Lila Rose, 20, a student at UCLA, who has been carrying on an undercover battle against Planned Parenthood believes her efforts are having an effect on local governments nation-wide.

The Los Angeles Times reporting Sunday says legislators in Tennessee are going to try to terminate a $721,000 contract with Planned Parenthood, after being inspired by a video Lila Rose made, posing as a minor seeking an abortion at a clinic in Memphis.

As well, last month supervisors in Orange County, Calif., rescinded a $300,000 sex education grant, after a conservative businessman meeting with Rose raised objections to it.

Since 2006, Rose has orchestrated undercover stings at Planned Parenthood clinics in Los Angeles, Indianapolis, Bloomington, Tucson, Phoenix and Memphis. Posing as 13 and 14-year-olds at various clinics in a number of states, Rose and a friend claim much older boyfriends have impregnated them. Refusing to name their boyfriends during counselling sessions with Planned Parenthood workers, the two wait to be asked to lie and say they were impregnated by teens nearer their age. Surreptitiously video-taping their interactions, she and a friend posed as abortion-seeking teens impregnated by older men. Accusing Planned Parenthood of failing to report suspected statutory rapes, Rose's strategy is not a new one in the anti-abortion trenches.

Trying to undermine legal abortion by exposing Planned Parenthood, the largest provider of abortions in the country, Rose's goal is to show the organization abets sexual exploitation by counselling pregnant minors to lie about the ages of their adult boyfriends.

Accusing Rose of slanted editing when posting her videos on YouTube and strenuously denying the charge, Planned Parenthood officials say protecting minors is a crucial part of their mission. It has responded by increasing efforts to train its staff, saying with 30,000 employees and volunteers and 850 clinics, mistakes are inevitable.

While, it is unlikely that abortion will be outlawed any time soon, Rose's work does seem to be having an impact, particularly at a local level, with anti-abortion forces stepping up their efforts.
