Planned parenthood AGAIN breaks the law and they have the gall to sue the people who report them doing so.
There was a time when being caught breaking the law would have put a business out of business....but not PP with all their liberal supporters. tsk tsk tsk

Planned Parenthood Threatens to Sue Undercover Activist
Abortion Provider Caught Encouraging Minor to Lie About Age
Planned Parenthood Threatens to Sue Undercover Activist

May 15, 2007
(CNSNews.com) - Planned Parenthood of Los Angeles is threatening to sue a student pro-life activist who recorded an abortion clinic employee encouraging her to lie about her age to avoid being reported as a victim of statutory rape.
Lila Rose, an 18-year-old sophomore at the University of California Los Angeles, is the founder of a pro-life magazine on campus. In March, she entered a Planned Parenthood of Los Angeles (PPLA) clinic, posing as a pregnant 15-year-old and said her boyfriend was 23 years old.
A girl in that position would be considered a victim of statutory rape because she was under 16, and California law requires clinics such as Planned Parenthood to report cases of statutory rape. In hidden camera video of the encounter, a PPLA employee tells Rose that she could "figure out a birth date that works" to avoid having PPLA notify police.
As Cybercast News Service previously reported, Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California President Kathy Kneer criticized the undercover investigation as "manipulative," but admitted that the PPLA employee had violated the organization's policy to follow all applicable laws.
Following news of the undercover operation, Kneer said the organization had reminded all of its employees of the law and its own policies.
On Monday, PPLA sent a cease-and-desist letter to Rose, warning her that "surreptitious" recordings of PPLA employees without consent violates California privacy laws.
California law prohibits recording "intentionally and without the consent of all parties to a confidential communication." Violating the prohibition could mean a $2,500 fine, plus civil penalties of $5,000 or more.
In the letter, obtained by Cybercast News Service, PPLA president Mary Jane Wagle demands that Rose stop the undercover investigations, remove existing clips from online video sharing site YouTube, and turn the original tapes and all copies over to Planned Parenthood.
"If you do not agree to take these three steps, PPLA will seek all appropriate legal remedies," Wagle wrote.
Cybercast News Service obtained a copy of the video and audio before the cease-and-desist letter went into effect and has preserved it for our readers' benefit. (Click here for the full video -- a large file that may take time to load. As produced by Rose, the video features clips of a song by rapper Ludacris and singer Mary J. Blige called "Runaway."
David French, an attorney with the Christian legal group Alliance Defense Fund, accused Planned Parenthood of "engaging in a campaign...to bully an 18-year-old to distract attention from the fact that their employees were engaging in unlawful behavior."
French, who is serving as Rose's legal adviser, said, "Nothing changes the truth of what's contained in those videotapes. Planned Parenthood was advocating that a patient lie, advocating a way around mandatory reporting requirements for statutory rape, and nothing that Planned Parenthood does as far as trying to bully her regarding the tapes themselves can change those facts."
Regardless of Planned Parenthood's activity in the clinic, French said his client hopes to avoid the court. "She's going to comply with the bulk of their demands on it regarding the videotapes themselves, so I would hope that Planned Parenthood would not pursue any further action against her," he said.
Kneer told Cybercast News Service Monday that the cease-and-desist letter was meant "to protect the privacy of our patients and our employees and maintaining and complying with California laws, all of the laws, is important to us, and we think Lila needs to be more respectful of California laws."
She reiterated that Planned Parenthood has reminded its employees of California law regarding mandatory reporting of statutory rape and said that Lila's case is rare.
"We essentially believe that in 99.9 percent of the time, our employees do follow the laws," Kneer said, adding that "attacks" from "anti-choice extremists" have led to national audits of abortion providers.
"A thorough audit was done across the country and essentially came to the conclusion that providers are complying with state laws and there are no violations," Kneer said.
She said she couldn't comment on what happened to the employee in Rose's tape, but she did say that a clinician who breaks the law is "subject to losing their license. That's a personal issue for each employee, and as the employer, we want to make sure our clinicians know how to comply with the law and at the same time, make sure that patients can trust us."
"Nothing we can say will most likely change Lila's views," Kneer said, "but I can tell you every day the American public trusts Planned Parenthood and that's because one in four individuals has been to a Planned Parenthood in their lifetime and they know the quality of healthcare we provide to our patients."
'Hundreds' caught on tape
In 2002, an activist group called Life Dynamics ran a campaign in which a woman posing as a 13-year old impregnated by a 22-year-old and called clinics operated by Planned Parenthood and the National Abortion Federation. The group has compiled tapes of workers encouraging girls to lie about their age to avoid being reported as a victim.
The group claims to have collected "over 800 tape recordings that show how Planned Parenthood and NAF workers secure business from victims of statutory rape by undermining parental authority, encouraging children to lie and promising minors that their employees will ignore mandatory reporting laws."
"[T]ell them your boyfriend is 16 or something because he could get in a lot of trouble," one employee in Alaska told the caller. A worker in North Carolina told the caller, "I wouldn't advise you to say anything about your boyfriend being 22, because that's statutory rape."
Life Dynamics founder Mark Crutcher told Cybercast News Service Monday that telling girls to lie about their age is standard practice for abortion clinics because "there's lots of money in this."
He said the fact that Planned Parenthood threatened to sue Rose is a sign that the organization is interested in continuing the practice rather than reforming. "If they were interested in using this as the opportunity to educate their people then that would be their thrust and how the girl got the tapes would be somewhat irrelevant," he said.
Crutcher said his organization has never heard a response from Planned Parenthood or the National Abortion Federation. It has never faced legal challenges, he said, because the calls were placed from Texas, which requires only that one participant in the conversation consent to having it taped.
================================
A $2500. fine is nothing more than a slap on the hand to a MULTI-MILLION dollar business like Planned Parenthood. They survive as a business by murdering babies and this is not the first time we've seen they're MORE than willing to break whatever LAWS they want to.

