Live Action, a youth-led, pro-life organization, has released its third undercover video involving alleged medical misinformation, this time from staff at an Indianapolis Planned Parenthood facility.

The group sent an undercover pro-lifer armed with a hidden camera to pose as a 10-weeks pregnant potential candidate for an abortion.

"What we found here in this clinic in Indianapolis was pretty disturbing," comments Live Action founder Lila Rose. "Our investigative actor [is] asking basic questions about the development of her unborn child, about the risks of abortion, and she is being given fabricated information, false information in an attempt to convince her to choose abortion."

Lila RoseShe goes on to report that Indiana has an informed consent law that requires abortion facilities to provide accurate information. So in her view, the operation is violating the law. Rose also notes that Planned Parenthood annually receives $3 million in government grant money.

"So that [funding] immediately needs to stop...," she suggests. "Planned Parenthood of Indiana also needs to be investigated by state authorities for the breaking of informed consent laws, among other abuses that we've discovered at these clinics, which include the cover up of the sexual abuse of minor girls, as well as the circumvention of parental consent laws, which are meant to protect minor girls."

The Live Action founder indicates that discovering the difficulties and publicizing them is but one step. What is lacking, says Rose, is action to defund and prosecute those responsible.
