If I recall that scam video correctly, the scene being shown isn't even happening at a Planned Parenthood Clinic -- it's just being made to look at though it was. There's nothing about the edited video that can be believed.

But there is an obvious obsession with this poster in attacking Planned Parenthood.

Planned Parenthood is a Non-Profit organization which is heavily scrutinized all of the time because currently anti-abortion/GOP is in control of our government. If there was any truth to any of this, PP would immediately be shut down -- all of its clinics. That hasn't happened because the video was faked and none of the accusations from the video can be supported.

Again --

The video is a scam - a lie -- and taken from 15 hours of video which was then edited to seem to make people say things that the scammers want them to say.

Planned Parenthood is non-profit -- legally it is not permitted to charges fees that would create a profit.

Additionally, as for fetal tissue -- it is only donated at the request or approval of the patient/donor. That was approved by the GOP Congress -- Republicans Repeatedly Voted To Use Aborted Fetuses For Scientific Research https://thinkprogress.org/republicans-repeatedly-voted-to-use-aborted-fetuses-for-scientific-research-7481d85d4b82#.aaw79otvv

Selling body parts is ILLEGAL -- if that were found to be true -- Planned Parenthood would have been shut down as would any other business be shut down.

ILLEGAL dealing in organ trafficking is something that everyone is against.

Again -- It is illegal to sell fetal tissue. But donations are legal.
(Approved by GOP Congress, including reasonable fees to cover costs of preserving the tissue.

And, The law allows for "reasonable" fees to cover the group’s costs of donating the tissue. (Experts make clear what PP charged would likely not even cover their expenses.)

It is actually birth control and clinics which provide this assistance to females -- especially poorer families -- which is under attack. As we have always seen, control of women and their bodies has always been a political issue. Let's not go back to the "witch hunts."

Where does the footage come from? Do you know?

And there is also this --

The Producer Of The Planned Parenthood Videos Admits That They Are A Fraud

**Blowing up the Republican Party’s scheme to destroy Planned Parenthood, David Daleiden admitted that his videos are a fraud during an interview on CNN.

The admission came when Daleiden was questioned by Chris Cuomo about Carly Fiorina’s numerous deceptive comments about Planned Parenthood, during CNN’s Republican Candidates Debate. Courtesy of Raw Story: **

He's never admitted it's a fraud. I know the editor of Raw Story personally and he's a liberal hack who will literally say anything.

He not only admitted it -- he has a history of it --

For Republicans, Daleiden was the perfect choice to produce and doctor the video attack on Planned Parenthood. He has ties to Operation Rescue. Interestingly, Planned Parenthood was awarded an $880,000 judgment in 1999 because of Operation Rescue’s harassment and intimidation of PP’s staff. ** **Operation Rescue is where Daleiden developed his “skills” of deception. He carried out “sting” operations to gather information on abortion providers and, at times, their patients so that Operation Rescue could harass them at their homes and workplaces or make their clinics expensive to operate.

Based on the interview with CNN, he is less competent at deception when he’s asked questions

For Republicans, letting Daleiden speak meant the truth might slip out. Daleiden might admit that in the 43 edits he took quotes out of context and falsely attributed quotes to Planned Parenthood employees. He might remind people that the “full version” of the video is just a less edited version.

Daleiden’s organization Center for Medical Progress is part of a network of anti-choice groups.

Let me also remind you this is a fake Medical company he created.

Anti choice is my point of view. I've watched the videos, and you're missing the point because you obviously are a Planned Parenthood sympathizer or a paid disinfo shill. Nobody who is against murdering babies agrees with you. If you think editing is the reason they said they wanted to make arrangements on price, you're stupid.

The majority of Americans support CHOICE and birth control -- are they all trolls? ROFL

And they support Planned Parenthood and government funding of it. Numbers are probably even higher today. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2015/09/29/poll-2-1-funding-planned-parenthood-supported/73016440/

In fact, even Catholics support abortion, birth control, and the numbers are very high -- 74% and more -- at times higher. When Latinos/Latina Catholics are added in the numbers are even higher -- !!

-- and all the way specifically to CHOICE for any reason -- at about 51%.

Are they also "paid disinfo shills"?

It is the right wing which has to pay trolls and disinfo shills -- See: Brock and Correct the Record spending $40 million now on sending trolls and disinfo shills onto the internet?

And, that's after the right wing fascists have already worked for decades and centuries to control a free press here. See: Operation Mockingbird - scroll down to "History" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Mockingbird

Catholic women have as many abortions as any other women -- and this is true around the world! Are they all shills and trolls?
