I think KWWL fell for it
I think KWWL fell for Live Action's little game here;

NEW YORK (AP) - A California-based anti-abortion group that has been waging a campaign against abortion provider Planned Parenthood released a videotape Tuesday that the group says shows an employee at a New York City clinic giving advice to a man posing as a pimp and seeking health services for underage sex workers.

Planned Parenthood of New York City said the videotape does not accurately portray the agency's practices and that the incident was reported to law enforcement.

Live Action, based in San Jose, Calif., claims the video demonstrates that a clinic employee was willing to help someone who was sexually exploiting minors by doling out advice on testing for sexually transmitted diseases and abortions.

"This footage shows that underage girls and young women are at potentially grave risk when they walk into Planned Parenthood clinics," Lila Rose, president of Live Action, said in a statement.


No mention of course of how these people had been exposed as the goddamn liars they are before this story was posted. I (politely of course) pointed that out to KWWL's news director in an email.
