A pro-life organization that took the lead in uncovering the widespread practice among abortion providers of covering up the sexual abuse of minors has decided to release its full inventory of undercover tapes.
According to Mark Crutcher of Life Dynamics, his organization conducted a comprehensive sting in 2002 of every Planned Parenthood and National Abortion Federation clinic in the U.S. This operation was conducted from Texas, where it is legal for one party to tape conversations without the other’s knowledge.
In the sting, a woman posing as a 13 year-old who had been impregnated by her 22 year-old “boyfriend” told clinics she needed an abortion to keep her parents from finding out they were sexually involved. The woman spoke with staff at 813 clinics in all 50 states, where adult sex with underage children is illegal, which would have required clinic staff to report these cases. However, 91 percent of all clinics contacted expressed a willingness to help cover up what was obviously a case of statutory rape.
Until this week, only a few of these audiotapes were released to the public. However, due to the widespread interest in the topic of clinics covering up the sexual abuse of minors that was sparked by the recent work of the pro-life organization, LiveAction, Crutcher decided now was the time to release the tapes.
“We released some and not others because I didn’t want them to know everything we had,” Crutcher told pro-life activist, Jill Stanek, R.N. “I was trying to get them to litigate.”
He claimed he called them “every name I could” to try to get them to sue for slander, but they wouldn’t bite because they knew a suit would give Crutcher the chance to get more information about them through the discovery process.
“But they know that and will never sue,” he said. “I’ve finally given up on the idea.”
Stanek says there is very “damaging, never before heard corroboration that the abortion mill likely in your own backyard is willing to aid and abet pedophiles.”
She’s urging everyone to make the most of the tapes.
