Live Action's Lila Rose continues to misrepresent data in a desperate attempt to smear Planned Parenthood as a “friend” to sex traffickers.
Her latest “evidence” is an audio file of a short conversation that Live Action claims is between a woman who describes herself as a “sex worker” and a Planned Parenthood employee in Washington, D.C.
In a statement accompanying the release, Rose claims:
An institutional crisis has consumed Planned Parenthood at the highest levels. The reason their story has changed five times in reaction to our investigation is because they know they're guilty.
Sex trafficking in the U.S. has increased dramatically in recent years, and the pattern revealed by our investigation shows sex traffickers have no better friend than Planned Parenthood. Untold damage has already been done to countless girls and young women, whose safety and health are clearly at risk because organizations like Planned Parenthood provide confidentiality and safe haven for sex traffickers.
Yet again, she has utterly failed to show anything close to an “institutional crisis” in which Planned Parenthood is a “friend” to sex traffickers.
What this audio -- like all of the videos before it -- can't provide is anything to contradict the fact that Planned Parenthood contacted law enforcement and asked them to investigate potential sex trafficking before Lila Rose released any of her videos. Rose herself has even acknowledged this.
Rose's latest offering is just another embarrassment. Unfortunately, the hoax is coming to D.C. in more ways than one.
