Rep blasts Planned Parenthood taxpayer $$, as forensic study says videos not doctored
Fox News ^ | 09/29/2015

Posted on 09/29/2015 7:35:00 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

A top House Republican, in emotional and heated remarks at the start of a high-profile Hill hearing Tuesday, excoriated Planned Parenthood for its "insatiable" desire for taxpayer dollars -- while also brushing off claims a series of disturbing videos showing the group's employees discussing fetal tissue harvesting were doctored.

Ahead of the hearing, a forensic analysis said the videos "are authentic and show no evidence of manipulation or editing."

Jason Chaffetz, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, also brushed off claims of doctoring but focused squarely on the issue of taxpayer funding.

"Their desire for more of taxpayer dollars is just insatiable," Chaffetz, R-Utah, said.

Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards plans to defend her organization at the hearing, and, according to prepared testimony, claim the videos were "doctored" in a way to "smear Planned Parenthood."

But the results of the forensic analysis, conducted for the anti-abortion group Center for Medical Progress, were released shortly before the hearing. The Alliance Defending Freedom engaged cybersecurity and forensic analysis company Coalfire Systems to examine the 10 "full-footage videos" put out by CMP.

According to their review, the videos were not manipulated. The report said any missing footage was of "non-pertinent" events like meals and bathroom breaks.

"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 in a statement.

So...this pretty much proves that Nancy Pelosi is a confused, bloviating, obfuscating, blathering old moron. So what else is new?

When Democrats and progressives say “doctored” what they are really saying is that “yeah, it may be the truth here, but the importance of PP and their advocacy and support of liberal politicians (butchery aside) is what is really important here.”

That’s what they mean. It’s how they roll.

Setting aside the fact that murdering babies and selling their body parts is going on ...

PP is one big, giant slush fund for political donations.

Congress gives them money and PP gives it back to them in the form of donations during election years.

That is $500,000,000.00 for future campaign activity.

That is one huge lotto winning.

What law is it that they are abusing there? Quid Pro Quo? Is that a law?

They as a collective are so far in advance of the evil that populated Sodom or Gomorrah I have often wondered by the angels haven’t rained down hellfire yet.

Why is it that the professed "Pro Choice" people are only in support of ONE choice? Abortion or nothing. They aren't Pro Choice. They are pro abortion. Pro Life people are pro choice for the most part. But they want there to BE a real choice.

you are correct

as a public health nurse she claimed the without the ability to have abortions after I thought she said 12 weeks there would be bad problems

when talking of choice she was speaking directly to favoring abortion
