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.

I’m happy to hear about Coke—as I drink several each day……..
Unlike murdering and butchering babies which is barbaric and criminal. It’s too bad #blackbabieslivesdon’tmatter. The commie pigs wouldn’t be around to pull this kind of crap.
This is where the American people need to man up, stand up and tell the so called courts enough is enough. Throw these murdering baby killers out of court on their ghoulish and barbaric commie asses and protect the whistleblowers from these baby butchering freaks.
Just keep it up PP. Keep it up until millions of patriots decide they’ve had enough. At that point you will all need to find a safe place to hide.
Sadly, I don't doubt her.
Why is it illegal to expose such a horrendous illegal activity, such as harvesting organs from alive beings?
Double down on failure.. They cant do anything else.
Ford Foundation. Not Ford autos. Different group of people.
The truth is illegal to these murders....
Very well tested law. PP is bluffing, and probably shopping for support at the DOJ.
PP can sue for libel and slander. Somehow I don’t think they will.
Go to the Center for Medial Progress’s website and you can see the videos in their entirety.
Planned Parenthood will not brook any exposure of their eugenicist practices.
They keep repeating the lie that the videos are heavily edited for damage control hoping most will not bother to watch them. It is an attempt to rewrite their history
Killing babies is legal but filming someone talking about it Is illegal. Welcome to A$$ Backwards World.
Do they really want more publicity? The MSM is doing a good job of spiking the story but a lawsuit might be so easy to keep hiding it.
Yet some hack can record a video at a Romney speech and he’s an effing hero. Got it.
