Planned Parenthood Begs Media: Stop Covering Our Scandal
townhall.com ^ | Guy Benson | Jul 29, 2015

Posted on 07/29/2015 7:10:51 PM PDT by Morgana

Planned Parenthood is in real trouble. Three shocking videos released over recent days -- with more on the way, apparently -- have shown officials at the abortion giant haggling over the price of aborted baby organs. It's ghastly, gruesome stuff, replete with one representative describing how she alters her late term abortion procedures to "crush" the baby in specific areas as to preserve sought-after and lucrative body parts. Another laughs that higher prices could help her buy "a Lamborghini." The abortion lobby argues that fetuses are not human beings worthy of legal protection, while selling the intact human organs of the "non-people" they kill. Besieged by negative headlines and a horrified public, Planned Parenthood has hired a crisis PR firm, which is attempting to mitigate the damage via the application of heavy pressure on media outlets (many of which are dominated by abortion supporters) to to ignore or soft-pedal the story:

How bad is the baby organ trafficking story for Planned Parenthood? So bad that the nation’s largest abortion provider has hired a pricey PR firm to bully media outlets into not covering the scandal. According to Politico, Planned Parenthood hired Democratic megafirm SKDKnickerbocker to handle its public relations effort surrounding the widening organ trafficking scandal. In a series of undercover videos released by the Center for Medical Progress, multiple top Planned Parenthood executives are captured haggling over the prices of aborted baby body parts and discussing ways to maximize money earned through the harvesting and sale of human organs. Unsurprisingly, preventing coverage of the videos is apparently key to Planned Parenthood’s survival strategy: "The group circulated a memo to reporters and producers late Monday that discouraged them from airing the undercover videos, arguing that they were obtained under false identification and violated patient privacy."

Ah we finally find a kind of profit that liberals are fully in support of.

And look what the activity is that generates this morally acceptable profit.

That's my question.......I don't know.

Seems like they are trying to say that lump of cells is a dead no named BABY and needs it's privacy....

They sure are painting themselves into a corner with their double speaking it seems to me.

Don’t worry, they’re not. The big three has given more coverage to Cecil the lion already.

PP is getting their tail kicked over this, they are getting bad publicity (YAY!) and I’m sure their clientele is going elsewhere.

With a number of hardcore Sarah Palin fans, here is a recent tweet she sent out with the “Rebel Flag”, check it out:

One of the SKD VP’s
http://www.skdknick.com/staff/abigail-gardner/
“”Abigail Gardner’s significant media relations experience is put to work for SKDKnickerbocker’s corporate, nonprofit and political clients, including San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro, Rep. Joaquin Castro and Sandra Fluke. Her strategic insights have played an integral role in product launches and issue, crisis communications and profile-raising campaigns.

Prior to joining SKDK, Abigail participated in various statewide and federal political campaigns. In 2008, Abigail was press secretary for Rep. Dan Maffei’s congressional campaign and later served as his communications director on Capitol Hill. She also served as a press aide for Gov. Eliot Spitzer.

Abigail graduated from the University of Virginia and is a native of Pittsburgh.””

(how about that? full circle, Fluke & Spitzer, neat little packages)

It sounds like the heat is starting to get to the baby killing, Nazi butchers. That’s a good thing.

It seems like states with Republican administrations are moving to investigate PP, while states with Democrat administrations are moving to investigate the whistle blowers.

Top 5 Pointless Congressional Hearings on Baseball (Video at link)
http://reason.com/reasontv/2015/04/06/congress-wastes-time-talking-about-sport

Congress has no authority over Major League Baseball, but that hasn’t stopped them from holding dozens of hearings on the national pastime over the years. Federal legislators have relished the opportunity to show off their populist appeal in front of national TV cameras by talking “inside baseball” jargon, acting as moral scolds, and generally probing in places they don’t belong.

To celebrate Opening Day of the 2015 MLB season, Reason TV presents the Top 5 Pointless Congressional Hearings on Baseball!

Featuring Rafael Palmeiro’s infamous fingerwag, George Will’s defense of socialism in baseball, Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE) threatening to “hold hearings on all sports,” a totally TMI investigation of Roger Clemens’ bloody dress pants, Sen. Howell Heflin’s (D-AL) concern about the rising costs of “basekaball” tickets, and Gov. Jesse Ventura’s (I-MN) shocking star turn as the voice of sober and rational government.

About 5 minutes.

Produced by Anthony L. Fisher.
