Media Matters for America — 3 Deceptive Edits In The Video Claiming Planned Parenthood Is "Selling Aborted Baby Parts"


The rightwing blogosphere is running away with this, and Scott Walker is pushing it now.
A deceptive video from a conservative group purports to show a Planned Parenthood official discussing prices for the illegal sale of fetal tissue from abortions. But the full, unedited footage and transcript released by the group undermines their sensationalist claims, showing at least three crucial edits that reveal the Planned Parenthood official was instead discussing the reimbursement cost for consensual, legal tissue donations.
The Right stops at nothing. The Left plays nice.

Meanwhile the pope is rather concerned about animal rights? LOL!!!!

"Consensual donations" ??????

whose consent? The baby????

"Yeah ...ok ...rip my legs off and pay my baby momma some money!"

If we don't respect human life enough to allow this type of abomination to go on is it no wonder we see all the other dysfunction...

And btw "Greece " pales in comparison to this disgrace...

Well said Matt. After all, what good is the the right to Life, Liberty, & the Pursuit of Happiness if that right doesn't extend to the innocent lives of unborn babies.

That's another issue.

The issue at hand is that abortion is legal in the US at present, regardless of what some would prefer, and the editing of the video was designed to be misleading by misrepresenting the context. In other words, it was a lie.

That's not debate of issues but an attempt to prejudice the debate based on the assumption that the end justifies the means.

Right to life is the Abolitionist Movement of our time.
