MONTGOMERY, Alabama, July 7 /Christian Newswire/ — Alabama Attorney General Troy King has called a new undercover video released last week showing Planned Parenthood of Alabama apparently breaking state mandatory reporting laws for sexual abuse “extremely troubling” and requested the full recordings. The student-led nonprofit responsible for the recordings, Live Action, immediately sent the full footage, which the Attorney General’s office received yesterday.
The video shows a Planned Parenthood staffer, identified as “Tanisha,” telling a purportedly 14-year- old girl with a 31-year-old “boyfriend” that Planned Parenthood “does sometimes bend the rules a little bit” when it comes to reporting statutory rape to state authorities. Despite strong parental consent laws in Alabama, “Tanisha” also explains that a person with the “same last name” as the 14-year-old would suffice as a guardian or parent to sign off for the minor’s abortion.