Actually Linda, they didn't. Lila broke the law when she FALSELY said she was only 15. With the fact she is really 18, Planned Parenthood broke no laws. That is why they are not being charged with anything.
California law prohibits recording "intentionally and without the consent of all parties to a confidential communication." Violating the prohibition could mean a $2,500 fine, plus civil penalties of $5,000 or more.
This is the law Lila broke. It's that simple.
"We essentially believe that in 99.9 percent of the time, our employees do follow the laws," Kneer said, adding that "attacks" from "anti-choice extremists" have led to national audits of abortion providers.
Having friends that work or have worked for PP, I do know this to be true.
One thing to add on a personal note, the anti-choice extremists do not have the reality down when it comes to PP. Abortion is less then 1% of the services that they provide. Fact is, most of the services that they do provide has to do with health and care of the mother and child.
I have found that the anti-choice crowd to be more violent and distructive than what they claim of PP.

by Steven Ertelt
LifeNews.com Editor
May 6, 2007
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- A preview of the latest annual report from the Planned Parenthood Federation of America shows thatthe nation's largest abortion business is doing more abortions than ever before .
The report indicates PPFA affiliates across the country did 264,943 abortions in 2005 alone, increase of 3.9 percent over 2004.
The abortion business also said it sold 1,245,506 "emergency" birth control kits in 2005, which is an increase of 26.6 percent more than in 2004 and every Planned Parenthood sells birth control as well.
Douglas Scott, the head of Life Decisions International,a group that monitors corporations that donate to Planned Parenthood , said he found it hypocritical that the abortion business claims birth control and the Plan B drug reduces the number of abortions while doing more abortions than at any point in its history.
"Planned Parenthood claims to prevent the 'need' for abortion while simultaneously working to increase its share of the lucrative abortion market," he told LifeNews.com in a statement.
PPFA is expected to release its 2005-2006 Annual Report within the next few months.
" One can be sure that in addition to killing more human beings that ever before, Planned Parenthood will have taken in more money than ever before ," Scott said.
He pointed out that the nonprofit's incoming is rapidly approaching the $1 billion mark and that it generated an estimated $100 million from doing abortions in 2005.
"One can also be sure that Planned Parenthood will end up with tens of millions of dollars in 'excess revenue over expenses,' which is known to most people as 'profit,'" Scott added.
Since 1970, when Planned Parenthood began doing some of the first legal abortions in the nation, PPFA reports having done 4,068,749 abortions.
That's a scary number of unborn children killed via abortion and women hurt by the damaging physical, spiritual and mental health problems it causes, Jim Sedlak of STOPP International, told LifeNews.com.
"Although it took Planned Parenthood 35 years to kill its first four million babies in the United States, at its current rate of doing abortion, it could kill another four million in less than 15 years," he said.
He said Planned Parenthood can continue the high rate of abortions "because elected officials and private citizens allow it to exist" and that it was time to close it for good.
Planned Parenthood, which tries to legitimatize its image by doing legitimate reproductive health care, also gave breast exams to 844,201 women -- ironic because abortion is linked to breast cancer.
Still, that was 82,562 fewer breast cancer screenings than the previous year.
Other statistics show that Planned Parenthood indicated there were 5,062 fewer instances of prenatal care and 32,925 fewer pregnancy tests.
"Planned Parenthood is in the death business and nobody does it better," Scott concluded. "Unfortunately for preborn children, abortion seems to be the only part of Planned Parenthood's business that can be called 'provably successful.'"

