Planned Parenthood Clinics And the Potential Undercover Subersive Actions They Face

Although the Republicans are quick to point out that there is no real War on Women in the United States, it certainly looks quite different from the women that are the prime targets for every female bashing law that is written and passed in many different states. At the center of the debate is not only birth control but other health care decisions that are meant to be private.

Planned Parenthood is one of the organizations that bears the brunt of the negative backlash alternately being called an abortion mill as well as being accused of part of the human trafficking ring, worldwide that sees young girls, some runaways and some kidnapped victims forced into the sex trade. Now, that organization is reporting that strange and eerily similar "visits" from women have them on the look out for yet another sting operation. Chloe Cooney, the spokesperson for Planned Parenthood reports that clinics in nearly a dozen states have had fraudulent visits that are so similar that they would almost have to have been scripted. In them, a woman comes in pretending to be pregnant and then asks very pointed questions almost immediately. Those questions focus on testing for the gender of the baby as well as scheduling a gender selective abortion immediately afterward. Cooney said that the pacing of the questions as well as the demeanor of the women are tip offs that they are a plot. Planned Parenthood is not sure who is behind these visits but suspects the group, Live Action.

Live Action, described as a youth oriented movement, has paid professional actors and others to go into Planned Parenthood and other clinics in hopes of catching them in something illegal. Live Action edited and pieced together footage gained from several different clinics and meetings to make it appear as if Planned Parenthood was part of the human trafficking ring. That tape was proven to be the work of major and heavy handed edits but is often used in Republican campaign stops to incite the pro-life groups even further. A spokesperson for the group had no comment when asked about these most recent allegations.

Funding for Planned Parenthood has continued to be a major issue in many states. Texas Governor Rick Perry has put the health care of thousands of poor women in his state at risk because he did not want to accept funds if he could not keep any of them from reaching Planned Parenthood. Other states, including Ohio are also working on defunding the health resource as well.
