“Be on your toes, because we are in your midst,” said Father Frank Pavone, the national director of the New York-based group Priests for Life, directing his comments toward Planned Parenthood. “The trouble for you has only just begun.”Reproductve Health Reality Check: Abortion Foes Planning Army of Spies
Pavone announced that the organization Life Dynamics, based in Denton, Texas, which worked with the speciously named Center for Medical Progress to carry out its deceptive smear campaign against Planned Parenthood last year, will begin training activists next month to become spies who will infiltrate abortion clinics throughout the country.
Life Dynamics president and founder Mark Crutcher—who unsuccessfully tried to prove that Planned Parenthood sold fetal tissue in the late 1990s—will personally train groups of no more than 12 people two days a month through December. Life Dynamics’ website says applicants will be screened, lest the infiltrators become the infiltrated.

On their website, Life Dynamics brags that they’re “the established leader in undercover intelligence operations that target the abortion industry.”
