Update: Planned Parenthood Employee Fired Over Fake Pimp Vid

Shocking undercover video emerged yesterday of a New Jersey Planned Parenthood manager coaching a fake pimp and prostitute on how to bypass reporting laws and suggesting how the couple could run their child prostitution ring. While Planned Parenthood initially defended itself (by saying it had reported the U.S. Attorney General), yesterday afternoon it said it would take appropriate action. By last night, we found out what that action would be: the group has fired the manager.

The manager, identified in the video as Amy Woodruff, advised the couple to lie about their young prostitutes‘ age and even explained how the girls could be used to entice customers if they couldn’t have sex.

“We were profoundly shocked when we viewed the videotape released [Tuesday] morning, which depicted an employee of one of our health centers behaving in a repugnant manner that is inconsistent with our standards of care and is completely unacceptable,” Phyllis Kinsler, executive director of Planned Parenthood of Central Jersey, said in a statement released at 10:20 p.m, NJ.com reports.

“We have a zero tolerance policy for this kind of behavior, and the employee in the video was immediately suspended from her duties [Tuesday] morning and was terminated [Tuesday] evening,” Kinsler said. “We are fully committed to delivering high-quality reproductive health care to the women of our communities, complying with all laws, and upholding the highest ethical standards.”

Still, NJ.com says Kinsler questioned the editing of the group behind the video, Live Action. In response to that criticism, the group has released the full, unedited footage of the undercover operation.

NJ.com says the NJ Attorney General Paula Dow asked the Division of Criminal Justice to investigate whether the manager should face legal action. “At first glance, I find these allegations to be very disturbing,” she said in a statement. Additionally, her spokesman said Gov. Chris Christie’s office as well as some legislators had referred the matter to her attention.

“New Jersey taxpayers and every state and federal elected official and law enforcement agency throughout this country should be outraged,” Marie Tasy of New Jersey Right to Life told NJ.com, adding that Planned Parenthood does not deserve taxpayer funding.

Last year, Christie cut state aid to 58 family-planning facilities across New Jersey.

    A public shunning is what the doctor orders. Amy Woodruff’s name is and forever should be mud. Next, SilentWatcher is correct (”A little pressure and public interest could just tell the government to push it to the legal limits.”). And Tower7FEMACamp, too, is right on: “If we can’t cut out this govt agency then Please tell me which ones will ever be cut ?” Our govt has not done enough to curb spending. This is an opportunity to point out an area that should be considered for defunding. I believe it was Aristotle who said, “Never let a crisis go to waste. Uh, what I mean is, …”

    I love it when I’m right….which isn’t too often! hehhehe In all seriousness this truely was disgusting and I’m pleased to see that their administration realized that they were BUSTED. Its pretty hard to try to minimize the damage when its plain as the nose on the end of your face. The attempt to spin it fell flat due to the fact the woman in the video would have had to have been one heck of an actress to have made us believe she was “just going along with it”. She would have deserved an Academy Award…..and they would have been saying the American public was as dumb as a rock…..and we would have deserved that moniker if we had believed their “spin”. Now they are on to the next stage….minimizing the damage. Lets see how that goes and how much they think we will swallow. God bless

    “We are fully committed to delivering high-quality reproductive health care to the women of our communities, complying with all laws, and upholding the highest ethical standards.”

    So scraping babies out of their mothers womb is womens’ reproductive health care. I hate that, how about the emotional and mental health of women who grow a conscience and at some point realize that they are guilty of murdering their unborn child.

    On the left “the highest ethicl standards” means lying, promoting child abuse, child rape, and murder of the innocents. As long as it is ACORN or Planned parenthood doing it.

      It wouldn’t surprise me if the ones getting charged are those who did the sting. Yesterday, libs here were screaming about ‘entrapment’, not giving a flying hoot about what the PP manager herself did voluntarily. The useless libs didn‘t even bother thinking about the manager’s own words and actions. They were concerned only with the sting itself, and how ‘mean’ and ‘unfair’ it was.

      I’m willing to bet that some Congresscritter will soon introduce a bill to make stings like this, by common citizens, a crime with steep penalties and fines.

      What I’d really like to see, however, is PP investigated on possible RICO violations. But I won’t hold my breath.

Our prisons as well as hell itself are full of idots who fell for the same thign over and over…Also, Remember its a “scam” when an evildoer does it, and a “tactic” when a do-gooder does it. You ask why is PP evil? Simple; Their business model requires killing half of all the people who come in their front door. For them that is an ideal result. It is such an upside down “Alice In MurderLand” world they have created in their minds…that they actually strive to make Abortion Clinic Safer! What a joke! A safer please to kill people.

      Does everyone know how Planned Parenthood got started?

      Margaret Sanger (their patron saint) was heavy into eugenics and wanted to eliminate the “defectives and inferior races”. She worked hard to create Planned Parenthood as a way to accomplish her goal.

      When I first heard this I thought it was some kind of conspiracy theory, but when I began to do my homework I found out it was true. Now I know why PP centers are often located in lower class and impoverished areas.

      Read Margaret Sanger’s own words. Disgusting.

      My issue with PP is that they offer “health” services, including abortions, to minors without requiring consent from the parents or guardians. Your 15 year old daughter could go in and get an abortion, and you would be none the wiser. PP doesn’t teach any type of personal responsibility to young women, and doesn’t allow parents to become involved either. By this stance, PP basically condones sexual activity in minors without fear of consequences. Whether you are for or against abortion in general, we are talking about children using abortion as birth control.
