In the recent scandal over the group, ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now), I was struck by several parallels between this group and Planned Parenthood.

For those who know little of the scandal, ACORN was exposed in a series of videos revealing corruption within their organization. In the sting operation, two young people (James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles) enter several ACORN offices under the pretext of setting up a prostitution business for under-aged girls from El Salvador. The workers could not have been more accommodating, not only in how to hide their activities, but ways to keep the money hidden from the government. Prior to this, ACORN was already dealing with an array of court battles due to their alleged illegal voting registration practices that have been under investigation.
