Live Action, said it depicted a clinic employee offering to help cover up a sex ring so that its prostitutes could receive health services. Planned Parenthood said it had promptly notified law enforcement authorities after the visit, but it also said it was investigating whether the clinic employee in the video may have violated some of the organization's policies.

Planned Parenthood had proactively revealed the broad outlines of the new undercover operation last week, reporting that at least 12 of its clinics across the country had been visited by men claiming to be sex-traffickers.

On Tuesday, Live Action released a video that it said was taken Jan. 13 at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Perth Amboy, N.J.

Rose, 22, began infiltrating abortion clinics as a college student in 2006.

After forming Live Action, she gained prominence with a series of undercover videos in which she posed as a girl in her early teens who had been impregnated by an older man. The aim was to portray Planned Parenthood staff as willing to ignore laws that required the reporting of cases of suspected statutory rape.

The video release coincided with debate in New Jersey over Republican Gov. Chris Christie's decision to cut $7.5 million from this year's budget for clinics specializing in women's reproductive health.

Planned Parenthood, a frequent target of protest campaigns, operates more than 800 health centers across the country offering a range of health and family planning services to about 3 million patients a year. The centers accounted for 324,008 abortions in 2008, about one-fourth of the national total.

In detailing the series of clinic visits, Planned Parenthood spokesman Stuart Schear last week assailed the undercover tactics.
