O'Keefe's targeting Planned Parenthood for selling aborted body parts.

Argh ...

Just saw one of his tweets about a video catching Planned Parenthood selling aborted body parts.

I wish I could paste the Twitter here for you to see, but I did Google it, and I saw that only the right wing is reporting this shit.

I'm on my cell phone and my it's difficult to copy/paste links. I'm hoping someone here can check out this asshole's lying lies. Thanks.

Argh ....

and would be very difficult to differentiate from the other blood and guts in the vacutainer.

O'Keefe is an ignorant little pimple on the ass of humanity. Of course he's lying.

He lacks the mental capacity to do anything else.

What the rest of the Fetusphere is hyperventilating about is still the "partial birth abortion," something the medically ignorant bible bangers outlawed many years ago to the detriment of maternal health. Apparently, they think the fetus is immediately dismembered and its little feet and hands are sold on the black market to collectors.

At least that's the impression they're trying to give, using outdated data to connect dots that never had a connection in fact.

ETA: The highly edited video still showed that the doctor was speaking hypothetically, that such things are not happening in fact. Chances are that fetal organs might be usable for transplant into viable but desperately ill babies if the D&X procedure had not been banned. But it was.

Not even Fox News is buying this. Hell, not even Fox Nation is buying this.

It's a clear hack job.

If you look at the start of the 20/20 vid that shows a date of March 2000. It's another edited lie to get the low info mouth breathers all worked up.

Squirmin' Herman Cain got all kinds of knee jerk reactions on his fb page.

Statement from Eric Ferrero, Vice President of Communications, Planned Parenthood Federation of America:

“In health care, patients sometimes want to donate tissue to scientific research that can help lead to medical breakthroughs, such as treatments and cures for serious diseases. Women at Planned Parenthood who have abortions are no different. At several of our health centers, we help patients who want to donate tissue for scientific research, and we do this just like every other high-quality health care provider does -- with full, appropriate consent from patients and under the highest ethical and legal standards. There is no financial benefit for tissue donation for either the patient or for Planned Parenthood. In some instances, actual costs, such as the cost to transport tissue to leading research centers, are reimbursed, which is standard across the medical field.

“A well funded group established for the purpose of damaging Planned Parenthood’s mission and services has promoted a heavily edited, secretly recorded videotape that falsely portrays Planned Parenthood’s participation in tissue donation programs that support lifesaving scientific research. Similar false accusations have been put forth by opponents of abortion services for decades. These groups have been widely discredited and their claims fall apart on closer examination, just as they do in this case.”

My daughter suffered fetal distress and died 2 days after birth. Though it was a painful and difficult decision, my husband & I donated her body to science. To help other mothers and their babies.

I've never regretted that decision. It helped give our aching hearts a little comfort.

Abortion is never easy, but I can imagine a woman might find comfort the same way I did.

Shame on those who exploit this.

I just read through the tweets and those people are actually sick

Oh and the Snopes article is not enough for them either. It's bits and pieces of a video that they edited.

O'Keefe is not a journalist and his only trick is to do fake videos that are heavily edited and distorted.
