Abortionists Providing Cover for Statutory Rape?


"For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed" (John 3:20, NASB)

Meet Lila Rose, a 20-year-old History major at UCLA. Her diminutive size, small voice, and ability to act coy have allowed her to spoof being a 13- to 15-year-old seeking an abortion at Planned Parenthood. Rose's video and audio exposes are now making huge waves in the media. A recent video is provided below. In it Rose tells an Indiana Planned Parenthood nurse that she is only 13 years old and has been impregnated by her mother's 31-year-old live-in boyfriend. The nurse bluntly tells her "I don't want to know how old he is," then goes on to counsel her on how to lie about the situation. The video finishes with the nurse drawing a circle around an Illinois clinic address, where an abortion can be obtained without parental consent.



Granted, one could raise a legitimate argument against the deception involved in Rose's tactics, but shouldn't there be universal outrage that an adult in a position of authority would so willingly comply in a cover-up of statutory rape? These issues are emotionally charged and both sides of the debate are given to over-the-top characterizations -- and at times there is violence. So, in light of all we've heard at Copperhill and in God's Word about living out the gospel, how can we respond in a way that is loving, truthful, and morally consistent?

We'd like to hear your thoughts on this.
