Next in Live Action's multi-part docuseries showing irrefutable evidence of a decades-long sexual abuse cover-up at Planned Parenthood is an interview that will reveal how the taxpayer-funded organization lied when they told the American people and the media that they were "retraining" staffers. The interview originally aired last year; however, in this current climate of the TimesUp and MeToo movements as well as a growing intolerance for enablers of abuse, it is imperative that the American people know the kind of organization they are being forced to fund through Title X, Medicaid and other state and federal tax dollars.
"Despite Planned Parenthood's public rhetoric as well as laws requiring it to report suspected abuse, its failure to report has been deliberate and widespread," Live Action president and founder Lila Rose stated in her group's initial press release.

"Time and again, rather than reporting abuse to authorities, Planned Parenthood has repeatedly looked the other way and committed abortions on victims as young as 12 years old. These girls deserved advocacy but instead Planned Parenthood staff ignored their abuse and returned them to the waiting arms of their abusers." (See the video on the recorded cases in which Planned Parenthood covered up sexual abuse here.)
"Live Action is releasing this report as the TimesUp movement is exposing both sexual abusers and those who help them cover up their crimes — the people who knew about the abuse but stayed silent," Rose added.
The Aiding Abusers report, according to Rose, "includes numerous court cases, multiple news media reports, official police reports, state health department records, manager testimonials admitting a failure to report, and statements of underage sex abuse victims saying they were returned to their abusers after forced abortions."
The next video release of the docuseries reveals how Planned Parenthood lied after being caught on film in an undercover Live Action investigation, displaying a willingness to turn a blind eye to child sex trafficking.
CNN Planned Parenthood to retrain after covering sexual abuse
As Live Action News has previously reported, in 2011, Live Action investigators exposed eight Planned Parenthood staffers at seven different Planned Parenthood facilities willing to aid and abet child sex traffickers by suggesting how to get abortions and birth control for their 14- and 15-year-old victims. After Live Action released the undercover footage exposing Planned Parenthood, the abortion chain informed the media that it would retrain thousands of staff members across the country to properly report suspected sexual abuse of minors to authorities.
Proof of those "claims" can be seen in this Live Action News report.
Planned Parenthood lied about retraining staffers on sexual abuse
Ramona Treviño, who was employed as a Planned Parenthood manager in Sherman, Texas, when these so-called retraining sessions were to have occurred, revealed that these "retraining sessions" actually instructed staff how to identify undercover journalists and whether they were being recorded instead of helping employees identify and report potential abuse.
"Planned Parenthood Federation of America went out publicly saying that they would retrain all of their staff on how they reported abuse," Treviño states in the video interview below:
The alleged retraining was pitched to the media as a way to ensure that Planned Parenthood staffers knew how to identify victims of child sexual abuse or sex trafficking. And, of course, as Live Action News had previously documented, the media accepted Planned Parenthood's words with zero follow-up.
Treviño, who attended the "retraining," describes it instead as a training on how to detect if employees were being recorded.
"And, when we were called into this meeting, I – um – went in really believing that Planned Parenthood could redeem themselves. They are going to prove that they really do care about women and this is something that really concerns them," Treviño tells Rose in the video.
Ramona Trevino said Planned Parenthood lied about retraining staff to identify sexual abuse
The former Planned Parenthood manager continued:
I walk into the room and it's dark – we sign in – and there's a projector screen pulled down. And, they begin to play all of the previous undercover investigations that had been put out about Planned Parenthood. And I became very perplexed. I thought, you know, what's going on here? Are we showing these things because they're trying to show us, you know, what not to do? You know, the things that are wrong- that we don't do these things?
… I raised my hand and I said, "I'm confused. Like, when are we going to actually begin the retraining? What can I do, as a manager, to take this information back to my staff and… enforce policies and procedures that would help protect women who are experiencing either sex trafficking or abuse, sexual abuse in any way?" Because, that's a difficult subject to talk about, if you ever have a patient come in who expresses that. And so, I really wanted to know how we dealt with that.

However, despite Treviño's continued questions, the former Planned Parenthood worker claims she was simply shot down.
… She immediately shot me down, and she said, "We're not here to talk about that, Ramona. We're here to teach you how to identify if you're being videotaped or recorded or entrapped in any way."
At that moment, my heart just sunk. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I couldn't believe that we were actually, um, there to train on how to identify if we're being recorded. Again, it goes back to…do we have something to hide? Why, why is this an issue for us?
"That experience for me left me so disgusted that I couldn't see how Planned Parenthood could ever redeem themselves after that," Treviño adds.
This first hand account of that alleged "retraining" has been virtually dismissed by members of the mainstream media, which is regularly rewarded by Planned Parenthood for its silent complicity. Live Action's Aiding Abusers docuseries and investigative report come on the heels of new proposed rules from The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which would require recipients of federal Title X dollars to report sexual abuse.
Planned Parenthood rewards journalists that ignore fact that PP covers sexual abuse
In addition to one former Planned Parenthood worker testifying to systemic sexual abuse cover-ups at Planned Parenthood, Live Action previously released video testimony from other former workers, corroborating Live Action's claims.
"Because of flagrant violations like these, the proposed Title X rule tightening on reporting abuse is absolutely necessary," Lila Rose stated in the aforementioned press release.
She then called for Planned Parenthood to be investigated and defunded immediately:
"Planned Parenthood has proven that its priority is selling abortions, not caring for the most vulnerable of girls. Planned Parenthood's culture of cover-up must end, the cycle of abuse of innocent children must end, and Planned Parenthood's half a billion dollars in annual federal funding must end. Taxpayers cannot be forced to subsidize these abuses of children."
Rose has also called for the TimesUp movement to join Live Action in exposing Planned Parenthood for decades of enabling sexual abusers.

