(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.
How dare you show us breaking the law! Certainly though them reminded their employees of the law won’t last very long. Several of these type operations have occurred across the country over the years and in every case they found they were willing to break the law.

If I were her, my response to Planned Barrenhood Banned Parenthood Planned Parenthood would be, “BRING IT ON, SUCKA!”
I tried to use strikethrough on my “pet names” for PP, but it didn’t work. Apologies for any confusion.
They’re obviously hoping the person caves under. Because there’s no way that Planned Parenthood actually wants to go through with a law suit. They want to avoid a day in court with all the media attention it would attract.
I agree they are trying to intimidate her. They don’t want a trial, because they can’t win and the publicity would be ruinous to them.
This girl deserves great praise for what she has done.
