Planned Parenthood is considering legal action against the pro-life organization that has released a series of secretly recorded videos scrutinizing the health provider’s fetal tissue donation program.
In an exclusive interview with The Hill, Planned Parenthood Executive Vice President Dawn Laguens said she believes the videos are illegal and that her organization is "considering everything" in going after the Center for Medical Progress, the group behind the videos.
"I absolutely do believe that they have violated laws in terms of how they secured these videos," she said in an interview at the group's Washington, D.C., headquarters. "But the fraud is also in how they have presented them and in the editing."
"We are considering everything," she said. "I'm not a lawyer — but everything is on the table when you look at these videos and the fraud and the conspiracy behind it."
She slammed Republicans for threatening to take away the group's $528 million in annual federal funding — and she predicted Planned Parenthood would defeat their conservative critics after this fall's budget battle.
"The Republican presidential candidates are completely out of step with the American people," she said.
Asked point-blank whether the group would still receive federal funds after the fall, she answered confidently: "Yes."
"I certainly believe that [we'll be funded], because I believe the American people are speaking — and our patients, the one-in-five women who rely on Planned Parenthood over their lifetime — are [speaking to lawmakers]," she said.
In the aftermath of the videos, the group's funding has become a flashpoint in the presidential race.
Republicans, including top-tier candidates such as Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), have called for lawmakers to end federal funding for the group.

Typical left wing tactic.
Hope this draws more attention to them then.
They’re digging their own graves.
The last thing PP should want is more publicity for years to come...
Major donors Coca-Cola, Xerox and Ford have all backed out.
Although I think PP is on very shaky ground calling these videos “illegal”, I am glad that they have made it clear that illegal activities (like harvesting organs from babies born alive) should be vigorously prosecuted.
Ooooooooooooohhhhhhh! She’s melting . . the witch is meltinggggggggggggggggg!
Would he still be facing charges of child porn?
Yep.
As well as American Express.
Yeah, they are that stupid. They truly believe people agree with them.
It’s like a bank robber, once caught, argues he was illegaly arrested because the cop jaywalked to stop him.
Bring it on Babykillers the Discovery process will hurt you like an abortion!
I'm surprised she can take enough time out of her busy schedule of slaughtering, dissecting, and cannibalizing helpless children to do the interview.
Good to know.
I’m sure it was illegal to film in the Nazi death camps as well.
Depends.
What state did that happen in?
Like mine which is a “one person consent” state the answer would be no.
I can record our conversation with out your consent as long as I am in that conversation. Now if I just record you and another person, that is illegal.
With Jared it does not matter anyway. He did not know when to keep his big mouth shut. No pun intended.
There has been no evidence that shows videos were wrong....only the left saying they are.
Odd that PP is threatening legal action on the taping of the videos instead of content since they are claiming they are fake.....
Maybe they are spot on.......just saying
Again, aren’t all poor women covered by obamacare?
This is like saying “They have me on video committing murder but the guy who took the video broke the law when he taped me.”
Or
Like Clinton said about lying under oath “They shouldn’t have asked that question.”
Just as Mengele had Goebbles, so does Planned Parenthood have the liberal media...
Karma’s a b*tch, discovery is her evil twin.
The filming took place all over. At the Houston mega PP, I am sure that if there is ever a problem brought up about getting consent Greg Abbott would squash it.
