks is a 15-year-old patient to keep an abusive relationship from the court:
As their press release explains, this violates Arizona law, in which sexual relations between an adult and a minor less than 16 years of age is a felony and must be reported by medical personnel. Not only does the nurse not explain this to the girl, she tells both the patient and her friend to mislead the court when applying for a judicial bypass in order to keep her parents equally in the dark about both the abortion and the abuse. That violates the Arizona statute, and also might qualify as a conspiracy to obstruct justice just on the basis of this video alone.
Nor is this the first time that Planned Parenthood has done this in Arizona:
In 2002, an Arizona judge found the abortion provider negligent for failing to report the sexual abuse of a 13-year-old girl by her 23-year-old foster brother, who brought her to a Phoenix-area clinic for an abortion in 1998. After Planned Parenthood kept silent about the abuse, the sexual relationship continued and led to a second abortion six months later.
In Indiana, the Attorney General began criminal investigations into the practices of Planned Parenthood after the Mona Lisa Project published their two films. Will Arizona follow suit? Given that AG Terry Goddard will deliver the keynote address today at a Planned Parenthood event, it seems doubtful — unless Arizonans demand it. Contact them politely and ask them whether Goddard’s appearance at a PP event is appropriate under these circumstances, and ask them to start at investigation immediately into their practices.

And that is precisely where I aim, knowing your own accuracy-of-pen.
Sadists are weaned out of all Special Forces units worldwide. Not just because they’re generally undesirable, but mainly because sadists are inherent cowards.
Pretty much liberals, when you get down to it. For example, rather than start a Gay Scouts thing, homosexuals want courts to make the Boy Scouts take them in — “Daddy! He’s hitting me!”
Liberals never got past fifth grade, emotionally-speaking. We see it all the time with the trolls here and, worse, among the politicians.
There is something very seriously wrong with liberals.

Yep. The proggies might manage warmth in the Winter, but in the Summer they will find ‘cool’ is kind of hard to improvise.

we just get more and more like North Korea everyday. How wonderful.

Oh, hell yes. Read that enviroturd’s remark about replacing coal with ‘renewables and conservation’.
And it’s only because the US is still just a little bit ungovernable, that there’s enough friction between federal and state and private interests to let some actual good things happen around the edges, that we’re in danger of being energy self-sufficient.
The watermelons got control over the UK back in the Blair days, and between what their own government did and what authority they ceded to the EU they’re kinda hosed right now.

Emphasis mine. For your statement to be correct, the amount spent would have had to have been $2.8 Trillion, not $2.8 Billion (which barely covers a day’s worth of deficits nowadays, I believe). I think that you simply misread the amount.

Awww, the lil fella was just trying to put you at ease and help assuage your guilt…which you must have felt for being so greedy and environmentally unaware.

My leftist friends all want coal to die. They excoriate Margaret Thatcher for “what she did to the coal miners,” but putting them all out of work here is fine.
You know what I want? I want them all to freeze in the dark. Barring that, I want them to get stuck in elevators during brownouts. Barring that, I want their latte money to go for trying to pay for electricity.
When the old and poor start dying, THAT will be okay with them because it’s for the (idiotic) cause.

In 2011, coal was the fuel for about 42% of the 4 trillion killowatthours of electricity generated in the United States
Wow, that will really screw us over.

Well, he did bring beer along – but only the crappy IPAs he liked best – never anything the rest of us liked.
That made me feel soooo much better….

When things start collapsing, resources by definition will be less than needed to keep everyone alive. That is just reality. Those who have prepared as best they could are going to have to make some choices. You are not going to be able to support those who are truly “useless eaters”. Leftists always assume that they are going to be the ones making the choice of who lives and who dies. In the last ditch, it is going to have to be those who prepared who make those choices.
Under no circumstances should Leftists, including those who voted for Obama or other Democrats, be sheltered, fed, or supported. Even if they are family. Someone who comes begging for help in a car with the Obama logo on it need to be seen off with deadly force. If the State comes to take your surplus, they need to be resisted, and the surplus destroyed rather than allowed to fall into their hands. If they are trying to ship it to a Blue area, the means of transport needs to be sabotaged, and the surplus either liberated or destroyed.
There is one advantage. Even in Blue states, most of the enemies of the Constitution live in urban areas. Cities, in the absence of utilities and a constant supply of food [most cities have a 3 day supply in stores and warehouses] will become deathtraps; and Leftists acting like the spoiled children that they are, will riot and kill their own.
If you rescue the Left, they will repay you if they survive by killing you and yours.
When things fall apart, giving quarter is suicide.

I am more than willing to stand guard, secure the perimeter, and ensure that nothing goes in and nothing comes out. It is my duty.

This is an ignorant article. Utilities in the US are doing cartwheels they are so happy they can stop using coal. Natural gas is cheaper, more clean, and more flexible than coal. The natural gas revolution is killing coal. Cheaper energy and cleaner air…thank you natural gas!

Keep the looney posts coming gents. Your crazed right-wing ideas are a great sort of amusement. You must really enjoy clinging to your guns at night. Maybe you should express your feelings to a licensed therapist. Remember… happy thoughts, happy thoughts.

You poor sodomite with your tertiary stage syphilitic brain. It really is a shame.
