Ridiculous plot to frame Planned Parenthood as sex traffickers
I bet you thought this title was a joke. You'd be wrong. My favorite post on the subject comes from Elizabeth Pisani:
I'll have a rant about something that is somehow still shocking to me: the lengths to which loopy anti-abortion groups in the United States will go to deprive women of safe contraception and sexual health care. The target, once again, is Planned Parenthood. Over a one-week period last month, men went in to the sexual health service providers clinics in 11 cities, claiming to be sex traffickers seeking services, including abortions, for the underage girls they've enslaved. That would be a really dumb strategy for a real sex trafficker in the US, even more than in Britain, the authorities are under pressure to find the army of enslaved girls that the abolitionists conjure up at every turn.
... Planned Parenthood immediately suspected that no trafficker would be that dumb. Certainly not 11 traffickers in different cities in a week, when such a thing had never happened before. Though it smelled like a hoax, they dutifully reported the alleged trafficking to the FBI and asked for an investigation. Now loopy anti-abortionist group Live Action has admitted, with some pride, to their juvenile prank. They've released two of their undercover videos, to which they added juvenile-prank-style title screens.