Former Planned Parenthood staff: We were told not to report sexual abuse

Live Action's Aiding Abusers docuseries, exposing how Planned Parenthood aids sexual abusers by failing to report child sexual abuse, makes it clear that the taxpayer-funded organization views children not as potential victims but more as "animals" who are unable to control their sexual appetites. In the latest release from the the Aiding Abusers docuseries, former Planned Parenthood workers reveal how the organization treated victims of sexual abuse:
In her introductions of the Former Workers video, Live Action president and founder Lila Rose points out:
When it comes to reports of sexual assault and sexual harassment, Planned Parenthood has used the slogan that we should 'trust women,' so lets's follow that advice and listen to the testimonies of these four women who are former Planned Parenthood workers and managers who all say the same thing, that Planned Parenthood routinely covers-up child sexual abuse.
Aiding Abusers Planned Parenthood Former Workers Testify
In the video, former Planned Parenthood employee Catherine Adair observed how the organization routinely allowed sexual abusers into the counseling rooms with their victims. When Adair objected, she was scolded and told that the victims were better off with abortions.
"There'd be girls coming in with their abusers…. Even if I went to the manager and I said, look, there's something going on here, she would say, 'She's better off with the abortions. We can't do anything about what's going on at home but at least we can give her the abortion.'"

Monica Cline, a former HIV health educator and Title X training manager, observed Planned Parenthood's work first hand:
I was teaching on human trafficking and statutory rape, and was telling Planned Parenthood staff of Corpus Christi and the Gulf Coast, basically, you've got to report when you see a girl coming in with an older man that you can tell is not her father. You know something's wrong, you've got to report that; it's considered human trafficking. It is also considered statutory rape; you've got to report this. And they started laughing.

She went on to state, "And I said, 'I don't think there was anything I said that was funny. What's going on here?' And the response was, 'Honey, if she's not having sex with this man this week she'll have another one next week.'"
Think about that response for a moment. If what Cline is saying is correct, victims of sexual abuse are seen by this abortion corporation as simply promiscuous and in need of abortions and birth control, rather than protection from sexual predators. And that is exactly what Cline went on to describe, noting that, in her opinion, Planned Parenthood sees potential victims of child sexual abuse in a "distorted" way (emphasis added):
And so their view of our children is distorted. It's dehumanized. I don't know why their hearts are hardened, but they are. And so when a girl or a young man goes there for an abortion, or condoms or testing, they don't see them with compassion anymore, if they ever did. Um, they see them as just, almost like an animal who can't control themselves; they're always gonna have sex so we're just going to give them enough lube and condoms and hope they come in to get tested before they get some kind of cancer. They're not gonna stop statutory rape.
Um, one of the things that they even mentioned was, they adopted [a] don't ask, don't tell [policy]…. If we don't ask how old her partner is, we don't have to tell. And so, Planned Parenthood actually allows victims of human trafficking to continue to be victims of human trafficking. And they're okay with that. I went back to my office and I told my supervisor, like — listen, I'm trying to teach them about key concepts on Title X; they're admitting that they're not gonna report cases of statutory rape.
The response from my supervisor was, "Your job is to teach them key concepts, and that's it." She was really upset with me that I challenged that.
Former Planned Parenthood manager Sue Thayer stated that Planned Parenthood was more concerned about potential "trouble" from the victim's family or boyfriend than they were about the victim. Thayer told Live Action, "We were all required to be mandatory reporters, but if we saw a case… uh… questionable abuse, or even for sure — I mean, this kid is being abused – um, we really were discouraged from calling it in, just because, uh, they didn't want to have the trouble, the angry parent, uh, the angry boyfriend, whatever it was. So, more than once I was told, 'No, that is not reportable – you don't need to call it in.'"
Aiding Abusers: Planned Parenthood former manager Sue Thayer says PP covers child sexual abuse
Former Planned Parenthood employee Marianne Anderson also testified to a systemic cover-up of sexual abuse at the abortion corporation. She described an Asian girl who came to Planned Parenthood with a very controlling man who even talked for the girl. The girl described living in a place with many other young women, little food, and little clothing. Perhaps you and I can read between the lines here, but for Planned Parenthood, no alarm bells were raised and all they saw were dollar signs for the abortion.
Aiding Abusers: Planned Parenthood former employee Marianne Anderson says PP covers child sexual abuse
When Marianne was asked how she felt about the lack of concern Planned Parenthood had for this potential victim, she responded, "Degraded, like women don't really matter."
"Like men — some men can be very controlling — but I think Planned Parenthood even added to that," the former Planned Parenthood employee said.
These former staffers are not alone. Victims themselves have pointed out Planned Parenthood's willingness to be complicit in sexual abuse.
One victim's story, published anonymously by Feminists for Life, claims that when she was abused at the age of 12 by both an older brother and a college-age friend of the family, Planned Parenthood's only concern was how often she was having intercourse, not who may have impregnated her:
[M]y older brother took me to Planned Parenthood…. The whole visit was terrifying. No one explained anything. I was examined, gave urine and blood samples, and shown a chart of an egg going around a big circle marked by days of the month. I was asked questions like, "frequency of intercourse?" and "method of birth control preferred?" I did not know what intercourse meant, so I just said "a lot," and I had no idea what methods of birth control existed. No one asked who my "partner" was; no one expressed any dismay, concern, or even interest that a 12-year-old girl needed a pregnancy test. I heard a lot about "being responsible" and "taking control of my body.
Someone gave me a handful of condoms on the way out and made a joke about it being an assortment — red, blue, and yellow. The yellow ones were called Tinglers. I stuffed them in my purse and threw them away later.
My older brother maintained a strong silence throughout the entire time — no one asked him a single question.
The victim claims that she ended up starting her period and did not keep the abortion appointment. In addition, she states that the sexual abuse ended only after one predator moved away and the older brother set his sights on other victims from the neighborhood.
Sadly, this girl's abuse — and many other victims' abuse — may have been prevented if Planned Parenthood had bothered to ask about potential abuse.
Live Action's Lila Rose stated in a press release:
Despite Planned Parenthood's public rhetoric as well as laws requiring it to report suspected abuse, its failure to report has been deliberate and widespread. Time and again, rather than reporting abuse to authorities, Planned Parenthood has repeatedly looked the other way and performed abortions on victims as young as 12 years old. These girls deserved advocacy but instead Planned Parenthood staff ignored their abuse and returned them to the waiting arms of their abusers.
Because of flagrant violations like these, the proposed Title X rule tightening on reporting abuse is absolutely necessary.

