Father Frank Pavone, a strong pro-life advocate, called Planned Parenthood a "criminal enterprise" during an interview with Newsmax TV.
Pavone told Thursday's "America Talks Live" the organization commits criminal acts on a daily basis.
"As abortions decline nationwide, with Planned Parenthood there's an increase," said Pavone, the national director of Priests For Life. "No killing should be tolerated.
"It is nothing less than a criminal enterprise. They are, for example, helping minors to avoid the law that those that may have impregnated them need to be subject to, that healthcare facilities need to report suspected statutory rape and child sexual abuse. They are teaching people to skirt those laws . . . and the whole scandal of selling baby body parts. The more you dig, the more you find in this criminal enterprise."

Pavone then challenged Planned Parenthood, a women's health provider whose services include abortions, to answer the question of how do they help people who will become parents.
"What they do is Planned Unparenthood," he said. "It's the biggest abortion business in the country and people need to understand that."
Cecile Richards stepped down as CEO of Planned Parenthood this week after announcing her intention to do so in January.
