Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina won applause in Wednesdays debate for her vivid description of a live fetus she said was shown in an undercover video about Planned Parenthood Federation of America.
But the image she described isnt in the video. Instead, the video taken by an antiabortion group depicted a former employee of a tissue procurement company stating what she says she saw at a Planned Parenthood clinic. There was never any video that depicted, as Ms. Fiorina stated, a live fetus on a table.

I’m not one to say ‘toljaso’
Title of this thread: Wall Street Journal: At Debate, Carly Fiorina Described Scenes Not in Abortion Videos
This is the first time I have watched this video in it’s entirety. I am emotionally drained.
If our system of government, laws and justice can not stop this carnage, IMMEDIATELY, and bring those responsible to justice, we are no longer deserving of what was once a great country.
This is what has your Concern Troll Meter redlining...
As regards Planned Parenthood, anyone who has watched this videotape, I dare Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama to watch these tapes. Watch a fully formed fetus on the table, it's heart beating, it's legs kicking while someone says we have to keep it alive to harvest its brain.
I take it you wish Carly had never broached the subject and wished she had never challenged Hillary and Obama to watch the videos.
Geez, what is wrong with you? She brought a vital issue to the table, and all you can do is nitpick.
Fiorina is pro-choice.
Did then Wall Street Journal post a link to the video for all to see?
If so then we can all thank God that she misspoke. Now the MSM will be paying attention to what actually is in the video. Her inaccurate description does not do justice to the barbarity and evil that goes on behind the tax supported doors of Planned Genocide.
Let’s see if any news channels show the scene where the girl talked about cutting through the face of that living child to harvrest its brain and then see if anyone cares that the baby shown was not really the one she butchered.
Hope you’re right, but I think the media will bury the actual videos but report Fiorina’s misleading comments about what they show. The effect will be as with Trump’s ‘face’ comment about Fiorina. Trump was commenting on a ‘look’ she had on an interview when asked about Trump’s momentum. He calls it ‘persona’, but they even make fun of that without showing the context.
Trump will have to spend money to straighten it out, and I don’t think he considers it important enough to do so.
Cruz, on the other hand, gets buried by zero coverage. They want to force him to spend money, too, to set the record straight, but he doesn’t want to spend yet, either.
The claim the left has used for these videos is that people are making things up.
Carly should have watched before opening her trap.
It will help the bad guys discredit the videos.
I’ve seen photos that depicted exactly what Fiorina was talking about. If they weren’t in those specific videos, it doesn’t matter that much - what she described is a reality. As for the videos, the left has poo-pooed what WAS in the videos!
Actually. All it takes to hurt a cause is a falsity for political gain.
Yes it does hurt because now they will claim it was all made up for political reasons.
Carly Fiorina has a problem getting her facts straight. She wanted to make a big show and she got attention, but it will hurt those who have worked hard presenting an honest presentation.
Maybe her heart is in the right place, I can’t say. I wonder if she will also support Ted Cruz in his desire to defund Planned parenthood right now?
Is Carly going to go out on that limb?
Probabaly just a person who doesn’t have a crush on the GOP establishment.
Now when have any of those clowns ever gave a crap about abortion except at election time?
Check your Freep-mail.
That bothered me too.
Perhaps.
That is what the Left did in 2008 when inconvenient truths about Obama's muslim background made the rounds.
They were augmented with some incorrect details (actually about Keith Ellison and others).
Obama's own "Fight the smears" site claimed erroneously that he was a lifelong Christian. Even he acknowledged that he came to Jesus later in life (decades in).
whatever happened to the fight the smears site anyway?
I wonder if anyone ever complained about the Panther Whizz Ads??
Oh! Yesterday during debate she brought up the issue about live aborted babies being harvested for body parts by planned parenthood. Gave me the impression she was pro-life.
Thanks for straightening me out.
Fiorini needs to stick to the facts and not embellish. They’re bad enough without her providing a talking point to Mort Kondrack on Bret Baier last night. Every lib that now mentions this says that she was misleading.
A re-ping. Thanks maggief.