Planned Parenthood's culture of cover-up must end, the cycle of abuse of innocent children must end, and Planned Parenthood's half a billion dollars in annual federal funding must end. Taxpayers cannot be forced to subsidize these abuses of children.
Live Action is releasing this report as the Time's Up movement is exposing both sexual abusers and those who help them cover up their crimes — the people who knew about the abuse but stayed silent. While Planned Parenthood has attached itself to the Time's Up movement, the movement should be calling out Planned Parenthood for decades of enabling sexual abusers.

Child porn, harassment, and rape: Is Planned Parenthood a haven for sex offenders?
Planned Parenthood's political organizer president Cecile Richards recently expressed concern about accusations brought by women claiming to have been sexually harassed by men in power. While these accusations and admissions are greatly concerning, it seems Richards has overlooked her own back yard, so to speak. Plenty of Planned Parenthood employees have had their own share of troubles in this arena.
Jorge Martin-Santana
According to Sacramento Superior Court records, Jorge Humberto Martin Santana was arrested in 2013 and charged with one count of misdemeanor sexual battery, under criminal code PC 243.4(E)(1), which reads in part:A California jury found a Planned Parenthood medical assistant guilty of misdemeanor sexual battery after inappropriately touching a patient during the course of his duties at Planned Parenthood.
Any person who touches an intimate part of another person, if the touching is against the will of the person touched, and is for the specific purpose of sexual arousal, sexual gratification, or sexual abuse, is guilty of misdemeanor sexual battery…
In February of 2015, Martin-Santana pleaded "not guilty," but on April 9, 2015, he was sentenced to 140 days in a sheriff's work project and three years of probation.
Timothy Liveright Planned Parenthood abortionist accused of sexual harassment
In 2013, Planned Parenthood RN Jayne Mitchell-Werbrich, who worked at Planned Parenthood Delaware's Dover and Wilmington clinics, told blogger Jill Stanek that abortionist Timothy Fouch Liveright had sexually harassed employees and patients.
"I have noted Dr. Liveright inappropriately look up and down patients as well as staff members in a sexual kind of way. He actually stands back with a grin and slowly directs his eyes up and down a patient's body."In 2013, Planned Parenthood RN Jayne Mitchell-Werbrich, who worked at Planned Parenthood Delaware's Dover and Wilmington clinics, told blogger Jill Stanek that abortionist Timothy Fouch Liveright had sexually harassed employees and patients.
Jayne resigned from Planned Parenthood after her letters of complaint to management were ignored. The nurse also said she observed Liveright "acting condescending to African American patients by implying they were ignorant," among other charges.
Liveright worked for several Planned Parenthood locations.
A Delaware Medical Licensure complaint filed against Liveright claims Planned Parenthood reprimanded him for "unprofessional, disrespectful, and inappropriate" conduct, including "yelling, screaming, and cursing" in front of employees and patients and "sexual harassment of female employees."

