Bevin Would End Planned Parenthood Funding in Kentucky
The pro-life activist group behind the undercover videos, the Center for Medical Progress, has so far released five secretly recorded tapes.
“Banning federal funding for Planned Parenthood would have a devastating impact on women, men and families-especially those in medically underserved communities and with low incomes -for preventive care, including Pap tests, breast and testicular cancer screenings, birth control, STD testing and treatment, and annual wellness exams”, said the statement from Planned Parenthood Indiana-Kentucky CEO Betty Cockrum.
Harris County District Attorney Devon Anderson said Wednesday her office has begun a criminal investigation into the Houston branch of Planned Parenthood after the release earlier this week of a video showing an agency executive discussing the preservation of organs of aborted fetuses.
However, contrary to this oft-repeated defense, the pro-life group has made all of its raw, unedited footage available online. “I think I know who“. I want to encourage everyone, if you can stomach it, to watch these videos, and even if you are pro-choice, even if you support abortion, ask yourself [while] watching these videos, ‘Are these my values?’ Now, one of the real consequences – Hugh, you’re a very experienced lawyer – these senior Planned Parenthood officials are apparently on film confessing to multiple felonies, it is a federal felony to sell the body parts of unborn children.
This is despite the fact that major media networks refuse to cover the video.
Obama responded Wednesday to critics of the White House’s attempts to broker a nuclear deal with Tehran.
However, it took less than 48 hours for the former secretary of state to change her tone on the videos.
Gov. Rick Scott ordered the inspections last week.
Planned Parenthood’s president, Cecile Richards, has said the group has done nothing illegal and is the target of a political smear campaign.
“I haven’t seen the videos”.
“Context really does matter for these Planned Parenthood videos”. Unfortunately, that time has not yet come; however, I will remain focused on this goal, and I encourage my colleagues to do the same.
Despite multiple mentions on cable networks CNN, the Fox News Channel (FNC), and MSNBC, the “big three” networks reverted back to their old ways of censoring the CMP videos as they did in the case of the third video (plus that of the second video for ABC and NBC).
The measure was prompted by graphic videos, secretly recorded by abortion-rights opponents, that show Planned Parenthood officials describing how they sometimes provide fetal tissue to medical researchers.
