A pro-life student posing as a 15-year-old saying she was pregnant was advised by a UCLA counselor at a student health center to get an abortion.
Planned Parenthood advised her to cover up what was statutory rape.
Lila Rose was working on a story for a student-run newspaper. She was posing as a 15 year-old for an investigative story on Planned Parenthood.
She went to a Planned Parenthood facility in Santa Monica California. She said she was 15 and had gotten pregnant by a 23 year old man. She was assured by the staff if she said she was 16 or older they would not have to report the rape. The staff encouraged her to figure out a birth date that would make her over 16 and she could get the abortion. The man would not get in trouble with the police then she was told.
"California's mandatory reporting laws for statutory rape are supposed to protect pregnant minors," Rose told LifeNews.com in a statement Thursday.
"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?" she asked.
Rose said the only counseling she received was to encourage her to get an abortion.
Ann Brooks, a nurse practitioner and counselor at the UCLA Health Center advised Rose to use Medi-Cal to pay for her abortion using taxpayer's money
"I have a place I can send you where they will get you signed up for Medi-Cal coverage and they just don't ask," the counselor reportedly said.
Brooks was allegedly told there would be a lack of support for pregnant women plus she would suffer the discomforts of the pregnancy
"Most of the students I talk to terminate their pregnancies," Brooks said, describing the unborn child as "a collection of cells."
She was also told she would suffer being embarrassed because she was a pregnant student living in a student dorm.
Brooks said "UCLA doesn't support people who are pregnant and make things easier for them necessarily."
In comments to LifeNews.com on Thursday, Rose said UCLA has use articles in the Daily Bruin, the official campus newspaper, "as a front to defend its image as an unbiased, plentiful pregnancy care resource."
Rose said the opinions given are politically charged opinions and being told that an abortion at UCLA is the most feasible option and that there aren't many choices for women. She said the administration is choosing for them and letting them know their only choice is to abort the pregnancy.
The student said Brooks also advised her to use Medi-Cal to fund her abortion with taxpayer funds.
"I have a place I can send you where they will get you signed up for Medi-Cal coverage and they just don't ask," the counselor reportedly said.
Brooks allegedly said Rose should have an abortion because of a lack of support for pregnancies on campus and the discomforts of pregnancy.