A consent agreement filed in 2014 says Liveright agreed to obtain "sexual harassment training":
According to USA Today, Liveright played an abortionist in the 2010 Hollywood movie, "Blue Valentine":
In 2013, media reported that Liveright surrendered his license to practice medicine in Delaware, but a November 2017 query reveals that Liveright's Pennsylvania license is still active.
In July 2008, the Miami Herald reported that Planned Parenthood's national office cut ties with several Florida centers after accusations of "terrible mismanagement and possibly fraud," including alleged sexual harassment against a former CEO:
Miami Herald Planned Parenthood cuts ties with 5 clinics, sexual harassment
The Herald stated:
Several female patients claimed Illinois Planned Parenthood physician, Carl E. Burpo, "engaged in improper conduct during a gynecological examination" at Burpo's office and at Planned Parenthood, where he worked part-time. He was eventually indicted on 21 counts of sexual misconduct.
One complaint alleged that Burpo fondled patients' "breasts and in some cases made other sexual advances toward seven patients in 1990 and 1991 while examining them."

A 1993 report states that Burpo was suspended from practicing at Planned Parenthood. A jury acquitted him in two of the cases but in February 1995, the Illinois Supreme Court reinstated eight of the criminal sexual assault charges.
His medical license was suspended in 1995.
Roger Ian Hardy
Former Planned Parenthood abortionist Roger Ian Hardy was forced to surrender his Massachusetts medical license in January 2014, amid allegations that he sexually molested patients during fertility treatments at Fertility Centers of New England.
Hardy had previously committed abortions for Planned Parenthood facilities in Massachusetts and California.Former Planned Parenthood abortionist Roger Ian Hardy was forced to surrender his Massachusetts medical license in January 2014, amid allegations that he sexually molested patients during fertility treatments at Fertility Centers of New England.
Operation Rescue notes, "Why Hardy eventually left Planned Parenthood is unknown, but a Boston Globe article published on May 1, 2014, indicates that Hardy's abhorrent sexual misconduct stretched back as far as 20 years. Hardy was working for Planned Parenthood during that time, in which Planned Parenthood abortion patients were likely exposed to molestation by Hardy as well."
In 1987, the Minnesota Board of Medical Examiners revoked the license of Hideo D. Mori for alleged sexual improprieties involving 10 patients over 23 years in Grand Meadow. A report states that administrative law judge Allan W. Klein found Mori had "inappropriately massaged some of his patients, telling one of them… that he needed to stimulate her genital area to fit her properly for a diaphragm."
Klein wrote that Mori claimed to have romantic feelings toward the patient, caressing her body and kissing her to make her sexually aroused, understanding "that it was not medically indicated."

While Mori served as a volunteer physician for Planned Parenthood nearly 18 years, there are no indications that his patients there were victims in this case.

The NY State Department of Health accused Planned Parenthood of Rochester and Monroe County physician, Joseph L. Lizardi, of sexual misconduct, including sexually stimulating one patient and telling another she was pretty while touching her breasts.

According to the document, Lizardi was also accused of speaking with another patient in an "obscene, threatening and disparaging manner."
Jerry Gonzales PP volunteer
On December 29, 2004, 46 year-old Planned Parenthood volunteer, Jerry Steven Gonzales, was convicted of raping a 12-year-old boy, as well as unlawful sex with a minor and two counts of pandering sexually oriented material involving juveniles, for incidents with two 16-year-old boys. In addition, he was convicted of felonious assault for having sex with a 17-year-old boy and not telling the victim about his HIV status. The incidents occurred at Gonzales' home in Ohio.
Authorities found 50 videos of Gonzales having sex with boys.On December 29, 2004, 46 year-old Planned Parenthood volunteer, Jerry Steven Gonzales, was convicted of raping a 12-year-old boy, as well as unlawful sex with a minor and two counts of pandering sexually oriented material involving juveniles, for incidents with two 16-year-old boys. In addition, he was convicted of felonious assault for having sex with a 17-year-old boy and not telling the victim about his HIV status. The incidents occurred at Gonzales' home in Ohio.
Police claim Gonzales pleaded guilty to a "similar, misdemeanor charge in Michigan in 1989 but was not required to register as a sex offender."
Gonzalez worked as a volunteer at Planned Parenthood of North West Ohio's HIV Outreach center until his arrest on October 12, 2004.
Gonzalez was sentenced to 20 years in prison.
Planned Parenthood CEO arrested for indecent exposure

Soon after, Thornton apologized and resigned from Planned Parenthood.1. In 2012, Tony Ray Thornton (pictured right), the president and CEO of Planned Parenthood in Lubbock, was arrested for exposing his genitals to a 43-year-old male in a Texas park.
"I deeply regret creating a situation in my personal life that potentially creates a distraction from these goals, and I apologize to the people in the Lubbock community for the incident," Thornton stated. "I will work with my attorney through the appropriate court process to correct any misinformation and take responsibility for errors."
According to the county clerk, the charges in Thornton's case #2012-469-378 were dismissed on February 28, 2013, in the "interest of justice."
In 2010, Thornton helped Planned Parenthood purchase a closed facility — renamed Planned Parenthood Women's Health Center, Inc. — after the owners retired.
2. In 2005, Planned Parenthood employee Aymara Castro said Planned Parenthood of Houston and Southeast Texas subjected her to "unlawful sexual harassment, and to disparate terms, conditions and privileges of employment because of her sex." She won her claim, filed with Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), which found Planned Parenthood had "failed to take corrective action to stop the harassment and retaliated against her for engaging in protected activity."

