PP "sting" section is highly selective
[edit]The coverage of the sting on this article is:
"In 2007, Rose visited two Planned Parenthood facilities in Los Angeles and recorded undercover videos while purporting to be a 15-year-old girl who had been impregnated by a 23-year-old male who was accompanying her, telling staffers she did not want her parents to find out about the relationship. No employee at either clinic objected to the situation, and a receptionist at one facility "told Rose to say she was 16, because if she was 15, the clinic would have to make a report to the police." Rose has posed as an abortion-seeking teen impregnated by an older man in additional stings at Planned Parenthood clinics in Indianapolis, Bloomington, Tucson, Phoenix and Memphis. According to Politico, "Within the anti-abortion community, Rose has been widely lauded for her undercover investigations into abortion clinics.""
On the Project Veritas article, it is:
"In 2006, O'Keefe met Lila Rose, the founder of an anti-abortion group on the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) campus. They secretly recorded encounters in Planned Parenthood clinics in Los Angeles and Santa Monica, in which Rose posed as a 15-year-old girl impregnated by a 23-year-old man. Rose and O'Keefe made two videos incorporating heavily edited versions of the recordings and released them on YouTube. The video omitted the parts of the conversation in which a Planned Parenthood employee asked Rose to consult her mother about the pregnancy and another employee told her, "We have to follow the laws." Rose took down those videos after Planned Parenthood sent her a cease and desist letter in May 2007 asserting that the videos violated California's voice recording laws, which require consent from all recorded parties, but they continued to make more clandestine videos."
The coverage on this article is directly contradicted by the coverage on the Project Veritas article:
- "No employee at either clinic objected to the situation," here, "The video omitted the parts of the conversation in which a Planned Parenthood employee asked Rose to consult her mother about the pregnancy and another employee told her, "We have to follow the laws."" there.
The coverage on this article is blatantly omitting relevant info:
- "According to Politico, "Within the anti-abortion community, Rose has been widely lauded for her undercover investigations into abortion clinics.""" here, but on the Veritas article, it's mentioned that she had to take down the videos for legal concerns.
- No mention on this article, at all, about the video being selectively edited or omitting content.
Considering that the deceptive videos were a major news story at the time and are the main thing Lila is known to the public for, it's bewildering that this article omits this content.
I'd like to request that this article be revised to be more in line with the more comprehensive coverage on the Veritas article, by inserting this section (with sources from Veritas article)
"Rose and O'Keefe made two videos incorporating heavily edited versions of the recordings and released them on YouTube. The video omitted the parts of the conversation in which a Planned Parenthood employee asked Rose to consult her mother about the pregnancy and another employee told her, "We have to follow the laws." Rose took down those videos after Planned Parenthood sent her a cease and desist letter in May 2007 asserting that the videos violated California's voice recording laws, which require consent from all recorded parties, but they continued to make more clandestine videos.""

- Your addition sounds good to me. I guess any Wikipedia article's quality depends on the motivation and interest of volunteers to improve it, so it is not surprising that we have inconsistencies, but your edit should improve it, Thanks! ---Avatar317(talk) 00:35, 15 March 2025 (UTC)

Rose’s website was recently asked to remove articles that were declared “false and defamatory” for their statements about women seeking abortions.I think some mention of this should be added to the Wikipedia page. [1] Clgr97-1 (talk) 17:50, 10 August 2026 (UTC)
