Recently, another employee of Planned Parenthood was caught on tape encouraging a minor to lie about her age to get an abortion. When a sophomore at UCLA visited a clinic posing as a pregnant 15-year-old with a 23-year-old boyfriend, the worker replied to her concerns about being underage by saying, "You could say [you're] 16. Just figure out a birth date that works. And I don't know anything." The video was posted on YouTube, outraging the CEO of Planned Parenthood's California affiliates, Kathy Kneer.
In an interview, Kneer seemed upset not that the employee was giving illegal advice to a minor, but that she was caught. "We believe the individuals behind this are doing this not out of motivation to protect teens, but in fact to discredit Planned Parenthood." That's where Kneer is wrong. When it comes to discrediting Planned Parenthood, the organization needs no help.
