Planned Parenthood employee 'no longer employed'

The Planned Parenthood employee involved in an online video that went viral Dec. 3 is no longer employed by the organization.

The video shows a 20-year-old UCLA student, who went undercover as a 13-year-old, going into Planned Parenthood, saying she was impregnated by a 31-year-old man and asking for help. The Planned Parenthood employee, “Diana,” is seen telling the teen to cross state lines to get an abortion that doesn’t require parental consent.

After the video was released, the employee was suspended without pay.

Planned Parenthood of Indiana sent out a press release Wednesday stating that their investigation has been completed.

“All health center staff members have been retrained on reporting procedures and policies,” said Betty Cockrum, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Indiana. “We will continue to review and update our policies and procedures as appropriate to ensure that all of our employees are meeting the high standards we demand.”

Lila Rose, the UCLA student in the video, said the group chose the Bloomington location because it was in a college town and because of the strict regulations Indiana has to protect young girls.
