6th Planned Parenthood video

And the silence is deafening.
Syllogism: 1) Were right-wing radicals 1/1000 the fierce reactionaries that they're made out to be then there wouldn't be a single Planned Parenthood building left standing in the United States. 2) Planned Parenthood buildings are still standing and their operation continues. 3) Conclusion: right wing radicals are not 1/1000 what they are made out to be.

[6th pp video]

Life News
David Daleiden, the head of The Center for Medical Progress, which has released all of the expose’ videos, told LifeNews: “Experiences like Holly O’Donnell’s show that Planned Parenthood’s abortion and baby parts business is not a safe place where vulnerable women can be cared for, but a harvesting ground for saleable human ‘product.’ Taxpayer subsidies to Planned Parenthood’s barbaric abortion business should be revoked immediately, and law enforcement and other elected officials must act decisively to determine the full extent of Planned Parenthood’s offensive practices and hold them accountable to the law.”

"The video released today shows someone who has never worked for Planned Parenthood making false and outrageous claims, without any evidence to back them up," said Eric Ferrero, Vice President of Communication, Planned Parenthood Federation of America in a statement out Wednesday. "Planned Parenthood follows all laws -- period. This latest video is part of a fraud intended to deceive the public and advance an extreme political agenda, and nothing on this video substantiates false claims from anti-abortion activists."
And,
"We coordinate with clinics and hospitals to obtain human tissue and blood -- specimens that would be otherwise be disposed of -- and provide them to biotechnology and academic institutions performing research to find a cure," said Beau Phillips, spokesman for the group. "The nation's and the world's greatest research facilities need a reliable source of healthy human-derived blood, tissue and cellular specimens to perform their studies. As a point of clarification, StemExpress has never requested nor received an intact fetus." 
Unlike past CMP videos that have made allegations of illegal activity on the part of Planned Parenthood, this latest video instead focuses on O’Donnell’s personal discomfort in being around abortions and abortion patients. While she alleges that she witnessed fetal tissue specimens being collected for StemExpress without patient consent, she offers few specifics or hard proof.  
Furthermore, she notes towards the video’s end that if an emotional patient ever asked her if she herself believed that the woman should have an abortion, O’Donnell would tell them to “run.” 
It is an odd next installment in the on-going series of attacks by the CMP on Planned Parenthood — a video less about alleged scandal, but rather a more “traditional” antiabortionist appeal to protect the so-called “unborn.” 
Their tingly spider senses clue them to coordinated effort.
More so than ever, the CMP videos seem to be a clearly orchestrated effort in coordination with GOP leadership to make abortion — and the defunding of Planned Parenthood of federal grants that support family planning and preventative health services — a prolonged and critical election-season topic.
Drat! We've been discovered.

That's right, mofos.

It's a hit.

Now you know how the garrison at Dachau felt when 7th Army came rolling in.

OH NOES!!! The vast right wing conspiracy to tell women what to do with their bodies!!! But nevermind the new living bodies that grow within them. They are just disposable. The money quote is "to make abortion — and the defunding of Planned Parenthood of federal grants that support family planning and preventative health services — a prolonged and critical election-season topic."

Yes, that is the objective. To put your business of legal, sanctioned murder of in-situ growing human beings, that you use to make money from, out of business. You take from both sides of the trough. If 3% of your services are for abortion that you get from tax payer monies, and from the other end by selling baby body parts or in whole, then for at least the sake of PR and the public good, would you discontinue the collection of that money? I'll wait for your answer.

Also, let's not be dismayed by the coded wording of the supporting family planning and preventative health services. All of which are used to try and get the 'patient' to the abortion table. Planned Parenthood is a fiction. It's sole existence is to exterminate babies. That's it. They have been caught on tape negotiating deals for baby body parts. Fact. Who is going to be indicted? No one since they have the full faith and support of the president himself.

The reaping and sowing is coming. And fast.

Do you think the press would ever ask Dorian Johnson or the Black Lives Matter people the kind of probing and skeptical questions they ask of this group?

Sometimes I don't get this thing.

I copy/pasted into a text document stripping it of all html. Then copy/pasted that into this.

That should make it all the same typeface. Going in naked should change it to default. But it did not.

So, I selected all and changed the typeface to default and it displays now in three different typefaces. It is a vexing problem of disobedience.

And when you do that, remove all the html, then you also remove the line spacing and everything gets crunched together. Anything in quotes, the paragraphs are compressed so they're separated individually manually. And it still looks like a mess.

Extra spacing all over the place that cannot be got rid of even by going into html and removing lines.

It's enough to induce me to edit elsewhere and copy/paste html here instead of dealing with this hybrid CSS / HTML editor with its inherent conflicting commands. It can make a guy go neurotic.

This is the rope-a-dope episode. They lure PP into making claims and denials, and then drop the hammer on them.

Well, duh. It is the smart play, though I doubt the GOPe had anything to do with it. They'll go along taking credit until it affects their bottom line too much and then do nothing other than threaten to do something about PP funding.

And if PP is getting cash from baby parts, why do they need tax dollars to support them?

"The vast right wing conspiracy to tell women what to do with their bodies!!!"

Indeed. Isn't it amusing that when I mention the vast left wing conspiracy to make everyone slaves to government and their healthcare industry cronies I'm called a nutjob extremist. The government can tell you what to do with your body except... for women's reproductive rights. Those are sacrosanct. The holiest of holies. But you know, equality for everyone!
