"Planned Parenthood" or "Protecting Predators"?

Apparently, Planned Parenthood has more important things on its agenda than protecting young women from sexual predators. (Money, perhaps?) Otherwise, why would they encourage teenage girls to lie about how old they are, how old the guys was, etc. Read on (via Stop the ACLU):
Student reporter Lila Rose posed as a 15 year old, entered a Santa Monica Planned Parenthood and announced that a 23 year old man had impregnated her, according to the Advocate, a student magazine at UCLA. Planned Parenthood staff informed Rose that this constituted statutory rape and then encouraged her to “figure out a birth-date that works,” to obtain the abortion and avoid getting the man in trouble with the police. The Planned Parenthood staff assured Rose that if she said she was 16 or older, they wouldn’t have to report the rape.

“California’s mandatory reporting laws for statutory rape are supposed to protect pregnant minors,” said Lila Rose, Editor in Chief of The Advocate. “Underage girls are being targeted by predators, and Planned Parenthood is busy covering up the evidence. How many other rapes has this one clinic covered up?”

The second issue of the UCLA student publication, The Advocate, was released yesterday and includes the full report of this story, along with youtube.com links to video taken of the event.
No, no, it's all about "reproductive health", and "choice", and all that! It's not about money! Yeah, right. These are people that think that your dentist's office should be cleaner and more sterile than an abortion clinic. They don't have a problem with abortionists using the same equipment on more than one victim patient without it being sterilized. And they obviously don't care about justice when it comes to teenage girls being impregnated by much older men.
