Planned Parenthood Fires Employee Who Helped Pro-Lifer Posed As Pimp

[Joanne98]

Planned Parenthood has fired an employee who apparently advised a man pretending to be a pimp to underage girls and illegal immigrants. The New Jersey attorney general is also investigating.

The firing stems from an undercover video released by the anti-abortion, anti-Planned Parenthood group LiveAction. LiveAction staged visits to eight Planned Parenthood clinics this month, including the Central New Jersey clinic shown in the video, during which an activist pretended to be a pimp. He told employees that he "managed girls," including 14- and 15-year-olds and illegal immigrants, and wanted to know how to get them tested for sexually transmitted diseases and potentially get abortions without alerting authorities.

In the video, a manager at the clinic appears to advise the man and a female companion on how to avoid scrutiny by having the girls lie about their age or go to another non-Planned Parenthood clinic altogether.

"We were profoundly shocked when we viewed the videotape," Phyllis Kinsler, CEO of the Central New Jersey chapter said in a statement released Tuesday, "which depicted an employee of one of our health centers behaving in a repugnant manner that is inconsistent with our standards of care and is completely unacceptable."

3. WTF was that dude thinking?

A pimp approaches you and you give him advice on how to avoid detection.

The proper response involves a baseball bat and a deep hole. At least he's fired.
