Planned Parenthood Tries To Silence Undercover Videos By Sending Threatening Letters To TV
Truth Revolt ^ | 7/28/15 | Caleb Howe

Posted on 07/28/2015 11:35:54 AM PDT by Nachum

On Tuesday the third undercover video of Planned Parenthood's despicable practices was released by the Center for Medical Progress, but as the blog Jammie Wearing Fools highlights, some people may not see it if PP gets its way:

Planned Parenthood of Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota warned news outlets today that airing undercover videos from the Center for Medical Progress could violate “patient privacy.” Planned Parenthood says the videos violate laws however no wrong doing by the Center for Medical Progress has been proven.

"The material should not be aired," states a press release sent out to the stations. This absurdly transparent attempt at damage control is no surprise. The organization has been engaging in mafia-like strong-arm tactics in their all-out attack-as-defense strategy, including congressional pressure, an Obama Department of Justice investigation. and the same from the California Attorney General's office.

In short, PP is willing to do just about anything to stop people from hearing bad things about it. Well, anything except for not selling baby parts.

Here is the letter from Planned Parenthood, courtesy of Valley News Live. the website for station KVLY in Fargo.

To: North Dakota Health and Political Reporters and Producers From: Jen Aulwes, Planned Parenthood Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota Date: July 27, 2015 Re: Center for Medical Progress Expected to Violate Patient Privacy

The Center for Medical Progress (CMP) is an extreme activist organization whose sole mission is to prevent women from accessing health care and to destroy Planned Parenthood. The board members of this group believe that abortion is “genocide,” and employ people who went to jail for attempting to bomb a women’s health clinic. They are also connected with the man who murdered abortion provider Dr. George Tiller.

Planned Parenthood is selling its patient’s body parts — and their concerned about patient privacy?

My local TV stations are so left-wing, they wouldn’t have run them anyway.

So, these people have no qualms about killing babies and harvesting their organs, so

if they made a threat against me, I’d consider it a death threat and act accordingly.

Funny how the baby murderers do not want people to actually see what is behind their euphemisms. Show people what is actually happening.

The only way this video violates patient privacy is if those limbs and organs came from a patient - a human being - as opposed to just being clumps of cells or medical waste.

Maybe PP should think twice about raising this objection.

RE:”We expect this video will be no different in that regard; however, footage yet to come is expected to represent an extreme violation of patient privacy by including footage of post-abortion fetal tissue neither patients nor health care professionals authorized be filmed.”

Patients ??

The babies they killed didn't give permission to have their ripped apart bodies filmed and aired?

A lot of strong talk with no substance.

RE :”Please contact me at 651-755-9557 or jaulwes@ppmns.org if you have any questions or need any more information.”

there ya go, give them a call.

“Planned Parenthood ... threatening”

Back off PP. You’re dealing with grownups now, not defenseless babies.

I work in the medical field and can tell you that this is BS. Yes, doctors, nurses, hospitals are prohibited by federal law to release medical information on a patient. But the law does not apply to private individuals or groups that are not employed the medical filed.

Sad, but likely true.

Once again, my Sen Ted Cruz is the lone voice (in Congress) calling for an immediate criminal investigation, by the US Dept of JustUs, to be opened on PP.

Shouldn’t it be called Planned Unparenthood (PU)? Nobody that deals with these people becomes a “ parent”.

If televising the videos would violate patient privacy, then discussing it with the undercover investigators would be just as much a violation.

“Planned Parenthood is selling its patient’s body parts — and their concerned about patient privacy.”

Are they referring to the blob of cells? That patient? Or are they referring to the mother of that child that PP is killing?

Rush made the point that this type of undercover news reporting is what used to be done on 60 minutes. Of course, that was with a liberal slant.

The “patient” is dead, so does s/he have any privacy rights? Don’t think so.

Planned Parenthood and “pro-choice” people don’t believe that fetus IS a person, so how can s/he be a patient with any rights whatsoever, especially having already been denied the right to LIFE?

How ironic that they use the term “FOOTage” in their letter. Yes, I did see at least one foot in that pie plate, age undetermined. I’ll never look at pie in the same way again.

These people are sick and morally corrupt. They have the gall to cite laws, when they themselves arguably broke laws, notably the one that states that fees for “tissue” must be related to actual expenses incurred providing the “specimens”. Obviously, when the doctor is trying to maximize “profit”, there’s no relationship at all with actual costs.

They’re simply trying to do anything they can to continue to be not transparent about what really goes on in their abortion mills, because they know that when taxpayers SEE those mutilated babies for themselves, they may rethink providing half a billion dollars a year to these horrible people.
