This is not an abortion debate.
This is about the right way to do something. If you have a problem with a company like Planned Parenthood, protest them. Ask them to change, but don’t get shady. Lila is shady.
If you’re going to protest Planned Parenthood, DON’T do it like this. Don’t lie. Don’t undermine what they are doing with some trick.
Fuck you, Lila. Fuck your effort to trick people. Fuck you for pretending to be a victim of statutory rape (oh, and statutory rape has to be a far smaller problem than most Americans think it is, but that’s a whole ‘nother issue). Fuck you for exploiting the right wing media.
Please shut up. Please use your good looks (admit it, you wouldn’t have gotten this far had you been ugly) and your passion to do something better.
Stop telling us what’s wrong. Tell us how to fix it. We have enough people to point out problems, what we need are solutions.

Yes, it is a big underhanded. There are better ways to handle a problem with any organization. It was just sensationalism, plain and simple.
It could always be worse, though. This wacko used his car to make a point:

If Planned Parenthood were just some private association working with private donations only, I’d agree. But given how heavily taxpayer-funded they are, to the point of being a QUANGO, I think they should be fair game for citizens to use whatever method (short of physical violence of course) they see fit to crack PP open and get some sunshine in there. Want to do things the right way? It can’t get much more wrong than government-granted privileges to organizations that represent special interests.
Saw this in the… suggested category, so I thought I’d chime in 1 yr later.
Police lie in interrogations to get confessions and that is OK.(legally) What makes this different. Do you feel that if Lila were 15 PP would have said something different? #justsaying
