The top spokesman for President Barack Obama today said there’s essentially no evidence that Planned Parenthood acted unethically by selling the body parts of aborted babies. Ergo, there’s no reason for Congress to de-fund Planned Parenthood.
The comments from White House spokesman Josh Earnest come despite a fourth video showing the abortion giant potentially breaking state and federal laws to sell the body parts of aborted babies.
The Hill has more about Obama’s spokesman’s comments:
White House press secretary Josh Earnest stopped short of issuing a formal veto threat against the legislation, but he said “on balance, the president would not be supportive of such congressional action.”
“This is a tactic we have seen used before,” Earnest said of the GOP legislation. “The president obviously does not support that ongoing effort.”
The spokesman accused Republicans of trying “to play some politics with some selectively edited videos” and said they were released in a “fraudulent way.”
Earnest also said he is not sure if President Obama has seen the videos, but added he is following the story in the news.He had no specific comment on the footage, other than to suggest the footage was selectively edited.Earnest said the” fraudulent way” the videos were released means there is “not a lot of evidence” Planned Parenthood violated their own standards and rules.
Asked how he knows the videos are fraudulent, Earnest said he was relying public statements made by Planned Parenthood.
SIGN THE PETITION! Congress Must De-Fund Planned Parenthood Immediately
Carol Tobias, the president of National Right to Life, disagrees.
“The chirpy nonchalance with which these Planned Parenthood executives talk about dismembering and pricing unborn children is both sickening and deplorable,” she told LifeNews.
After three shocking videos caught Planned Parenthood doctors discussing and arranging the sale of body parts of aborted babies, a fourth video has been released today catching a Planned Parenthood vice president discussing how to break or get around the law to sell aborted babies.
New undercover footage shows Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains’ Vice President and Medical Director, Dr. Savita Ginde, negotiating a fetal body parts deal, agreeing multiple times to illicit pricing per body part harvested, and suggesting ways to avoid legal consequences.
In the video, actors posing as representatives from a human biologics company meet with Ginde at the abortion-clinic headquarters of PPRM in Denver to discuss a potential partnership to harvest fetal organs. When the actors request intact fetal specimens, Ginde reveals that in PPRM’s abortion practice, “Sometimes, if we get, if someone delivers before we get to see them for a procedure, then we are intact.”
SIGN THE PETITION! Congress Must Investigate Planned Parenthood for Selling Aborted Baby Parts
“We’d have to do a little bit of training with the providers or something to make sure that they don’t crush” fetal organs during 2nd trimester abortions, says Ginde, brainstorming ways to ensure the abortion doctors at PPRM provide usable fetal organs.
As LifeNews reported, the first video of undercover footage shows Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s Senior Director of Medical Services, Dr. Deborah Nucatola, describing how Planned Parenthood sells the body parts of aborted unborn children and admitting she uses partial-birth abortions to supply intact body parts.
In the second video, Planned Parenthood doctor Maru Gatter discusses the pricing of aborted baby body parts — telling the biotech company officials that the prices for such things as a baby’s liver, head or heart are negotiable. She also tells the officials that she could talk with the Planned Parenthood abortion practitioners to potentially alter the abortion procedure to kill the baby in a way that would best preserve those body parts after the unborn child is killed in the abortion.
A third video caught Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains’ Vice President and Medical Director, Dr. Savita Ginde, discussing selling aborted baby parts and dissecting aborted babies.
Love the “no evidence” card. So lawyerly. The clintons used that phrase all through their corrupt eight years. The would never answer whether they did something wrong. The answer was always there’s “no evidence” we did something wrong. Or in hildebeast’s case, there was “ya know, no evidence” we did something wrong.
They are scrubbing any incriminating evidence
Until people’s hearts are changed there will be no end to abortion.
In fact, in the case where it is the mother’s life or the unborn baby’s life, I am of the opinion that the mom has the right to decide.
Exactly, but it is effective in one regard as it gives the libtards key words to their marching orders, to tell their family and friends or tell people online, to help spread the word that their was "no evidence" in this story.
Of course we understand they are all FOS, we can only hope more and more Americans see through this evil empire's lies and deceptions.

These abortionists CHANGED MEDICAL PROCEDURE FOR PROFIT.
pick the battle.
The LAW states that the abortion procedure MAY NOT be altered in order to obtain a profit. Planned parenthood ALTERED the abortion procedure in order to (less crunchy) obtain parts for profit by ENDANGERING WOMEN.
The key here is to defund planned parenthood by prohibiting their crunchy abortions. It is not about outlawing abortion it is about holding them to “protect women’s health” as they demand. (what happens later is another issue)
Hell, I pretty much expected them to deny the videos even existed.
Yes, and the Nazis pulled the teeth from the murdered Jews because they were concerned about their dental hygiene.
My daughter faced a life threatening pregnancy. She decided for the baby and both survived and thrived.
The selling of body parts is against federal law. That’s pretty unethical to a normal person, but we’re speaking about this administration.
you don’t need to yell at me about it.
I have no problem with de-funding PP or with DOJ going after them. I think RICO statute would be more than applicable
glad for her and the baby....not all work out that way
and you noted that I said the mom should be the decider
Too bad his mama had him before Roe v Wade. He’s the one exception I’d allow for.
In a culture driven by morality the child’s need to be born is the highest value.