Kabacy was not practicing at Planned Parenthood at the time of his December 2006 arrest. According to the US Attorney's office:
Kabacy admitted in his plea agreement that he knowingly possessed more than 8,000 images of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct. Kabacy also admits to possessing videos of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct, both on his computer and on 36 compact disks. Some of the images depict children under the age of 12. Kabacy admitted that he communicated with other people over the Internet, expressing his interest in having sex with minors and exchanging more than 40 images of child pornography with these other people over the Internet.
Kabacy's Oregon, Washington State and California medical licenses were later revoked.
2. Douglas Attig was accused by authorities of inappropriate, sexually oriented comments and contact with patients.

The complaint, filed in 2000, does not state where the incidents occurred. While there is no indication the assaults occurred at Planned Parenthood, news reports show that the organization admitted Attig occasionally committed abortions for them after he was targeted by an explosive device in 2001.The commission's statement of charges alleges that Attig repeatedly spanked, kissed and hugged a patient, also sending her "copious amounts" of inappropriate and suggestive e-mail.
On July 13, 2001, the Board suspended Attig's license but issued a stay allowing him to continue to practice on a probationary term.
Many additional troubling actions by Planned Parenthood have been documented, including a failure to report child sexual abuse. Reports also show that victims of sex trafficking are sometimes taken to Planned Parenthood centers for forced abortions by their pimps.

A fired Planned Parenthood staffer has been charged with felony embezzlement in Oklahoma County District Court, according to a local media outlet. Kelly Lee Smith, 38, worked at Planned Parenthood's first facility in the state to offer abortions, located in Warr Acres. A report published by Newsok.com said the abortion staffer was arrested October 11, 2017, after she allegedly used a Planned Parenthood credit card to buy lingerie, hotel rooms, amusement park attractions, and a cruise.

Authorities allege that between May and August of 2017, Smith fraudulently charged over $23,000 across nine states and Mexico. According to NewsOk.com, Planned Parenthood fired Smith on August 28. The paper reported that additional unauthorized credit card charges by Smith included clothing, pet supplies, beauty products, waxing services, electronics, pedicures, home decor, child care, and fast food, according to the affidavit.
Police reported Smith embezzled an additional $2,424 in cash that was supposed to be deposited into the Planned Parenthood bank account, the paper added.
Smith is not the first Planned Parenthood staffer to be accused of theft.
Planned Parenthood staffer sentenced Buffalo News
In July of 2013, a Planned Parenthood employee who worked as the organization's accountant pled guilty to second-degree grand larceny after stealing over $100,000 from the organization. WIVP reported at the time, that between August 2012 and March 2013, 44-year-old Melissa Kwoka forged checks from Planned Parenthood of Western New York to herself and her husband, according to a criminal accusation by the Erie County District Attorney's Office.
Melissa Kowka
Planned Parenthood employee forged checks
According to the Buffalo News, Kwoka was originally sentenced to six years in jail and five years probation on the contingency that she repay $102,733 to the abortion corporation. The paper reports that, "The judge ordered her to make monthly payments for 10 years of $647.78 to Planned Parenthood to cover $77,733 of the stolen amount. The judge also ordered $208.33 monthly payments to M&T Bank, where the checks were drawn, to cover $25,000 the bank paid Planned Parenthood for failing to catch a portion of the thefts."
However, after failing to abide by the terms and pay the stolen funds back, in June of 2015, Kwoka was sentenced to three years in prison.
Melissa Kwoka sentenced
Why this thief was hired by Planned Parenthood, which receives over half a billion dollars from the taxpayer each year, is a mystery to begin with. Live Action News previously reported that Kwoka had three previous convictions for theft offenses before her employment with the abortion business. In addition, Kwoka was accused of stealing over five hundred dollars from a friend's bank account while on bail after her embezzlement conviction.
David Nova
