Media Deny Reality of Abortion Videos They Have Made a Point of Ignoring

Posted on | September 18, 2015 | 25 Comments

During the Republican debate Wednesday, Carly Fiorina said:

“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,
its heart beating, its legs kicking, while someone says,
‘We have to keep it alive to harvest its brain.'”

The liberal media have spent months trying to ignore the reality depicted by these videos, employing a series of dishonest evasions to excuse the atrocities committed by Planned Parenthood. The videos were edited, blah blah blah, the use of hidden cameras is unethical, blah blah blah. None of these criticisms is actually valid; however much editing was done in the 10 YouTube clips released since July, the producers have also released the unedited footage, so that anyone can judge the accuracy of the presentation; and the use of hidden cameras by investigative reporters has been a common practice for decades.

Whatever elaborate excuses Planned Parenthood’s media apologists may attempt, they cannot explain away the abominable reality of what Planned Parenthood actually does: Kill babies, and harvest their bodies as commodities in the “fetal tissue” market.

So-called “fact-checkers” in the media are now engaged in more pro-abortion spin, nitpicking Carly Fiorina’s debate quote:

In the video, the Center for Medical Progress [CMP] interviews a woman identified as Holly O’Donnell, a former procurement technician for StemExpress. . . .
O’Donnell talks about a time when she saw a fully-formed aborted fetus, with its heart still beating, in a pathology lab at a California Planned Parenthood clinic while she was on a job.
“I’m sitting here looking at this fetus, and its heart is beating, and I don’t know what to think,” O’Donnell said. According to O’Donnell, her supervisor then told her they would procure the brain because the fetus was well-preserved.
The Center for Medical Progress video does not show actually show footage of O’Donnell’s experience, and there’s nothing else in the video to corroborate O’Donnell’s story. Additionally, the supervisor in O’Donnell’s story does not say anything about keeping the fetus alive specifically for the purpose of harvesting the brain.
To dramatize O’Donnell’s interview, the video cuts to a fetus outside the womb, placed on what appears to be some sort of examination surface, and the fetus’ legs are moving.

In other words, the CMP video does not actually show the specific scene that O’Donnell describes — the video images of the fetus, CMP says, were obtained from the Grantham Collection — but everyone who watches the video understands this, and if Carly Fiorina’s description confused anyone, this does not change the reality of what is involved in chopping up babies to sell them as “fetal tissue.”

The Democrat Party and its media accomplices share a fanatical commitment to abortion — the “sacrament of the Church of Liberalism,” as Ann Coulter famously said — and we see that they will use any excuse to justify abortion. Democrats clearly believe taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood is essential, as a sort of official government seal of approval, and thus are willing to do whatever is necessary to sustain this. Mollie Hemingway notes that, after Wednesday’s debate, “Planned Parenthood and its public relations firm SKDKnickerbocker lobbied journalists to claim that Carly had made up her claims,”  and many in the media have been happy to do Planned Parenthood’s bidding.

Watch the whole 10-minute video and make up your own mind:

The liberal media should be ashamed of themselves, but if they had any sense of shame, they wouldn’t be the liberal media.

    Thanks to Trump, the debates have had huuuuuge ratings. The one candidate who really took advantage of that was Carly Fiorina, on her Planned Parenthood comments.

    “Deny reality.” With those words in the headline, you have perfectly summed up the liberal thought process. They can write all the intellectual articles they want in the Huffington Post, sprinkled throughout with 25 cent words but, in the end, they deny reality.

    No surprise Politifact rates Fiorina comment about the abortion video mostly false (if a fetus is aborted without a video, then Politifact can ignore it)

    The libs won’t care about this issue until they find out that black baby parts sell for less than white baby parts.

    Alas, I cannot take credit for either the CBR or the WrongFacts terms. The former I heard several years ago, the latter I think came from the Sad Puppies.

    Remember, PolitiFarce is the same clown outfit that called a 100 percent true Mitt Romney statement their 2012 Lie Of The Year, while simultaneously calling Obama’s “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor” line of dung Half True.

    I think the problem is that there are too many people who think they know what abortion is and support it because it seems to be the “cool” thing to do. These people would rather accept an assertion that “it’s all made up” than view the videos for themselves and make up their own mind. They are afraid of what they’ll see and that they’ll be forced to leave the “in” group.

    The ability for any person to rationalize what PP are doing is beyond human comprehension. It shows the left for the evil and murderous faction that they are and sure as day follows night the Prince of Darkness has his grubby mitts all over this.

    Liberals doing the Devil’s own work. Why is anyone even surprised at this point. In the last decade alone they have resurrected institutional racial incitement, discrimination, harassment, outright racism, segregation, and managed all those equivalents for men too. That doesn’t include working to destroy the entirety of the Western world and its historic legacy.

    Wanna take bets on whether girl gonads are worth more than boy gonads? I’m gonna guess girls if the eggs are viable; otherwise boys, since circumcision is responsible for a ready market for penile tissue (and vice-versa, since the profit motive prevents doctors from seeing it as Male Genital Mutilation).
