Planned Parenthood Cleared in Fetal Tissue Investigation

[Carla_Danger]

It's a fraud, Doofus.

You're still lying. The video is legit. Those aren't actors and they will soon be in jail.

Educate yourself.

Abortion rights groups have suggested that Daleiden needed a new company to issue his videos, since the work of Live Action has been discredited. He appears to have created a sham business called Biomax Procurement Services as a cover, so he and colleagues (and occasionally paid actors) could pose as buyers of fetal tissue, secretly recording the Planned Parenthood officials during meetings. The Center for Medical Progress was created in 2013, and its only focus seems to be the recent videos.

Despite massive media coverage and a rush by Republicans to investigate, Daleiden's videos so far contain no evidence that Planned Parenthood has done anything illegal.

A 1993 law says clinics can't profit when women donate fetal tissue, and in the first video Planned Parenthood official Deborah Nucatola says repeatedly that the group does not. It is, however, standard practice for clinics to be compensated for staff time, resources, and transportation involved in providing tissue, which is what Planned Parenthood says Nucatola is seen discussing. Experts say such donations are crucial for medical research.

. You ghouls just don't get the outrage, do you? The public hates the idea of donating tissue from murdered babies. Who give a shit if the film crew was fake buyers. It's a sting and is a perfectly valid way to bring this disgusting practice of killing babies and selling body parts to the public. This secret practice is now out in the open and the optics don't look good for your side. The public doesn't want our tax money going to this organization.

This has been going on since the 1930's. Whether you like it or not, medical research saves lives. Women have abortions, they have since before it was legal. They will continue to have abortions even if the practice is made illegal. I would prefer for women to have a safe option, instead of back-alley abortions.

Abortion is messy business, and it's not a pretty reality. You believe abortion is murder, I do not. The fetus not viable outside the womb before 20 weeks.

You appear to be an emotional train wreck with all of your concern going towards the fetus, whereas my main concern is for taking care of viable babies who you are trying to force into this world, by some woman who does not want or need a baby to take care of. We already see how the social right wants to cut SNAP benefits which was created to help feed these unwanted babies.

I hear the right complain that birth control is readily available to all, and how these young teens/women should have been more responsible. If these teens/women are so irresponsible, why would you trust them to raise a baby?

There was a thread started on a program that decreased teen pregnancy/abortions by 40%, however it's expensive ($900). They are getting ready to lose their funding. It seems to me that this program would be a win win for everyone. If you're so concerned, why don't you fight for these programs the help decrease abortion and unwanted pregnancies?

You're correct as well. If an organization has the official support of the government, and a group begins releasing what it claims to be evidence of that organization's wrongdoing, then the obvious position to take is that this group needs to be stopped from releasing the rest of its evidence by court order as soon as possible, the initial third of the claimed evidence needs to be thrown out on the basis that the organization considers it fraudulent, and the group needs to be immediately prosecuted for the misrepresentation of the organization in its evidence. That's just the proper, enlightened, American way of doing things.

Here's the thing... YOu guys really didn't present "evidence of wrongdoing".

You presented doctored tapes after eliciting things that don't sound nice, but don't really prove any crimes were committed.

It is against the law to tape people without their permission or knowledge.

It is against the law to file a tax claim that you are a charity when you are in fact a political advocacy group.

It is against the law to create a fake company.

It is against the law to represent yourself as something you aren't.