In 2011, a Planned Parenthood executive in Virginia was jailed on charges he stole wine from a Roanoke county store. David Nova, vice president of Planned Parenthood Health Systems in Roanoke, was charged with three counts of petty larceny. According to Roanoke.com, which reported the story at the time, "The charges stem from bottles of wine Nova took through a self-checkout line at the Cave Spring Kroger. The incidents occurred on two separate dates in January, according to online court records."
Nova is known for defending Planned Parenthood after Live Action undercover investigations revealed Planned Parenthood staffers helping an actor posing as a pimp obtain abortions for minor girls. (Video below)
According to a report published by Life News, Nova claimed to have reported the incident to police after the "pimp" left his facility:
On February 4, David Nova, vice president for Planned Parenthood Health Systems Inc, told the News Virginian that 'police were notified after the man left.'
'The employees on these edited tapes in Roanoke and Charlottesville acted professionally in their interactions with the fake patient,' Nova said in a released statement. 'In both cases, they promptly reported the incidents to their supervisors.'
But FOIA'd documents obtained later by Live Action indicate that this was not true.
For his crime, Nova was ordered by a judge to serve three weekends in the Roanoke County Jail. But, according to media reports, the charges were dismissed after Nova completed his jail time. Nova's attorney called his arrest "personal" and said it has nothing to do with his job.
In 2004, Nova, then CEO of Planned Parenthood of the Blue Ridge received Planned Parenthood's "Jimmy Award," to "help advance the Vision for 2025 by rewarding bold and creative thinking."
A newsletter published by Planned Parenthood Health Systems since the incident indicates that this did not affect his standing with Planned Parenthood. In fact, Nova's LinkedIn page currently shows that he is employed as VP of Communications and Strategic Initiatives for Planned Parenthood Health Systems, Inc., although the page may not have been updated.
In 2008, a Rhode Island ABC affiliate reported that the 59-year-old CEO of a Planned Parenthood in that state had been caught shoplifting at the Warwick Mall.
Planned Parenthood staffer accused of shop lifting
Planned Parenthood of Rhode Island President and CEO Miriam Inocencio, a veteran of the organization, was caught by police after allegedly stealing an $89 Liz Claiborne blouse from the local Macy's Department Store, the report claimed.
A 990 filed by Planned Parenthood of Rhode Island in 2010 shows that the former CEO earned nearly $100,000 in salary and compensation in 2008.
Inocencio's LinkedIn page reveals that she served as President and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Rhode Island from 1997 to 2008. She previously worked at Planned Parenthood Federation of America's International division from 1984 to 1992.
The Planned Parenthood president pleaded out in court and agreed to reimburse the store. Inocencio told the media that she later voluntary resigned from Planned Parenthood but added that she was proud of what she accomplished during her 13 years as their director.
Planned Parenthood CEO Theft
In 2002, Inocencio, a black Cuban-American woman, indicated that she was originally hired by the abortion business because of her ethnicity.
In a piece she penned to Non-profit Quarterly, Inocencio wrote that prior to Planned Parenthood hiring her in the mid-1990's, the staff at the Rhode Island Planned Parenthood was overwhelmingly white.
"For many years the PPRI staff and board had, with few exceptions, remained overwhelmingly white and middle-class and almost exclusively English speaking," she said.
Inocencio added that "pressure from external systems […] along with other motivations resulted in the board's decision to hire a CEO of color, and this made for a relatively smooth transition to a multicultural organization."
What those "other motivations" were was not specified but as Live Action News has well documented, Planned Parenthood's founder Margaret Sanger made sure that Planned Parenthood was knee deep in eugenics. And, the organization's ties to eugenics continued far beyond their founder, as Live Action News previously documented.
Today, with the help of Planned Parenthood, abortion disproportionately affects minority Black and Hispanic communities.
In contrast to Planned Parenthood staffers who are involved in theft, former Planned Parenthood whistleblowers have exposed the abortion corporation's own trouble with numbers by accusing the tax-funded organization of Medicaid fraud. And, as Live Action News has documented, Planned Parenthood has been cited in several states for overbilling abuses and Medicaid fraud. In addition, Planned Parenthood has been cited for violating patient privacy and has been exposed for failing to report child sexual abuse.
Former Planned Parenthood exec exposes how PP's success is linked to power and money

