RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — An anti-abortion group has released a secretly recorded video that purports to show a couple posing as a pimp and prostitute receiving abortion and contraceptive counseling for underage sex workers at a Virginia Planned Parenthood clinic.

The group, Live Action, said the video released Thursday illustrates Richmond Planned Parenthood’s “willingness to aid and abet in the sexual exploitation of minors and young woman.”

Live Action said the shaky video and its soundtrack have been given to law enforcement officials.

Planned Parenthood is preparing a response.

The film is similar to a video reportedly taken by Live Action on Jan. 13 at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Perth Amboy, N.J.
