Planned Parenthood Caught On Video Lying To Women (Again) About Abortion

This isn't the first time PP has been caught on tape telling outright, bald-faced lies about what exists in the womb. In fact, I had this just a couple of months ago: Video: Planned Parenthood Caught Lying To Women - "A fetus is what's in the uterus right now. That is not a baby". This was just sick:

Nothing terrifies a Planned Parenthood "health care professional" more than a woman actually being informed about what is happening invisibly in her womb. In every state where there is an informed consent law requiring the showing of an ultrasound to a woman prior to abortion, Planned Parenthood has fought it every step of the way? Why? If they are really pro-choice, as opposed to pro-abortion, what could possibly be wrong with a woman seeing with her own eyes what is happening within her own body? Statistics show, however, that 95% of women that see the ultrasound do not go through with an abortion. When your business depends upon butchering those babies, such a statistic simply cannot be let to stand! Thus, they lie.

In any case, I posted this video in my Linkaround last night, but it is surely worthy of it's own post:

More from Jill Stanek on the latter vid:

LiveAction.org today released the 3rd in its Rosa Acuna series of videos, a "multi-state undercover audit documenting Planned Parenthood's abortion counseling," according to its site.

All 3 released videos are of PPs located in WI, this 1 at 5380 Fon du Lac Ave., Milwaukee, pictured above right.

In this video the PP counselor states a preborn baby at 6-8 weeks of age has "no legs, no arms, no head, no brain, no heart," which is false, false, false, false and false. She makes the nonsensical statement, "The fetus is the developing embryo inside you," which would normally make me laugh if we weren't talking life or death here....

And throughout this video the PP counselor pushes for a rush-rush abortion while stressing the down side to babies - "midnight feedings, diapers, money" - the bad economy, the "burden" of adoption, those "horrible" abortion photos, and, of course, the abortion industry's reputation of "throwing the babies out the back door and into the dumpster."

Cassy Fiano makes a great analogy to what these 'couselors' at PP really do:

...Planned Parenthood doesn’t have counselors. They have salespeople. Notice how this woman uses a technique you might recognize if you’ve ever bought a vehicle from a dealership, ever. It’s the “buy it now, because this offer won’t be available tomorrow!” technique. The salesperson tries to rush you into doing it right away, because they know you’re less likely to make the deal if you wait until later. It’s awful when you consider that this is someone who is supposed to be helping girls make the best decision for them. They’re going to Planned Parenthood scared, confused, angry maybe… and they’re being manipulated and taken advantage of. Planned Parenthood receives millions in taxpayer funding, and yet they still operate on an abortion-first basis out of greed and bloodlust.

Thing is, in Wisconsin, what the above counseler/salesperson is doing is patently illegal. Via Live Action:

Wisconsin law requires women to receive medically accurate information before obtaining an abortion. The America Medical Association indicates in its Code of Ethics that “the physician’s obligation is to present the medical facts accurately to the patient.”

Lila Rose, UCLA student and president of Live Action, says the new footage further confirms the deceptive and manipulative practices of Planned Parenthood: “Planned Parenthood has an abortion-first mentality that is driven both by ideology and the desire for money,” says Rose. “Since women will often choose against abortion if they learn the scientific facts about the unborn child inside the womb, Planned Parenthood distorts basic facts in an attempt to perform more abortions.”

A statement of the American Medical Association from 1857 (cited by Wade in Roe v. Wade): "The independent and actual existence of the child before birth, as a living being, is a matter of objective science. It is a popular ignorance that the fetus is not alive until after the period of quickening."

Also, in 1981, a US Senate judiciary subcommittee heard testimony from multiple sources and reached this final conclusion: ""Physicians, biologists, and other scientists agree that conception marks the beginning of the life of a human being - a being that is alive and is a member of the human species. There is overwhelming agreement on this point in countless medical, biological, and scientific writings." (Subcommittee on Separation of Powers to Senate Judiciary Committee S-158, Report, 97th Congress, 1st Session, 1981)

There it is - the inconvenient truth. Besides the lies that Planned Parenthood tells women in regards to the baby, they've also been caught covering up statutory rape (here and here), selling fetus bodyparts for profit, and Medicaid fraud. And do keep in mind that a full third of their $1 billion windfall is taxpayer money handed to them by our government. This entire organization can be summed up in one word: evil.
