Arizona Attorney General to investigate Planned Parenthood for Statutory Rape Cover-up

As a father of pre-teen girls and a Catholic, I found the video below sickening. It is bad enough that an organization takes tax payer money to fund abortions. It is unbelievable that they so blatantly break the law. If you had a 13 year old or 15 year old daughter who was raped by an adult, wouldn't you want to know if she was pregnant? That the state government is going to investigate is good news:

Arizona Attorney General to investigate Planned Parenthood for Statutory rape cover-up

Phoenix, Ariz., Mar 25, 2009 / 06:20 am (CNA).- Following the release of undercover videos showing Arizona Planned Parenthood clinics disregarding laws that mandate the reporting of sexual abuse, the Arizona Attorney General’s Office has reportedly opened an investigation into local branches of the nation’s largest abortion provider.

The videos, taken by the student non-profit group Live Action, showed clinic staffers talking to a student investigator they believed to be a pregnant 15-year-old girl. The student claimed to have become pregnant by her much older boyfriend. Sexual relations between a 15-year-old and an older adult is a felony under Arizona law, while state law also mandates reporting of sexual abuse.

Live Action films conducted investigations at two Phoenix clinics and a clinic in Tucson. Its footage was sent to County Attorneys in Pima and Maricopa counties and to the Arizona Attorney General. The office of the Pima County Attorney in a letter to Live Action said that the footage from the Tucson clinic is “under review and consideration by the Attorney General.”

Previous Live Action investigations in Indiana resulted in the Indiana Attorney General opening a full investigation into the abortion provider.
