Imagine if Catholic priests were caught on audiotape discussing the cover-up of their crimes. Can you imagine the media frenzy that would ensue? Countless media outlets would blare these recordings so often and so repeatedly that no American could escape hearing them.

        Yet when Life Dynamics, Inc., the prominent pro-life organization from Denton, Texas, conducted a major investigation and played audiotapes indicating that workers at Planned Parenthood clinics could be enabling widespread child abuse and statutory rape in this country, the silence in the American media was deafening.

        In early 2002, Life Dynamics procured an actress to pose as a 13-year-old girl seeking an abortion. As audiotapes were rolling, the "girl" called over 800 abortion clinics, and in each instance she identified her age and the age of her "boyfriend," 22 years. In every call, it was made clear that the girl was sexually active with this man. Despite laws in all 50 states that require mandated reporting of child abuse or neglect, in over 90% of the calls, clinic workers were heard skirting their legal obligations. In fact, in several calls, clinic workers were heard encouraging the girl to lie and/or telling the girl that they would ignore the reporting laws.

        Despite the riveting nature of these tapes, this story was virtually ignored by all major media outlets. A search for "'Planned Parenthood' AND 'Life Dynamics'" at the archives of cbsnews.com, abcnews.com, msnbc.com, cnn.com, latimes.com, and nytimes.com returns ZERO results on this sobering story.

        A search at foxnews.com returns one article. A local Fox affiliate in Connecticut conducted is own investigation and determined the calls to be authentic and serious (link to view the report).