Top Planned Parenthood executive: Major government funds keep us in business
Cecile Richards
A former top executive for Planned Parenthood once admitted that the abortion corporation's success is linked to power and money, and that taxpayer dollars enabled the abortion corporation to recruit, hire and pay their top staffers six-digit salaries — all while actual health services and patients declined.
For years, pro-life groups have documented that the hundreds of millions in government dollars Planned Parenthood receives are fungible, acting to free up other dollars which would normally be used for salaries, facility rent, and general overhead. Though Planned Parenthood leads the American public to believe that those taxpayer funds do not pay for abortions or the salaries of staff that commits abortions, top officials at Planned Parenthood, like R. James LeFevre, Jr., knew differently.
LeFevre began his career with Planned Parenthood in 1974 and was considered a mover and shaker inside the organization.
According to his resume, LeFevre worked as Chief Strategic Officer for the Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) from 1999-2006, as PPFA's Chief Operating Officer from 1996-1999, as interim co-president of PPFA from 1995-1996, and as executive director of Planned Parenthood of Northern New England from 1977-1995. In other words, he was not a low-level employee, but was heavily involved in the workings of Planned Parenthood as an organization.

In 1992, he authored a booklet called "Redirecting Boards, a New Vision of Governance for Planned Parenthood," written as a reference for the various PPFA affiliate leaders.
It is there that LeFevre exposed how "the major influx of government funds" became the catalyst behind Planned Parenthood's ability to recruit its staff. LeFevre writes:
Some 20 years ago the managerial "professionalism" of the executive director (and often the senior staff) began to emerge. This became possible because of the major influx of government funds (primarily federal), providing resources that enabled Planned Parenthood to offer extensive training to incumbents and to hire experienced managers (not just social workers, ministers, or nurses, who did not always have such managerial preparation or experience). This trend continued for other senior staff positions….
In other words, the ability for PPFA to hire top notch staff, executives and board members was directly related to public taxpayer funds.
LeFevre would know. After all, in addition to his many jobs within the abortion corporation, Live Action News previously reported that LeFevre was one of the nine members of PPFA's "Reinvention Group," tasked to "literally design PPFA in order to succeed in the era of health care reform." Or, as the New York Times described it at the time, to change Planned Parenthood to a "broad health organization that could compete in the era of managed care." But, despite today's misleading rhetoric, this so-called "reinvention plan" created in the mid 1990's to morph Planned Parenthood from an abortion facility into a health care agency failed because it barely mentioned abortion.
Live Action News has documented that Planned Parenthood is all about abortion and political organizing, but the scheme to masquerade as a health care organization continues to this day and has made Planned Parenthood executives very wealthy. According to Planned Parenthood's annual reports, between 1997 and 2004, taxpayer dollars to Planned Parenthood increased over 65 percent from $165 million (1997) to $272.7 million (2004). Within those same years, abortions also increased a staggering 54 percent from 165,174 to 255,015.
What else increased during that same time period? The salary of PPFA's president, Gloria Feldt.
Former PPFA president Gloria Feldt
In 1997, PPFA paid Feldt $245,853, plus $25,000 in expense account and other allowances. By 1999 (just two years later), Feldt was compensated $324,217 plus $16,938 in employee benefits and an additional $68,000 in expense account and other allowances.
Feldt's salary increased each year by the amounts listed below (all categories totaled):
2000- $24,000 increase
2001 – $14,000 increase
By 2004, the last year Feldt was employed by Planned Parenthood, her salary from PPFA skyrocketed to over $902,148 ($490,679 in compensation, $346,570 in employee benefits and an additional $64,899 in expense account and other allowances).
In other words, within just a few years, and with the help of government dollars, the president of Planned Parenthood had received a whopping 233 percent increase in her salary.
Enter Cecile Richards, whose "accomplishments" mirror those of Feldt. In 2006, when PPFA hired Richards to be their CEO/political organizer, government dollars to the abortion corporation jumped from $336.7 million (2006) to $554.6 million (2015), also increasing nearly 65 percent.
Since Richards was hired to the organization's CEO position, abortions rose from 289,750 to 328,348.
Thanks to Richards, Planned Parenthood now garners nearly 35 percent of the abortion market, while the organization's actual health services and patient numbers are dwindling. But that hasn't prevented Richards from seeing her salary increase. Richards began her career at Planned Parenthood receiving an annual compensation of $360,902, according to PPFA's 990 reports that year. And, just like her predecessor, her salary also skyrocketed.
While abortions remained on the increase along with taxpayer dollars, Cecile Richard's salary rose by over 165 percent. According to PPFA's IRS Form 990 for 2014, in just a few years, Richards' salary and compensation had reached a staggering $957,952.
Richards isn't the only one cashing in on taxpayer dollars.
An analysis by American Life League (ALL) in 2017 examined compensation paid to Planned Parenthood's 12 top employees and found they received a total of $4.7 million. The report also found that the average compensation of an affiliate CEO had increased 22 percent in just the last two years.
In addition, ALL found that all 56 PP affiliate CEOs made over $100,000 per year with some making more:
33 make over $200,000 a year
6 make over $400,00 a year
1 makes in excess of $500,000 a year
"The total compensation paid to all PP CEOs is $13.4 million. This income puts the average Planned Parenthood CEO in the top five percent of all workers in the United States," ALL wrote in its press release.
A look at Planned Parenthood's record reveals that it doesn't deserve a cent of taxpayer money:
Documented evidence that women do not need Planned Parenthood for contraceptive services
Documented evidence that Planned Parenthood is losing patients
Documented evidence that services at Planned Parenthood are decreasing, despite an increase in abortions and government funding
Documented evidence dispelling Planned Parenthood's 3% abortion myth
Documented evidence that Planned Parenthood lies about the services it provides, including prenatal care
Documented evidence that Planned Parenthood does not provide mammograms, despite claiming that it did
Documented evidence that funding Planned Parenthood also funds its abortion facilities
Documented evidence that Planned Parenthood has abortion quotas
Documented evidence that abortion is the primary service that tax-funded Planned Parenthood offers pregnant women because, as a former worker testified, "they made their money if somebody had an abortion"
Documented evidence regarding the poor standard of care Planned Parenthood gives to their clients, with former Planned Parenthood managers accusing Planned Parenthood of "treating women like cattle" and using ultrasounds only for abortions
Documented evidence that Planned Parenthood is misinforming women about the development of their babies
Documented evidence that Planned Parenthood was a eugenics-based organization at the time of its founding
Documented evidence that Planned Parenthood has been cited for overbilling abuses and Medicaid fraud, and for violating patient privacy
Documented evidence that Planned Parenthood is failing to report child sexual abuse (a violation that alone should result in the organization losing millions of taxpayer dollars granted to it under the federal Title X Family Planning Program)
Documented evidence on the kind of sex "education" the abortion corporation is giving to teens, with Planned Parenthood promoting BDSM and other disturbing sexual practices to teenagers
The list above does not include the number of women injured or killed after using Planned Parenthood's abortion "services."
So, while taxpayers are forced to fund this corrupt organization to end the lives of over 900 preborn babies a day, Planned Parenthood has increased its excess revenues (that's right: profit) from $55.8 million in 2005 to a whopping $77.5 million last year alone all while paying its executives, especially its CEO, extremely high salaries.
It was all a part of the plan, as LeFevre outlined in his book where he noted, "In the last decade it has become abundantly clear that Planned Parenthood's success is closely linked with power and money… it takes political muscle and big bucks to prevail."
Sadly, many of those big bucks come from the taxpayer. Enough is enough. A full defunding of America's corrupt abortion corporation is imperative.
Was Planned Parenthood worker fired for coaching teen about BDSM sex?

