Planned Parenthood's taxpayer-funded sex education programs continue to put underage girls and their sexual partners in danger, says Live Action founder Lila Rose.

A day after the pro-life group released its newest videos showing Planned Parenthood employees encouraging whipping and asphyxiation, Rose told LifeSiteNews that focusing on the sexual aspects of Planned Parenthood's business model is critical to stopping the abortion giant's abuse of women.

“There's never a strictly abortion focus, because abortion is interconnected, always, to other abuses,” said Rose. “And all of Live Action's investigations have demonstrated this, whether it's a cover-up of sexual abuse of minors who were forced to have abortions, or brought into birth control, or trafficking young girls, or targeting little girls in the womb through abortion for sex-selective abortions. All of these things are using sex to fulfill a eugenic reality through abortion.”

In other words, said Rose, “abortion can become a tool to propagate other abuses, and in this case, what we're seeing is Planned Parenthood promoting a dangerous and deviant sexual agenda to teens, in part to damage them and their psychological, physical, and emotional makeup, but also to create more of a market for abortion.”

“The reality is that when you hook teens on sex, and you try to encourage sexual experimentation, you're going to see more abortions on some of those same teens coming back maybe to your same clinic for an abortion.”

Rose noted that Planned Parenthood receives up to $540 million a year from federal, state, and local governments, but said it could be even more. Planned Parenthood “is notoriously good at grabbing funding streams that are difficult to track,” she said.

Planned Parenthood has also been given most of a $75 million sex education grant that could fund sex education as early as kindergarten.

Last month, when Live Action released its last video showing a Planned Parenthood employee promoting BDSM to a Live Action agent, Planned Parenthood said the relevant employee was no longer with the company. However, Rose's organization called Planned Parenthood and spoke with the employee on the same day Planned Parenthood made its statement.

According to Rose, the employee's status is “still inconclusive.” However, she says “it shows that Planned Parenthood's priority is not to protect girls, but to lie about, and cover up, the abuses and activities at their centers.”

Rose told LifeSiteNews that the intentions of the employees caught on tape are not always clear. “I think it's complex,” she said.

However, she added, the company has a “complete lack of true care for the health — mental, emotional, physical — of the patient at Planned Parenthood because primarily they focus on sexually dangerous practices like promoting promiscuity among teens as well as abortion.”

“I think that there are several things going on here,” she continued. One problem is “an abortion-first mentality, because these clinics promote abortion to their clients as the solution to their problems.” She pointed to how a clinic in Aurora, Colorado “recently had a certificate on their wall applauding them for surpassing their abortion quota.”

Additionally, the mentality at Planned Parenthood is that people are “sexual from birth. Sex between anyone at any time for any reason is something to be embraced and pursued.”

However, regardless of intentions, “you can see the lack of care for girls.”

Critics of Live Action often say the pro-life group's videos focus on outliers, not trends. Rose says those critiques are inaccurate. “I think you can look at the body of research that's already publicly available online. You can see [this evidence] through Planned Parenthood workshops.” Rose also says Planned Parenthood's websites, videos, and other materials also promote unsafe sex practices.

“So this is not just what we are documenting at the clinics. This is an institutional-wide backing of dangerous sexual practices.”
