INDIANAPOLIS, IN – A Planned Parenthood employee suggested that a teenage girl watch pornographic videos of sadomasochism, use sex toys, and “work up to” the point that her boyfriend could begin “hitting” her during intercourse, in a new undercover video released Wednesday by pro-life group Live Action.

“It just depends what kind of pain you can take,” a counselor in Indianapolis told the undercover Live Action investigator.

In the video, an undercover investigator poses as a 15-year-old girl and asks a Planned Parenthood affiliate for sexual advice. Part of its new SexEd series, the six-minute-long edited video begins with a disclaimer that its content is “not suitable for children.”

At several points in the full, 17-minute video, the woman gives her recommendations for a sexual agenda the girl and her 17-year-old boyfriend might pursue, progressing from watching pain-inflicting sexual practices to inflicting pain on one another.

On March 27, the investigator visited Planned Parenthood's Midtown Health Center on Meridian Street in Indianapolis, saying her boyfriend “wanted to try some kink.”

“Anal sex might be involved in kinkiness,” an unnamed counselor, whose face is blurred out, said before listing several other activities the young teen might engage in.

“You need to read” 50 Shades of Grey, she said, a stethoscope dangling from her shoulders.

Then she encouraged the teen to look at online porn with her boyfriend. “Google what is in your head, and I'm sure people have already done it.”

She then gave the minor the name of “a free porn site that you don't get any viruses off of,” although she says if the girl clicks the site's flashing ads, she will in fact download viruses.

The Planned Parenthood employee lists numerous sex toys before spontaneously suggesting the minor couple may want to use a leather whip to beat each other in the abdomen, back, and lower extremities. Although one must be an adult to order sexual accessories, she said they could get an older friend to purchase the items from a “sex shop.”

“You might be able to order it online and not be 18,” she noted hopefully. “That's something that you could look into.”

She also discussed biting — perhaps “hard enough to…maybe [draw] some blood” — and how to hide them by being bitten in the chest.

Even the full footage – which is being made available only upon request – edited out several instances of “graphic personal content,” in which the woman apparently described her own sexual experiences with anal sex, sex toys, and pornographic websites. For a number of minutes, the woman can only be seen moving her mouth and gesturing with a pen.

“I don't want to sound bad, but I have been experienced for a very long time,” she said at the video's outset.

“These tapes are so outrageous, that they are hard to believe,” said Lila Rose, president and founder of Live Action. “So-called ‘health’ counselors promoting dangerous and violent practices to young girls, recommending porn sites, sex shops….”

She noted that Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion provider, will receive an additional $75 million in taxpayer funds from the Department of Health and Human Services to provide sex education.

“It’s a travesty that this is even happening,” Rose said. “We are calling on proper authorities to see this footage as an incentive to hold Planned Parenthood accountable for the dangerous practices this abortion corporation is promoting to our teens.”

Mike Fichter, president of Indiana Right to Life, agreed the video should bring the group heightened scrutiny from lawmakers. “This video demonstrates an appalling sexualization of our young girls,” he said. “Planned Parenthood's sexual encouragement opens up a lifetime of potential hurt for our young people, from broken relationships to sexually transmitted diseases.

“This video shows that Planned Parenthood has no place in teaching sex education in our schools,” Fichter added. “We call on educators and parents to keep Planned Parenthood from teaching sex education in our schools. Furthermore, this video provides one more reason to rescind federal funding from Planned Parenthood, and we urge our legislators to end taxpayer handouts to the nation's largest abortion provider.”

There is an associated Tweetfest today. Organizers ask people to “Tweet #sexed to @PPact to let this abortion corporation know that teaching fifteen-year-old girls how to be sexually abused is NOT good sex ed.”

Planned Parenthood's sex ed content has been exposed in the past. Michael Hichborn of the American Life League (ALL) revealed its depictions of nudity and softcore pornography in his video “Hooking Kids on Sex.”

“If a dirty old man showed this book to kids in a park, he’d be arrested,” Hichborn said. “But when Planned Parenthood shows them to kids in a classroom, it gets government money.”

A former abortion facility owner said earlier this year that the abortion industry's sex education curriculum intended to break down children's natural modesty, normalize sex before marriage, and lead to unintended pregnancies. Carol Everett told a pro-life gathering in Canada last month, “We created demand for abortion by pushing sex ed on kids.”