The Indy Star is reporting that the Planned Parenthood staffer who coached a teen to perform BDSM sex acts with her boyfriend is no longer working at the center.
It is unclear whether she was fired or left on her own !
The revelations came after the pro-life group, Live Action released undercover video showing the shocking "counseling session."
Live Action's president, Lila Rose responded to the news, "Throwing one employee under the bus does nothing to solve the abortion giant's organization-wide problem: their promotion of dangerous sexual activity to teens in their online materials and programs. Lawmakers need to take action immediately to stop forcing taxpayers to pay for Planned Parenthood, and parents should call their school principals and superintendents to cut off Planned Parenthood's access to teens in their communities."
According to Life News, in this and forthcoming videos, Planned Parenthood counselors encourage undercover investigators posting as 15 and 16-year-old teens, to engage in the sadomasochistic practices, telling the underage teens "if it's consensual, it's OK… it's totally OK."
The Daily Caller points out that Live Action documented counselors encouraging girls as young as fifteen to use whips, handcuffs, gags, bondage, dominatrix-play and even asphyxiation — deprivation of oxygen — during sex. The age of consent in the United States is 16 or older, depending on the state.
"I wouldn't say 'abuse' because it's consensual," one counselor tells an actress posing as a 15 year old. "Patients will sometimes come in with rope burns, or, um, markings on their breasts from, like, clamps. OK? And again, if it's consensual, it's OK…"
Over two years ago, Planned Parenthood produced a video promoting these practices to teens, though public outcry led them to insist that the videos were intended only for adult viewing.
Live Action president Lila Rose said the video — the first of several tapes from other Planned Parenthood centers around the country that her organization plans to release — reveals Planned Parenthood's support of "dangerous" sexual experimentation that should alarm parents and lawmakers. She also said it should result in Planned Parenthood losing federal funds for sexual education.
"They're pushing dangerous sexual practices on teens and promoting them to teens," Rose said. She also said such practices "are going to set teens up for physical, emotional and mental problems."
Planned Parenthood spokeswoman Tammy Lieber would not reveal to the Indy Star whether the employee was fired or left voluntarily, or when that occurred, due to privacy policies.
During the discussion at the center at 3750 N. Meridian St., the Live Action investigator says she has questions about sex and that her boyfriend wants to do some role-playing and some "kink."
The Planned Parenthood worker tells her about different types of sex role playing, suggests reading the "50 Shades of Grey" book series, gives her a pornography website address and explains about some sadomasochistic practices. She also tells the investigator to agree on boundaries with her boyfriend and to use a "safe" word when something hurts.
In the footage, the Planned Parenthood employee explains to the Live Action investigator, posing as a fifteen-year-old girl, , "You could be a dominatrix-type of person," she says, "where you dress in all leather, with the whips and the handcuffs."
"These tapes are so outrageous," said Rose, "that they are hard to believe — so-called 'health' counselors promoting dangerous and violent practices to young girls, recommending porn sites, sex shops and how to hide these activities from parents."
Life Dynamics Inc., a national pro-life organization located in Denton, Texas responded to the video.
Mark Crutcher, president of Life Dynamics was outraged after he viewed the Live Action videos and has posted a video response on YouTube calling for the government to finally stop funding Planned Parenthood.
In the video Crutcher states, "At Life Dynamics, we did an undercover sting operation over 10 years ago proving that Planned Parenthood is operating a nationwide pedophile protection ring. And it is still in business today. Now, Live Action has shown that another sort of demented and illegal behavior is also going on. Look, what we know is that Planned Parenthood is nothing more than a collection of moral degenerates and sexual deviants. And again, Live Action just proved it. There are only two things we don't know. First, when is the US government going to stop giving these people two million dollars a day in our money? And second, how much longer are the American people going to allow their children to be turned over to these perverts? Enough is enough."
Ex-Planned Parenthood Worker Tells of Abortion Quotas, Patient Abuse
Posted in Planned Parenthood Employee, Planned Parenthood ex employee with tags Ex-Planned Parenthood, Former Clinic Workers, Marianne Anderson, Nurse, Planned Parenthood on February 18, 2014 by saynsumthn
H/T NewsMax:
Planned Parenthood has monthly minimum quotas, pressures vulnerable young women to have abortions, and conducts procedures solely for the sake of profit-making, says a former employee of the pro-choice organization.
In an interview with The Criterion, a publication of the Catholic archdiocese of Indianapolis that says it is "Indiana's largest weekly newspaper," registered nurse Marianne Anderson described a litany of abuses she said she witnessed in her two years at the state's largest abortion facility, including accounts of insensitive and abusive behavior by abortion doctors.
"It was a money-grubbing, evil, very sad, sad place to work. I was always getting in trouble for talking too long to the girls, asking if they were sure they wanted to do this," Anderson said.
"You have to have so many [abortions] a month to stay open," she said. "In our meetings they'd tell us, 'If abortions are down, you could get sent home early and not get as many hours.'"
Anderson said she saw many women pressured into abortions they did not want, and detailed a number of instances in which minors were taken to the facility without a say or full knowledge of what they were facing.
