An undercover video showing a Planned Parenthood facility giving instruction in dangerous sɛҳuąƖ practices to an apparently underage girl shows that the abortion provider should not be receiving taxpayer funds, a critic has said.

A Live Action investigator posing as a fifteen-year-old girl recorded a counselor at a Planned Parenthood in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area who advised her about violent sɛҳuąƖ practices.

The counselor told the investigator that “anything within the sɛҳuąƖ world is normal as long as it’s consensual,” adding that if a sex partner wants to engage in practices that are “gonna cause you harm or pain, and you’re okay with that,” it is “completely different” than if that partner wants “to try something that you’re not okay with.”

Lila Rose, president of Live Action, told CNA / EWTN News Aug. 13 that “every parent and educator would agree that we should not be telling little girls to whip, or to be whipped or to practice asphyxiation, chaining or choking during sex.”

“The message to our teens should not be ‘go and experiment sɛҳuąƖly’,” she said. “The message to our teens should be that sex is something that is very important in how you approach it and it’s not something to … experiment with, be promiscuous with.”

“It has consequences and risks, outside of a faithful, lifelong, and ultimately emotionally intimate relationship.”

The video shows the Planned Parenthood counselor invoked a popular pornographic book series and talked about practices “that border on – um, I wouldn’t say ‘abuse,’ because it’s consensual, but definitely extreme.”

However, the counselor did not advise against the practices.

“If it’s consensual, again, completely normal,” the counselor said, talking about patients coming in with rope burns or markings on private areas due to the use of devices.

Rose said it is “extremely problematic” to counsel underage girls about these practices because, among other reasons, they cannot legally consent.

When speaking to underage girls, Rose said, “you shouldn’t be promoting sɛҳuąƖ activity in the first place, but especially such dangerous and violent sɛҳuąƖ activity.”

“The promotion of violence during sex to teens is something that everyone can agree is completely unacceptable.”

In July Live Action released videos of investigations at two Denver-area Planned Parenthood affiliates that similarly found staff members promoting violent sɛҳuąƖ practices, including sadism and masochism, to underage minors.

One staffer encouraged an investigator she believed to be a teenager to search the internet, watch pornography and go to sex shops for ideas. The staffer advised the young woman to search using her phone to avoid parental oversight.

Planned Parenthood received over $540 million in taxpayer funds in its most recently reported fiscal year, according to Live Action. The federal government has also designated it a “navigator” to assist those seeking information about health insurance exchanges created under the 2010 health care legislation.

Some affiliates are receiving federal Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP) grants for sex education.

“They position themselves not only as the nation’s authority on sɛҳuąƖ education, but they are getting taxpayer dollars to do it,” Rose said.

She said Planned Parenthood should “absolutely not” be receiving taxpayer funds.

“They’re the biggest abortion chain in our country. They already kill over 350,000 children a year.”

Rose said that the abortion provider’s actions are “part of a larger agenda which ultimately leads to the culture of death,” including sɛҳuąƖ addiction, broken relationships and broken families.

Rose urged parents, educators, taxpayers, legislators and other state authorities to get involved, suggesting that parents and others write to school boards stating that they do not want school districts to have any relationship with Planned Parenthood.

A report investigating audits of Planned Parenthood claims to show that the national abortion provider’s practices may have led to the loss of more than $100 million of taxpayer money.

Publicly-available audits and testimonies from former employees “strongly suggest that Planned Parenthood affiliates systematically take advantage of 'overbilling' opportunities to maximize revenues,” Alliance Defending Freedom said in their 2014 report “Profit, No Matter What.”

The report, which is Alliance Defending Freedom's third annual report on the abortion-performing corporation, examined 44 external audits of Planned Parenthood as well as 51 federal audits of state family planning programs.

Together, these audits suggested that Planned Parenthood practices “resulted in losses to the American taxpayer of more than $115 million” from healthcare funding programs.

Report suggests Planned Parenthood may defraud taxpayers

Cecile Richards, president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, speaks during a rally for the organization.Washington D.C., Aug 12, 2014 / 02:06 am (CNA/EWTN News).- A report investigating audits of Planned Parenthood claims to show that the national abortion provider’s practices may have led to the loss of more than $100 million of taxpayer money.

Publicly-available audits and testimonies from former employees “strongly suggest that Planned Parenthood affiliates systematically take advantage of 'overbilling' opportunities to maximize revenues,” Alliance Defending Freedom said in their 2014 report “Profit, No Matter What.”

The report, which is Alliance Defending Freedom's third annual report on the abortion-performing corporation, examined 44 external audits of Planned Parenthood as well as 51 federal audits of state family planning programs.

Together, these audits suggested that Planned Parenthood practices “resulted in losses to the American taxpayer of more than $115 million” from healthcare funding programs.

Planned Parenthood affiliates nationwide, the report charges, have engaged in “waste, abuse, and potential fraud” by billing federal healthcare programs separately for drugs and procedures provided as part of an abortion procedure, providing prescription drugs without a physician’s approval, and billing the government programs for drugs that were not actually provided or patients that have not been seen at the clinic, among other dishonest billing practices.

“Nearly every known audit of Planned Parenthood affiliates has found overbilling,” the report said.

The audits found that Planned Parenthood received $8 million overpayments from Title XIX- Medicaid programs, and have “have specifically identified Planned Parenthood affiliates as the source of at least $12.6 million in waste, abuse, and potentially fraudulent overbilling of taxpayers.” In addition, state audits found that the organization overcharged at least $107 million for state family planning programs.

These federal and state programs, the report said, “are understaffed and rely on the integrity of the provider for program compliance.”

The “weight of evidence,” the report continued, “indicates that the waste by Planned Parenthood may be widespread.”

The findings, Alliance Defending Freedom stated, “suggest that such policies may be the result of, at a minimum, a policy of benign neglect over billing practices organization-wide by Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s headquarters in New York City.”

Annually, Planned Parenthood receives millions of dollars from the federal government, acquiring more than $500 million – nearly half of its operating budget – in 2013 from government programs.

Between 2004 and 2013, Planned Parenthood received a total of more than $4 billion from the government in taxpayer money.

In recent years, this heavy funding of the abortion giant has led to federal efforts to reconsider the organization’s federal funding. In January 2013, the “Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act” was introduced in Congress, which would allot tax funds for women’s health care to providers who do not perform abortions except in cases of rape, incest, or to save the life of the mother.

And in August 2013, the nonpartisan Government Accountability Office launched an investigation into Planned Parenthood’s use of taxpayer funds at the request of Congressional lawmakers.

In their study, Alliance Defending Freedom also pointed to previous reports which also investigated potential fraud, malpractice, and other violations of federal regulations.

“Planned Parenthood affiliates have also been fined or settled in cases involving wrongful death/medical malpractice, failure to report child sɛҳuąƖ abuse and rape, and regulatory violations,” the report stated.
