Investigative

Austin, Texas Planned Parenthood worker fired after Live Action investigation

Just hours ago, Live Action released a new investigation video that proved Planned Parenthood’s eagerness to participate in sex-selective abortions that specifically target unborn baby girls.

Weeks before details of the investigation were made public, Planned Parenthood admitted it was “worried” that it had been stung by Live Action again. Its worries were confirmed this morning.

Planned Parenthood fired a staff member in Austin, Texas who was caught on video assisting a woman in obtaining an abortion in the event that her unborn child was a baby girl. Planned Parenthood has yet to explain exactly what this staffer did wrong.

With regards to obtaining an ultrasound to determine the gender of her unborn baby, the woman asks Planned Parenthood, “Do you think I should go and just ask for an ultrasound and just not tell [the doctor] that I’m gonna terminate if it’s a girl, or…I just feel like there’s been some judgment for my…”

“To be honest with you, um, I would probably think so,” the Planned Parenthood staffer suggests.

“But do you think I still just shouldn’t worry about telling them that I would be terminating if it’s a girl?” the pregnant patient repeats later.

“Right,” Planned Parenthood says. “I would.”

Further, Planned Parenthood encourages the woman to engage in Medicaid fraud to obtain an ultrasound so she can get a late-term abortion if her baby is a girl. The staffer explains:

I have actually applied for Medicaid.  Got on Medicaid as if I was going to continue my pregnancy, went through the OB/GYN, and then me and my husband decided we were gonna go ahead and terminate.  We terminated, and I still stayed on Medcaid and just got on birth control.

The pregnant woman inquires as to whether she should follow in the same steps as the Planned Parenthood staffer to abuse Medicaid to ultimately obtain a sex-selective abortion: “If we did that, we could probably get pregnant again soon after?” she asks.

“From experience,” the Planned Parenthood staffer explains, “there’s nothing wrong with getting pregnant again immediately afterwards.”

Planned Parenthood subsequently fired this staff member, stating:

Within three days of this patient interaction, the staff member’s employment was ended and all staff members at this affiliate were immediately scheduled for retraining in managing unusual patient encounters. Today opponents of Planned Parenthood are promoting an edited video of that hoax patient encounter.

This is Planned Parenthood’s standard protocol to responding to Live Action investigations: claim the videos are a hoax, fire an employee, then re-train your staff.

This undercover video exposing Planned Parenthood’s involvement in gendercide via sex-selective abortions is one of several to be released in the upcoming weeks.

    And the right-wing smear campaign against PP continues unabated …

    • Lara Martinez

       You mean Planned Parenthood doing sex-selection late-term abortions via Medicare fraud?  The Left smears itself, Charlie.

    • LoveTheLeast8

      Doesn’t something have to be false to be a smear? lol

    • Meaux77

      Right wing, left wing is irrelevant in this case. What is relevant is that PP got caught with their pants down. The video clearly exposed that.

      This organization needs to be outlawed and its officers thrown in jail.

    We need more and more videos like this to awaken the public to the horrific evil Planned Parenthood is perpetrating.

      This wasn’t Planned Parenthood.  This was one, untrained, dishonest individual. I’m not for abortion but I am for honesty when discussing it. From both sides.

    “Planned Parenthood subsequently fired this staff member, stating: Within three days of this patient interaction, the staff member’s employment was ended …”

    LA’s video is stamped April 11, 2012. So this counselor was let go mid-April at the latest. Yet, your headline tries to give all the credit to your video roll-out that just happened today. What’s the rationale behind that?

    • MotherSetonsDaughter

      Please read the headline again, it says the worker was fired after the investigation, not after the release of the video.  What I find interesting is the language used by PP to explain the firing, “Within three days of this patient interaction, the staff member’s employment was ended and all staff members at this affiliate were immediately scheduled for retraining in managing unusual patient encounters.”  Unusual patient encounters, i.e.  encounters with someone that will come back to bite them in the butt!  “Planned Parenthood admitted it was “worried” that it had been stung by Live Action again.”  I think they should “worry” more about doing the right thing, and doing the right thing all the time!  You don’t have to “worry” about being “stung” if you are doing nothing wrong! 

      • Lwall5

        That’s not necessarily true.  P.P. doesn’t have control over everything that comes out of every employee’s mouth. You can train people to do the right thing and say the right thing but that doesn’t mean that they will always represent you in the way that reflects positively on your organization.  Truthfully, I don’t know what the P.P. policy is on gender selection via abortion. I wish someone would ask them that.

        Did you know the actual unedited video is over 30min long?  Why do you think Lisa decided to exclude the other 23min…let me give you one guess??

          Did you also know that Live Action released the full unedited version, too? Why do you think that is?

    Live Action, keep up the good work.

  • crankycatholic

    I’m confused.

    Planned Parenthood says she was fired three days after the video was recorded. The headline says she was fired after the video was released. Which is true?

        Oh, leave me alone, MSD. LiveAction changed the headline.

        • Oedipa

           Yeah, they removed the word “release”.

    Your article states: “This is Planned Parenthood’s standard protocol to responding to Live Action investigations: claim the videos are a hoax, fire an employee, then re-train your staff.”

    I can not see where you got the assumption that the article you had quoted saying the VIDEOS are a  hoax. It quite clearly says “hoax patient encounter”. The word hoax is an adjective, describing the girl who deceptively posed as a patient, and who falsely wanted a sex-selective abortion.                       HOAX: something intended to deceive or defraud. 

    Also, the timing of that counselor’s firing seems to be suspect, as Oedipa eloquently states. 

    • Le Fay

      She means that Planned Parenthood says the videos are not legitamite, genuine undercover videos. That Live Action just pretended that they were at a clinic. Which is untrue.

      • Oedipa

        I used to ask the following all the time whilst the sex-trafficking videos were rolled out. But since those were staging alleged crimes and this set of videos does not, I’ll substitute “crime” with “problem” …

        How do you report a problem that’s not a real problem, but just a problem in an actor’s script?

          The same way police bust child predators who were chatting online with a 12-year-old that was really a forty-something cop?
