Lila Rose: Swirling case ‘another tragic example of the tie between abortion advocates and the exploitation of young girls’

Yesterday, former National Family Planning & Reproductive Health Association director Scott Swirling was caught in an undercover sting operation by D.C. police and has been arrested for trying to solicit sex with a twelve-year-old girl. Live Action President Lila Rose released the following statement on the matter:

Abortion advocate Scott Swirling, former director of National Family Planning & Reproductive Health Association, was recently caught in an undercover sting operation by D.C. police and has been arrested for trying to solicit sex with a twelve-year-old girl. This is yet another tragic example of the tie between abortion and the exploitation of young girls. The National Family Planning & Reproductive Health Association (NFPRHA), Planned Parenthood and other pro-abortion organizations have demonstrated their complicity with child sexual abuse and should be investigated, not funded by hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars. Live Action calls for investigative action and the immediate and total removal of government funds from all abortion industry initiatives.
