WASHINGTON, D.C., September 29, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) - The undercover videos of Planned Parenthood shot by the Center for Medical Progress are authentic and unaltered, according to a forensics report released this morning.
Every second of video footage recorded by CMP was given to Coalfire, a forensics firm that does analysis for criminal investigations.
"The video recordings are authentic and show no evidence of manipulation or editing," Coalfire said in its comprehensive, 14-page report. "This conclusion is supported by the consistency of the video file date and time stamps, the video timecode, as well as the folder and file naming scheme. The uniformity between the footage from the cameras from the two investigators also support the evidence that the video recordings are authentic."
Any edits made to online footage uploaded to YouTube was done only to "eliminate non-pertinent footage, including 'commuting,' 'waiting,' 'adjusting recording equipment,' 'meals,' or 'restroom breaks.'"
All the footage removed was "lacking pertinent conversation," Coalfire concluded in the report, requested by the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF).
"The Coalfire report had access to every second of released audio and video investigative footage recorded by CMP and analyzed that footage to verify and authenticate all of the videos on the CMP YouTube page," the ADF noted.
That report contrasts sharply with the tone of an earlier report paid for by Planned Parenthood, and produced by Fusion GPS, a D.C.-based opposition research firm linked to the Democratic Party. Its founder, Glenn Simpson, was once a lobbyist for a sheikh who approved of the burning of the U.S. flag during wartime. The Wall Street Journal referred to Fusion as "Mr. Simpson's chop shop."
Fusion also acknowledged the edits "removed likely irrelevant content" from the videos, and that it found no intention to deceive. However, the Planned Parenthood-funded report said the CMP videos have "no evidentiary value" and "lack credibility as journalistic products."
"The Coalfire forensic analysis removes any doubt that the full length undercover videos released by Center for Medical Progress are authentic and have not been manipulated," ADF Senior Counsel Casey Mattox said. "Analysts scrutinized every second of video recorded during the investigation and released by CMP to date and found only bathroom breaks and other non-pertinent footage had been removed."
For instance, Coalfire logged a one-minute-long restroom break in one video. Another gap lasted a mere four seconds.
Other breaks include footage of the investigators' commute, as the camera pointed out the window at the clouds.
"Planned Parenthood can no longer hide behind a smokescreen of false accusations and should now answer for what appear to be the very real crimes revealed by the CMP investigation," Mattox said.
The report arrives as Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards is testifying before Congress in an investigation into the claims recorded on those tapes: that Planned Parenthood alters its abortion method, may use an illegal partial birth abortion procedure, and illegally profits from the sale of fetal organs.
It also comes as Congress determines whether depriving Planned Parenthood of its $500 million-plus annual taxpayer subsidy is worth a showdown with Barack Obama and a possible, partial government shutdown next month.
Pro-life advocates say whatever tactic is used, the abortion industry in general - and Planned Parenthood in particular - must be defunded in their entirety.
“American taxpayer money should be redirected to fund local community health centers and not subsidize a scandal-ridden, billion-dollar abortion business. Planned Parenthood is an organization that cares about one thing: making a profit at the expense of women’s health. The investigative videos, whose authenticity was confirmed by the report, show that Planned Parenthood is an abortion-machine whose top executives and doctors haggle and joke about the harvesting and selling of baby body parts,” said ADF Legal Communications Director Kerri Kupec. "Women deserve far better."
Young teenage girls have babies while at high school dances, and they leave them in a trash can. the girls are punished. if they had just gone to PP, they wouldn’t have been punished.
Abortion is the sacrament of the liberal democrat party. Plus Satanists show up as counter protesters when there are pro life protesters at PP protests. the satanists support the PP and abortion.
Just like in the Old Testament....
Any allowance for any restrictions on abortions
would undeniably point out that abortion is wrong to some extent,
which inexorably leads to the conclusion that these people have been condoning infanticide.
They can’t allow ANY steps in that direction.
That is all they can claim. They can't say that the people in the video are not really one of theirs merely mouthing words with somebody else's voice attached.
They are hoping that if they just buckle down and weather this storm they will be all right.
But that ain't gonna happen. The exposure of them carving up little babies will erode any effort they try to do in order to make it all disappear.
They are asking for what most people imagine is a yuge lotto win, money intended for them to pay back to the politicians for their campaigns.
The cat is out of the bag and it may seem like the media is purposely being silent about it, but this will not end well for PP.
I saw a van someplace in California, don’t remember where, that had photos of actual aborted babies all over it. Gruesome. But it makes an impact on everyone seeing it. Buckets of bloody tiny babies.
The point here is not about the video, it is about what is going on that is horrific and that it is laughable to those who work for PP.
With no video and only the audio, (damning) where one hears the carefree attitude about the Killing and harvesting of baby parts, the case is solid indeed. PP throws a “hail Mary” in an attempt to discredit the video and, sorry, it falls incomplete!
I heard, on Glenn Beck Radio, a female, former employee of PP who said “the word baby was never used in reference to the murdered babies. ‘POC’ was used, meaning Product of Conception. Also used was the number ‘2229’ the word baby spelled out on an alphanumeric (phone) pad.” She admitted to having two abortions, an employee job perk!
Sickening stuff this is and it should not have one cent of taxpayer funding. Next is to change the law.
Sickening
In the following quotation, replace State with Media (although it is one and the same) and old Joe would have been right.
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”—— Joseph Goebbels
We are RIGHT on the issues but FAILING in everything else. SICKENING!
I HATE our WEAKLINGS.
Even that idiot Eric Bolling, who SUPPOSDLY attends Mass every day said the same thing!!!
Agree. Yell on, sister.
Dan Rather.
Sorry, but for decades, I have seen my once Beloved USA slipping into the abyss, NEVER to be a Good and Decent place anymore......and the more I read and see and hear, the WORSE it gets, and I DETEST the people that have done this and I can’t help but SCREAM....and now I want to SCRAM!!.....but where to....we were the last best hope......I am only glad that we are old and have no children to leave this mess to.
You answered your own question.

BFL
Unlike NBC's George Zimmerman tape.
Today at the hearings the Democrats and the Planned Butcherhood CEO were pounding the tables about how much had been edited and altered.
Who to believe, who to believe...?
[[The lib talking heads are still going on cable every day and saying the videos are completely fake, untrue, none of this ever happened, etc.]]
Sick, isn’t it? But perhaps what’s even sicker is that the GOP are NOT stopping the left wing media I ntheir tracks by coming out with a strong condemnation of ANY MSM who continues to claim the videos are fake despite the FACT that they are not!
Our side has allowed the left to get to a point hwere they can lie with impunity- never beign held accountable for it, and the problem is that the lies ALWAYS make the right out to be the bad guy- and the right NEVER defends themselves and so the public is left thinking the l eft is the only ones telling the ‘truth’
But, but, the news told me these videos are heavily edited! And that some tissue was used for research!
Separate subject, some hearts and minds can’t be reached: those who believe that these babies at least “did good” by helping others with their body parts, like if a teen died and his parents donated some of his organs to help someone else survive.
When this nation lies in ruin and her people stand before a righteous God, that’s not going to help much. The blood of the innocent cries out for justice and will be repaid in full. Even so, come Lord Jesus!
Who was it, Pelosi or Boxer, that almost swore that the Vids were faked?!? (Think it was miss Botox)..
Get this to the local media (along with the denial).. :p
