Planned Parenthood accuses Live Action of cynicism!

Yesterday Walt gave you the link to a video posted on YouTube by Live Action -- a leading pro-life group -- in which we saw the director of a New Jersey Planned Parenthood clinic providing "expert" advice for a pimp, letting him know how best to avoid detection of his prostitution ring and his exploitation of underage girls.

You would think that Planned Parenthood might issue an apology or at least a disclaimer. Well, lots of crocodile tears have been flowing, but PP is still in deep denial about the morality of its real mission.

None more so than Stuart Schear, the vice-president of the Planned Parenthood Federation. When confronted with the video of Live Action's sting, Schear attacked the motivations of those who made the report! The Live Action team had pretended to be involved in illegal activities, he observed: "Falsely claiming sex trafficking to health professionals to advance a political agenda is an astoundingly cynical form of political activity."

In today's report of this astounding reaction, Catholic Culture asks whether Mr. Schear understands that Live Action is trying to save young girls from sexual abuse. Does he see that as nothing more than an effort to "advance a political agenda"?

And, Catholic Culture adds, if people are cynical about the work of Planned Parenthood, they're nowhere near as cynical as the people doing that work.
