Planned Parenthood: Right, Wrong or Indifferent?

Here's what I thought of the video content...

    Votes: 7 41.2%
  • Morally corrupt. PP gave bad advice and this office manager should be immediately fired

    Votes: 2 11.8%
  • Questionable. PP did nothing wrong. The office manager should be suspended pending investigation

    Votes: 4 23.5%
  • Nothing Wrong. PP did their job; nothing wrong was done

    Votes: 3 17.6%
  • Joke. PP / office manager should be accomodated for the great work in this video

I'll go out on a limb on this one and say that, taking each section at face value, not only should (and she was) she be fired, but she may have broken laws given the answers she provided. Just because of edits, I don't discount content. For example, if I saw 3 old lady's tortured and then shot in the head on an edited tape where we know that the 3 lady's were indeed tortured and shot dead, I would not excuse the video and hold my judgement and excuse the actions because the video tape was edited.
If the video was edited to make her appear as though her responses did constitute something illegal, that's a problem.
 
This type of video is basically the same sort of thing media matters does.
That's bull****, show me where Media Matters has EVER run a sting operation. They monitor media and provide video, audio and extensive transcripts when possible.
 
What really pisses me off about PPH is that they were originally about helping to teach about birth control, and they just became a big pro-abortion org. They just had to go hard left, they couldn't remain reasonable.

They still are about education and distribution of birth control as well as providing other health services, such as breast exams, fertility help, treatment for STD's, and even some services for men. Abortion is less than 2% of PP's services.

I don't think facts are something they want in this thread.

I posted unedited facts for you Redress, thanks to the other thread. I don't think you want to face the "facts" that this was a huge ****-up. It's okay to say it... no one is from NOW will be making threatening phone calls and your laminated Liberal card won't be revoked.
 
Michele Bachmann promotes video smear of Planned Parenthood [UPDATE] - Minneapolis / St. Paul News - The Blotter

But there's a problem with Live Action's story: Planned Parenthood reported the possibility of the sex trafficking ring to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and the FBI a week ago, before it realized that Rose's collaborators had posed as criminals to make the video.

The New Jersey clinic and 11 others around the country were visited by a man during a week-long span in January. Once inside, he told clinic workers a lie about seeking services for a sex trafficking ring involving underage girls that he managed. As he spoke with clinic workers, a secret video camera caught the conversation.

When Planned Parenthood realized that Live Action was trying to set up its clinic workers, spokesman Stuart Schear issued a scathing denunciation.

"Falsely claiming sex trafficking to health professionals to advance a political agenda is an astoundingly cynical form of political activity," he said. "When Planned Parenthood learns of an operation that exploits young women, we vigilantly work with law enforcement authorities to uncover and stop this abhorrent activity."

These "sting operations" to "catch bad government in the act" and the news organizations and politicians who spread these "stories" are pretty pathetic. But what do they care? They've achieved their goal... Their supporters who have already heard this story more than likely wont hear the entire story... no, they'll just keep on living their lives thinking "Planned Parenthood provides services to underage prostitutes... let's de-fund them!".


I mean just look at this poll...
Should Planned Parenthood Be Stripped of Its Federal Funding? - FoxNews.com

I didn't even need to click "view results" to know how FoxNews.com readers would vote.

Even without the entire story, how can anyone think that the actions of one person represent the actions of an entire organization??????

These people are either moronic or are just desperate for more reasons to hate government... at least while a Democrat is in office...

Well, the un-edited video shows detestible actions at that particular Planned Parenthood. If this type of action is wide spread, I would support defunding it. However, in this particular case, Ms. Woodruff was fired but I don't think that goes far enough. Her "partner in crime" needs to be investigated, and Ms. Woodruff may be charged criminally - in what I hope is a very public and loud case in the media. This would possibly send a message to PP to clean up their acts, as there are people watching.

And really - isn't shining a light on such things the best disinfectant no matter what politics or causes have fallen into corrupt or criminal practices?

So how do you feel about Wikileaks?

I'm fine with Wikileaks. I think whomever did the leaking who had access to that confidential material should be prosecuted - so I also believe the law should be followed for those who break it. But Wikileaks provided information to the public which basically makes the U.S. look bad, but I don't think it did major damage. We see how corrupt and inept at times our government is and what they are doing. I think we put our government officials a little too high on a pedistal - they belong on the same level as the mafia or maybe a little higher - with the organized unions.
 
They are mandated reporters, as lnog as they report the abuse and give treatment there is no issue
