WASHINGTON, D.C. (Catholic Online) - A second video released today from Lila Rose and Live Action once again shows Planned Parenthood's willingness to cover up the sexual abuse and trafficking of underage girls, this time at a clinic in Richmond, Virginia.

In the same scenario as the New Jersey clinic encounter, a man and a woman posing as a pimp and prostitute enter the clinic and begin asking about treatment for STD's. The pimp explains that he manages a group of young girls, age 14 - 15, and that they will need STD checks and birth control. The PP worker repeatedly assures him of confidentiality, and says that her clinic treats people "from all walks of life" (citing as an example the girls from the local strip club).

Then the pimp asks what the procedure is if the girls need an abortion.

The clinic worker explains that girls under 18 will need parental consent for an abortion, but then details the option of getting a "judicial bypass" for any girl who doesn't want her parents or guardian to find out about the abortion. She cautions that in Virginia time is critical for obtaining the bypass and performing the abortion, as it must be completed before a specific week and day in the pregnancy. Then she explains that the laws in Maryland/D.C. are more lenient and will allow more time for an abortion, so if they miss the Virginia deadline they can still go to Maryland/D.C.

The PP employee clearly states that her clinic is well-versed in obtaining this judicial bypass, that they do it "at least once or twice a month" for young girls.

Planned Parenthood receives over $300 million in taxpayer dollars each year. They have demonstrated a repeated willingness to facilitate the sexual abuse and trafficking of very young girls, and adeptness at circumventing the law in order to give cover to sexual exploitation and secret abortion.

Live Action sent the entire footage and transcript to Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli and asked for a statewide investigation, just as they asked the New Jersey Attorney General to investigate PP in that state.

The entire, unedited video can be seen here.

Unfortunately, the premise of Live Action is a lie. See this article for more info:

Christine does bring up a valid point however. We as Catholics need to do more than just hold prayer vigils during a campaign. We have to work hard to staff and fund whatever type of clinics etc that will give people an alternative to seeking "care" at planned parenthood. It's great that we are willing to spend so much energy influencing our politicians, but I think perhaps our Church needs to call us to more. At the rate our politicians are going, abortion is never going to change. But given the number of self-professed Christians in this country, this really shouldn't be a problem.

Christine, Planned Parenthood has advocated for the deaths of tens of millions of unborn children since 1973. What they are doing is wrong. Their actions are wrong. "Judge not lest ye be judged" is misplaced compassion. How about some compassion for the millions that were killed in the womb? Also, any doctor or clinic can treat a person for STD.

I feel that the anger toward that 1 Planned Parenthood employee is well-founded, however, as a whole, the organization is helpful for the community that cannot afford "real" medical care. If I knew of a 15 year old prostitute I would take her to them for treatment and STD protection. Saving one child of the street is worth everything. How can anyone judge that has not been there. Judge not lest ye be judged.

I believe we as Catholics are going about this in the wrong way. Our Lord, our Shepard first loved, then criticized. If we fail to love Planned Parenthood, then we are no better then our enemies. What they are doing is not right, but that should not make our love towards then less powerful.

If we do not present both sides of the story while criticizing our brothers and sisters in Christ then we are no better then the media coverage of the Priest Sex Scandals.

I pray that some how these negative articles, in regards to the role Planned Parenthood plays in our society, will not just be another one sided review, but will allow both sides to be viewed in the best possible light for that will allow us to more easily show love and mercy to our fellow siblings in Christ.

Separate Jesus from government, from science from life and you get a confusing, devilish, illogical culture of death because it has rejected the light and life of Jesus Christ. They never loved people, because if they truly had loved they would have loved the creator.

STOP voting for them YOU HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE THIS AND IT STARTS WITH YOU, and if you don,t when you die ,JESUS, : will ask you WHY WHAT YOU DID TO THE LEAST .YOU DID TO ME .JC
