(AP) - An anti-abortion group that has targeted Planned Parenthood released a secretly recorded video yesterday that purports to show a couple posing as a pimp and a prostitute receiving abortion and contraceptive counseling at a Vir- ginia clinic for their underage sex workers. The group, Live Action, said the video illustrates Planned Par- enthood's "willingness to aid and abet in the sexual exploitation of minors and young women." The shaky video and its soundtrack has been given to law enforcement officials, Live Action said, and it has asked anti-abortion state Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli to inves- tigate "these heinous practices." Cuccinelli's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Associ- ated Press. Gov. Bob McDonnell was "deeply troubled" by the video and urged an investigation by local police, a spokesman said. "The apparent actions of the clinic employee, if accurate, are alarming," Tucker Martin wrote in an e-mail to The Associated Press. Planned Parenthood Fed- eration of America defended the Richmond clinic staff member for her professionalism in deal- ing with "a highly unusual person posing as a patient." After the visit the staff member notified her supervisor, who alert- ed Planned Parenthood's national security team, the federation said in a statement. The organization said it is working with the FBI on the clinic visits. The Richmond visit was one of four reported in Virginia, Planned Parenthood said. The Richmond film record- ed Jan. 12 is similar to a video taken by Live Action on Jan. 13 at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Perth Amboy, N.J. Following release of the New Jersey videotape, Planned Par- enthood said it also had promptly notified law enforcement authori- ties after the visit, but fired the clinic employee for violating some of the organization's policies. In the Richmond video, a clinic worker talks primarily with the man while the woman apparently secretly videotapes the counsel- ing. They talk about access to abortions, birth control and test- ing of sexually transmitted dis- eases for prostitutes described as 14 and 15 and either from out of state or another country. At one point, the clinic work- er discusses an abortion for an underage girl using what she calls a "judicial bypass" so the procedure can be done confi- dentially and without a legal guardian. The worker advises the pair an abortion can be cloaked from a parent and adds, "We're pretty good at handling if someone doesn't want someone else to know." Live Action's president, Lila Rose, said the videos illustrate Planned Parenthood's willing- ness to "circumvent parental consent laws for secret abor- tions." National anti-abortion groups have used the earlier released video to intensify their calls for federal legisla- tion to cut off the more than $350 million in annual fed- eral family planning fund that Planned Parenthood receives. Rep. Mike Pence, R-Ind., has introduced the legislation. In Virginia, anti-abortion activists and social conserva- tives said the videos illustrate what they said is Planned Par- enthood's disregard of laws intended to regulate abortion.

In a much-needed victory for the embattled leader, parlia- ment rejected the prosecution requests in a 315-298 vote that came after a four-hour debate in the lower house. They sent the case back to the prosecutors, challenging their jurisdiction. The premier has denied wrong- doing. Milan prosecutors allege that Berlusconi paid for sex with a minor and then used his office to cover it up. They wanted to search the offices of a Berlusconi accountant, Giuseppe Spinelli, who allegedly handled payments on behalf of the premier to the A minor as well as other payments to a number of young women who attended parties at his vil- las. The vote will likely have lim- ited impact on the investigation. Magistrates are planning to go ahead with their probe and are expected to issue a request to indict Berlusconi as early as next week. But yesterday's vote was a significant victory in a test of Berlusconi's grip on parliament. The premier's once comfortable parliamentary majority became shaky after he fell out with an ally last year, and he barely sur- vived a pair of confidence votes in December. "The vote assures the majority that it still has the numbers to go ahead, however narrowly," said Francesco Verderami, a political analyst for Corriere della Sera. "As far as the judicial battle is concerned, nothing changes," he said. "Politically it is step for- ward for Berlusconi." Making the vote even more sensitive, Berlusconi had already suffered a setback earlier yes- terday when a parliamentary commission deadlocked a gov- ernment plan to grant Italy's towns and cities a greater role in taxation. Enacting sweeping reforms to grant more powers to local gov- ernments and more autonomy from Rome is the top priority of the Northern League, a crucial Berlusconi ally, and any delay or failure to pass the measure might affect the government's stability. In a move aimed at sidestepping the parliamentary setback and appeasing the League, Berlus- coni held an emergency Cabinet meeting late yesterday to push ahead with some of the same measures by way of government decree. Berlusconi, 74, has rejected calls for his resignation in the wake of the sex scandal, which has come to be known in Italy as "Ruby-gate," in reference to the nickname of the Moroccan teenager at the center of the probe. The scandal has proven an embarrassment for Italy, with newspapers describing parties at Berlusconi's villas as baccha- nalia with topless girls dancing around. 1
