Planned Parenthood Indy’s BDSM pusher “no longer employed” – a LIE?
UPDATE 6/13 7:10a: Planned Parenthood claims it was lying to Live Action on the call. According to USAToday.com:
A Planned Parenthood official acknowledged the staff member who took the call Thursday set up an appointment for the woman posing as the teen, even though she knew it was a Live Action operative.
Planned Parenthood staff went along with the caller’s request to meet with the specific counselor only because the agency would never tell a client about confidential personnel or employee issues, said spokeswoman Tammy Lieber.
“We knew it was a fake,” she said.
UPDATE 6/12 5:20p: Here’s the audio.
UPDATE 6/12 2:45p: Per Lila Rose on Facebook, Live Action made a follow-up call to the Indianapolis Planned Parenthood today and was told the supposedly ex-staffer was still working there. Stay tuned.
6/12 12:11p: The first casualty of Live Action’s new investigation exposing Planned Parenthood’s proclivity to introduce minors to the dark and dangerous world of BDSM has been seen. According to IndyStar.com last night:
Planned Parenthood of Indiana and Kentucky says an undercover video released Wednesday by a pro-life group doesn’t reflect the agency’s training or standards and that the employee advising the fake client no longer works at the Indianapolis Midtown center….
Planned Parenthood spokeswoman Tammy Lieber… would not reveal whether the employee was fired or left voluntarily, or when that occurred, due to privacy policies.
But according to Live Action’s Lila Rose in an email this morning, the employee seen on video giving explicit BDSM advice to someone she thought was a 15-yr-old was employed at Planned Parenthood’s Midtown location as recently as June 9, two days before Live Action’s video release. “We made an appointment with her just this Monday for today [Thursday],” wrote Rose.
In a statement, PPIK CEO Betty Cockrum tried to confuse the issue by stating, “We are here to ensure that persons of all ages may ask us anything….”
But Live Action’s investigator never even asked about BDSM. The counselor took it upon herself to introduce the topic, going on to describe hitting, domination, leather, whips, handcuffs, and anal sex as well as recommend a violent, sexually graphic book, porn, and sex toys. If that weren’t inappropriate enough, the counselor spiced up the conversation by adding explicit details of her own BDSM sex life.
Cockrum, pictured right, added Planned Parenthood well-worn excuse, “[T]he heavy editing of this video makes it impossible to know the full exchange that took place….”
But the only reason this video was edited was due to the X-rated content provided by Planned Parenthood employee to a supposed 15-year-old.
Furthermore, an extended cut is available for adults to view, and Live Action will make the entire video available for viewing upon request.
Planned Parenthood’s 50 shades of BDSM
Finally, as Live Action asked in a statement:
They [Planned Parenthood] announce terminating the employee for violating “professional standards” but never specify what those standards are. Meanwhile, their BDSM training video remains online, and they continue to list “resources” that tell kids that torture sex is totally fine. So what exactly did the staffer in our video do to bring the wrath of Planned Parenthood down on her?
Well, Planned Parenthood?
Oh Planned Parenthood..so many outliers work for you!
And no one is highlighting the that she also talks about AEA
Auto erotic asphyxiation which kills people!!!!!!
And how inappropriate to be sharing personal sexual experiences!!!!

Interesting. What about the employees they reportedly fired after Live Action’s other investigations? Do they still work there too?

It’s easy to verify if she still works there by just surveilling the facility and getting pictures of her going in and out on multiple days so they can’t claim she was just picking up a final paycheck or clearing out her desk.

The IndyStar says that the fake client asked about “role-playing” and “kink,” id est, BDSM. Is the IndyStar lying, or are you?

Back in my day, role playing meant pretending to be the pizza deliverer. *sigh* Am I old?

Not old, just “of a certain age.”

Fear not. Cece Richards will come forward and debunk the entire thing as just a misunderstanding.
The Queen of Lies will fix this…just wait and see.

Lisa C, BDSM, which stands for ‘bondage/discipline/sadism/masochism (or sadomasochism), is a very specific type of ‘kink’. So neither lied. It’s like if someone said ‘we’re curious about fruit’ and the person replied by detailing info about apples. Well, they didn’t ask about ‘apples’ but the question could easily be answered by talking about apples. Neither role-playing nor ‘kink’ has to include bdsm. Although all bdsm is kink. It’s still a highly strange answer to respond with when a teen asks about being in a relationship where *one* party is curious about potentially violent sexual contact. Even if a teen asked flat out ‘I’m curious about bdsm’ I still wouldn’t expect anyone in a position of authority to give this type of answer!

Help me get this straight….
So “Ashley Phillips” called PP a few days before the video was released, and chatted with Meegan again. She made an appointment to talk some more about her new sex toys.
Then the video was released, and Meegan got thrown under the bus by PP.
And finally, “Ashley Phillips” calls PP after the video was released, and the PP is very coy about discussing Meegan. “We knew it was a fake call from Live Action.”
I don’t know what Live Action intended to accomplish with that final call…. of course, PP would realize by then that “Ashley Phillips” was Live Action. It was interesting to hear PP’s response, all the same. The staff were clearly unnerved.

No, it’s a portmanteau acronym standing for Bondage/Discipline/Domination/Submission/Sadism/Masochism. Meaning that any of the above falls under BDSM. It’s synonymous for “kink.”
But Live Action’s investigator never even asked about BDSM.
This is demonstrably false. At the 2:30 mark the “investigator” asks “What do you do with, like, the whips and stuff?” Seriously, if this blog can’t be trusted to tell the truth about information that is publicly accessible, why should we believe anything else that it says?
But the only reason this video was edited was due to the X-rated content provided by Planned Parenthood employee to a supposed 15-year-old
The time stamp on the video shows a number of four- or six-second edits where LiveAction cut out the “investigator’s” question. If LiveAction only cut out X-rated material, then we can only infer that the investigator was asking X-rated questions.
Also, LiveAction added S&M scenes to the trailer on its website, but blurred out the word “nipple.” How many pro-lifers really believe that “nipple” is a dirty word?
