Statement by Penny Nance, CEO of Concerned Women for America
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17, 2011 /
Christian Newswire/ -- The following is released by Penny Nance, CEO of Concerned Women for America:
"The half million members of Concerned Women for America (CWA) demand that Congress immediately cease all funding of Planned Parenthood and we call on the US Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate Planned Parenthood's role in aiding and abetting the sex trafficking of minors. The video exposé by Live Action is an 'Acorn' moment and clearly demonstrates an organization-wide culture of turning a blind eye to criminal activity. For this reason we call on the DOJ to investigate Planned Parenthood for violations of Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) laws.
"The chilling realization one gets when viewing these videos is that if actors posing as sex traffickers can get help from Planned Parenthood with a wink and a nod, all with no question asked, then clearly Planned Parenthood is an unindicted co-conspirator in the dramatic rise of sex trafficking in the United States over the past several years. Untold damage has already been done to countless girls and young women and Planned Parenthood must be held accountable.
"All the grants must be examined and criminal charges should be brought. Claims by Planned Parenthood of future training are a desperate attempt to cloud the issue. The damage to our young boys and girls by sexual predators is done. This organization cannot be trusted with taxpayer funds and Congress should cut them off immediately."
