When former crime reporter Jackie Walorski saw a pair of undercover videos shot in Indiana Planned Parenthood clinics, four reasons for outrage fell like dominoes in her mind:

The videos, shot by Live Action Films, an investigative student pro-life group, appear to show Planned Parenthood employees brushing off a girl's allegations of child rape.

Two employees appear to coach "Brianna," who said she was 13 and pregnant by a 31-year-old man—a situation that could only result from sexual contact that is a felony in Indiana—on how to keep the rapes secret.

The same two employees provided Brianna with a printout they had at the ready, showing out-of-state clinics where the girl could bypass Indiana's parental notification law and get an abortion.
