Planned Parenthood Warns Media About Reporting on Videos

By now most of you have heard of or seen one of the three videos that have come out showing Planned Parenthood’s outrageous behavior of selling dead baby body parts.

The organization is so concerned about these videos showing people the truth about their operations they’re now threatening news media.

From Jammie Wearing Fools:

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.

Wow, this is some desperate stuff. By the way, did we mention they’re extremists?

The email from Planned Parenthood is below. From Valley News:

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.

CMP has used footage obtained through deceit and unlawful behavior, including possible violations of state recording laws, federal tax laws and falsified state identification. Then, they concoct wildly false stories through selective editing. 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.

When your network decides whether to consider this story newsworthy, or whether to use any of this footage at all, we urge you to keep this in mind: The extremists who entered Planned Parenthood labs under false pretenses violated research protocol, and, worse, violated the privacy of patients involved. Those patients’ privacy should not be further violated by having this footage shared by the media.

The storage and examination processes that CMP used to get this footage are medically necessary. It is necessary medical professionals ensure an abortion is complete so that patients do not get an infection. When tissue is donated for medical research, these steps are also necessary for the donations to be completed. It is also medically necessary that researchers evaluate the laboratory procedures of a medical provider for safety standards and best practices.

Some of the conversations and protocols that occur in medical settings and among professional peers can sound jarring when taken out of context. While this can be difficult to hear or watch, it should not be used as an excuse to defund Planned Parenthood.

CMP gained access to Planned Parenthood facilities under false pretenses and filmed without securing approval from the Planned Parenthood staff being filmed or the patients whose privacy is compromised by this secret videotaping. The material should not be aired. Planned Parenthood is actually calling the Center for Medical Progress the extremists?

Can you laugh any louder? There has been not one patient identified during any of these videos.

Are they concerned that the dead baby body parts they harvested will be identifiable?

Planned Parenthood, in typical leftist fashion, doesn’t want regular people to know the TRUTH.

The videos make it clear there was a clandestine organ harvesting and selling business. I want the press to follow the money on this one. Where did it go? Who got it? Was it reported or under the table?

Their short drop and quick stop sentence should be televised.

"Short drop and quick stop sentence."

Well worded!

Planned Parenthood can’t have it both ways.

Either the pie plate was full of human parts, which means that someone’s privacy was violated (AND PP might be guilty of a crime),

OR

The pie plate had a mere cluster of cells, which means it was just biological waste and nobody’s privacy was violated (BUT their doctors are incompetent for calling such waste “livers” and “lungs” and “hearts” and other whole body parts).

They are not out of context at all.

They do not expose one iota of info about any woman they did an abortion on.

They are totally scared sh1tless and actually ought to be. This is desperation moves on their part. They cannot defend it.

It must continue to be exposed. They are ghouls and profit six ways from Sunday on every aspect of abortion, including babies born alive/intact and murdering them.

Ghouls. Cannot stand the light of day.

Honestly it’s extremely sad after hard evidence, irrefutable, that there’s even necessary to have a debate, or that anyone listens to their letters. Or that there’d be even a question of dropping funding for them. And starting up criminal investigations and RICO cases against them.

Patient privacy?

Who is the patient?

The aborted baby who they claim was not a person?

Or the body parts and tissue samples they so carefully remove and preserve to sell like hamburger meat and pork chops?

The question “or else what?” needs to be asked by the media more often, apparently.
