Live Action Takes On Louisville Abortion Clinic

Live Action, a youth-led pro life group, has released an undercover video in which a Louisville abortion clinic (1) ignores the apparent statutory rape of a 14 year old having sex with at 31 year old; (2) steers her to keep the abortion secret from her parents by getting a judicial by-pass of parental notification even though there is no suggestion that the parents are abusive; (3) tells her where to get funding to pay for the abortion; and (4) even lines up a lawyer to get the judicial by-pass

The video was made with a UCLA student posing as the 14-year old at EMW Women's Surgical Center on Market Street in Louisville in June 2008.

Perhaps the saddest part of the video is that the abortion worker tells the young women, "Oh, honey, we have minors in here all the time" and perform lots of "surgeries" on minors every day.

There is a second video that focuses on the bogus medical advice that EMW gave the young women, telling her that at 14 weeks, "it's not a baby" and there is no brain activity.

Really, I would prefer that the national stories about Louisville stick to the Derby and our crazy senate race. Live Action has done similar stories about abortion clinics all over the country, but it is very disheartening to think of a place on Market Street undermining the role of parents as well as the sanctity of life by doing lots of "surgeries" on minors, "every day."

Update: EMW told WAVE 3 that it had no duty to report statutory rape because the EMW employee was a receptionist, not a counselor.