Planned Parenthood: Letting It Lie?
Since our report yesterday about Planned Parenthood's alleged wrongdoing, the organization is using intimidation to silence critics .
In Los Angeles, where a UCLA sophomore--posing as a 15-year-old--secretly videotaped a clinic worker urging her to lie about her age to obtain an abortion, Planned Parenthood has already threatened legal action. On Monday, the local affiliates sent a "cease-and-desist" letter to the student, Lila Rose, warning her that "surreptitious recordings of employees without consent violate California's privacy laws."
It seems ironic that Planned Parenthood would be quoting the law since the organization appears to have blatantly violated it in refusing to report statutory rape. Under the California penal code, the clinic's offense carries a much stiffer penalty than that of taping a confidential communication. According to state law, "Any mandated reporter who fails to report an incident of known or reasonably suspected child abuse or neglect ... is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by up to six months confinement in a county jail or by a fine of one thousand dollars ($1,000) or by both ..."
By Planned Parenthood's own admission, any employees who violate the law are also "subject to losing their license."
The organization's top California official, Kathy Kneer, told reporters that "99.9 percent of the time our employees do follow the law." [b]That's a bold pronouncement for the group, which has been implicated in three cases this week alone, including another Ohio case that we lacked the space to detail.
In each instance, your taxpayer dollars are helping to keep these Planned Parenthood clinics humming
Yesterday, FRC dug a little deeper into Title X funding data to find that both the clinic that Rose visited in L.A. and the two Ohio clinics receive government grants. Since it's your money, we believe you should have influence how Uncle Sam spends it. Contact your congressmen and urge them to direct your dollars away from Planned Parenthood and toward organizations that put patients--not profits--first.

Classic.....I know that's probably true. It is also close to what the abortion doctors I worked with often said.
But PP breaking the laws....shouldn't be discounted, imo.
Those laws are there to protect the very young girls from statutory rape and incest....that occurs all the time.

ReligionAndSpirituality.com
May 18, 2007
A nationwide pedophile protection scandal involving facilities run by Planned Parenthood and the National Abortion Federation is emerging from a two-year undercover investigation by Life Dynamics Incorporated of Denton, Texas.
Life Dynamics said it recorded over 800 calls to facilities across America in which an actress portraying a 13-year-old girl impregnated by her adult boyfriend sought an abortion to hide the illegal sexual relationship from her parents and police.
Many clinic workers told the caller they were legally mandated to report it to the state, but91 percent of the 800 facilities agreed to illegally conceal it.
In fact, workers routinely instructed a child who they believed to be a statutory rape victim to lie about or conceal her age or the age of the man who impregnated her; engage in illegal actions to circumvent the state's parental notification law; use a fictitious name, phone number or address; hide the situation by altering what she would say when she came to the facility; and be more careful about what information she gave out and to whom.
In one recent case, a New London, Conn., man was indicted in the sexual assault of a 14-year-old girl. A police investigation later revealed that the child was taken to the Planned Parenthood clinic in Norwich for abortions three times in six months, from April-September 2006.
Life Dynamics President Mark Crutcher said, "Our investigation proved that rapists who target underage girls have no better ally than Planned Parenthood. If these people in Norwich had any sense of decency, or any concern for this child, they would have reported this situation to the authorities the first time they saw her. Of course, that would have cost them the profit from the next two abortions."
