Op-Ed: If the FLDS Is Fair Game, Planned Parenthood Should Be Next On The Hit List

If the FLDS men are guilty of all that is alleged vis-a-vis statutory rapes, then justice will take its due and legal course. I have no problem with all the FLDS fathers found guilty of multiple statutory rapes sharing a cell block with Warren Jeffs. That's justice. That's the law.

If and when they're found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. No one's been charged yet. Jury's still out. Except for the Hangman Juries, that is.

So those are the big crimes. Much older adult males taking advantage of and impregnating underage girls, then engaging in a criminal conspiracy to keep it all hidden from public view and the eyes of the law. Not just at the individual level, but at the organizational level as well.

If that is all true, doesn't any organization that conspires to cover up hundreds, perhaps thousands of statutory rapes as a matter of clearly illegal policy, deserve to be brought down too?

Then say Hi to another Bad Guy: Planned Parenthood.

Oh, not so Politically Correct on this one, are we?

First, let it be known for the record that I am not talking pro-life or pro-abortion here. I have no desire to jump into that shredding machine. I'm talking about an active and ongoing criminal conspiracy to cover up statutory rapes and underage pregnancies.

And aren't we talking about the Letter of the Law regarding said criminal conspiracies to keep multiple statutory rapes hidden from the public eye, and by extension the long arm of justice? What's good for the goose is good for the gander, justice being blind and all? A crime is a crime is a crime?

Then shouldn't Planned Parenthood be investigated for covering up countless statutory rapes resulting in underage pregnancies, which they had full knowledge of after the fact, over their storied history? Couldn't you even argue that they should be prosecuted under RICO statutes as a continuing criminal enterprise for doing so?

If not that extreme, shouldn't they at least be investigated by Congress for such widespread criminal abuses based on an overwhelming body of public evidence, and forced to reform itself from within by way of stringent and continuing government oversight given their horrific track record?

Right. Like that will ever happen. As Wayne and Garth might say, "Ya, as if."

But by law it should. Let's look at the facts. If you dare.

Let's start with the controversial case of then 18-year-old UCLA journalism student Lila Rose, a pro-life advocate who went undercover to two Planned Parenthood clinics in Los Angeles in 2005. She was accompanied by her 'boyfriend' to the clinics, claiming she was 15 and that her 23-year-old boyfriend had impregnated her.

Under California law, this constitutes an admission of statutory rape. What was the response by the Planned Parenthood clinics? Pick up the phones and call the cops and social services? LOL!

Counselors at both, including the manager of one, encouraged her to lie about her age in order to avoid the criminal sexual abuse aspect of the situation. "Just make up a date and we'll take it from there," one helpful advisor suggested.

What was the media and Planned Parenthood response to this blatant conspiracy to subvert the law? If you thought heated calls for reform, accolades and nominations for a Pulitzer Prize, think again.

At the Broadsheet over at Salon.com, it was called an 'undercover hit piece' that was the 'latest attempt by antiabortion activists to entrap Planned Parenthood workers by posing as underage girls.'

As far as I can tell the LA Times, in whose jurisdiction this story fell, has yet to report on Lila Rose's shocking story at all. No opinions one way or the other from many other MSM sources either. You can't state an opinion on a story you don't report on.

And oh yeah, Planned Parenthood's response was not to launch a comprehensive ethics investigation of all its clinics, as the Army did after a similar undercover investigation reporting recruiting abuses resulted in the shutdown and ethics review of every recruiting office in the country.

Instead, they threatened to sue Lila Rose.

Let's belay with the fact that entrapment is in many cases a valid and legal law enforcement tool (as in prostitution stings) and one widely practiced by the media as well. Or that Hoaxster Supreme Rozita Swinton is being hailed as a hero by some for doing far worse, legally and ethically speaking.

Fact is, other similar investigations by private citizens calling in to Planned Parenthood clinics have revealed even bigger horror stories of conspiracy, and worse. In a video I posted in my OpEd 'The Hypocrisies of Underage Sex,' Life Dynamics called all 906 Planned Parenthood clinics in the country in February 2002.

The caller masqueraded as a 13-year-old girl with a 22-year-old boyfriend, clearly statutory rape. 813 calls were completed. In each instance, the 13-year-old was advised to lie about her age so no sexual abuse had to be reported.

Even more disturbing, in a more recent series of undercover calls, the caller asked a number of Planned Parenthood counselors if his donation could be specifically earmarked for the targeted aborting of black babies for purely racist reasons. One responder even laughed and answered, "I know just what you mean."

If you don't believe me, just watch the embedded video. And that is only one. You can link to Part II here which, ironically, opens with a hearty endorsement of Planned Parenthood by Barack Obama.

With cases like these, is it any wonder Rev Jeremiah Wright thinks powerful rich whites are out to commit black genocide? Hell, I'm ready to join Trinity UCC on the basis of those calls alone!

By the way, I haven't heard of any actual filing of a lawsuit by Planned Parenthood against Lila Rose.

Perhaps their lawyers are too busy battling individual and class action lawsuits brought against the organization claiming violations of abortion parental notification laws, overcharging the State of California for contraceptives, or even failing to report a case of incest by a 16-year-old Ohio girl who claimed repeated sexual assaults by her own father that had been occurring since she was twelve.

Or scrambling to preserve Congressional funding after Dr. Alveda King, niece of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, called Planned Parenthood a "racist organization" with a "racist agenda" and joined with others in the black community to call on Congress to terminate all federal funding to Planned Parenthood.

Among many others.

So you want to go after the FLDS for covering up uncounted statutory rapes? Fine. I'm with that. Any person or organization covering up multiple statutory rapes should have the book thrown at them.

Then why should Planned Parenthood be immune from the same public scrutiny and criminal prosecution for far more egregious offenses than FLDS?

Oh, yeah. They're the GOOD bad guys. Got a lot of political power in Washington, too.

I expect to hear a lot more on the FLDS fathers one way or the other. What I also expect to hear is the continued deafening silence over Planned Parenthood's ongoing criminal conspiracy to subvert the law by protecting countless adult males from statutory rape charges.

The real problem here is, the FLDS is widely despised and does not have the financial and political support that Planned Parenthood enjoys.

In other words, Planned Parenthood has the best justice and influence money can buy to continue their criminal activities with legal and political impunity, not to mention a media that is intent on covering up every whiff of impropriety that comes from Planned Parenthood's direction as fast as they possibly can. There are bigger issues here than reporting the news, you know.

Alas, the FLDS does not have all that. Unfortunately for them justice, and the media, are only blind in one eye.
