Planned Parenthood 'covers up' rape

LOS ANGELES May 10 -- An undercover reporter for a student magazine at UCLA reported that the local Planned Parenthood staff tried to cover up a feigned case of statutory rape. Student reporter Lila Rose, posing as a 15 year-old, entered a Santa Monica Planned Parenthood office and announced that a 23 year-old man had impregnated her, according to the Advocate, a student magazine at UCLA.

The staff encouraged Rose to "figure out a birth-date that works," falsifying her age to avoid statutory rape charges against her boyfriend, and encouraged her to proceed with the abortion. They told Rose that if she said she was 16 or older, they wouldn't have to report the rape, Christian Newswire reported Thursday.

"California's mandatory reporting laws for statutory rape are supposed to protect pregnant minors," said Lila Rose, Editor in Chief of The Advocate. "Underage girls are being targeted by predators, and Planned Parenthood is busy covering up the evidence. How many other rapes has this one clinic covered up?"
