What do you do...

... if a journalist catches you breaking the law? Why, you threaten them, of course!

Seems a student journalist at UCLA caught a Planned Parenthood worker offering to cover up for her rapist, thinking she was underage. (And not for the first time, either.)

"But... but... journalists are supposed to be on our side! I feel so betrayed! How dare you fool us like that!"

Here's the video, with subtitles (I'll watch the sound one when I get home):


What really burns my butt about this isn't abortion. Abortion is a despicable evil, but there are lots of evils in the world. What pisses me off is the way that Planned Parenthood (1) sells abortion as the preferred option, (2) makes a ton of money while pretending to be a charity, and (3) is immune to the same laws everybody else has to follow.

Health care workers are required by law to report sexual assaults, and rape of a minor certainly qualifies. But for PP to report a child rape would be to run the risk of her having less sex in the future. If they cover up instead, and encourage her to keep going at it, then they'll be able to do her next abortion, and the one after that, and so on, at several hundred dollars a pop. Hey, if you're in the wool business, you don't turn the sheep loose.

Better watch the video while you can. With $63 million in annual profits, Planned Parenthood can afford better lawyers (and maybe judges) than a college student.
