Planned Parenthood Threatens UCLA Pro-Life Advocate on Abortion Coverup

I wrote a story yesterday about an undercover investigative story about Planned Parenthood. They are very upset about the story and now have sent Lila Rose a threatening letter that they will sue her.

Planned Parenthood [PP] was not aware that the conversations were being taped by Lila Rose. Rose has posted them on YouTube's web site. This has Mary Jane Wagle, the CEO of PP of Los Angles very upset. The letter which was sent threatening to sue her has been obtained by LifeNews.com. According to them the letter says that Wagle claims the videos were made

"through false pretenses and unlawfully" and that the conversations they contain "were surreptitiously recorded without the knowledge and consent of PPLA employees

." According to Wagle the videos violate the invasion of privacy laws by the state of California. Her demands are that Rose remove the videos from YouTube and to return the original videos to them at the PPLA and that she has no more communications with the abortion business.

"If you do not take these three steps, PPLA will seek appropriate legal remedies," Wagle wrote and threatened that failure to respond could be met with several fines at $5,000 each for violating the state law on privacy.

An attorney with the Alliance Defense Fund, David French, has told CNS News that PP is

"engaging in a campaign...to bully an 18-year-old to distract attention from the fact that their employees were engaging in unlawful behavior."

Mr. French who is providing Rose's legal service also told CNS News that

"Nothing changes the truth of what's contained in those videotapes."

"Planned Parenthood was advocating that a patient lie, advocating a way around mandatory reporting requirements for statutory rape, and nothing that Planned Parenthood does as far as trying to bully her regarding the tapes themselves can change those facts," he said.

According to French Rose will comply with PP's demands because she doesn't want to end up in court.

After releasing the videotape, Rose told LifeNews.com that "California's mandatory reporting laws for statutory rape are supposed to protect pregnant minors."
