Planned Parenthood: Carly Fiorina cooks up fake video to 'prove' her lies

Planned Parenthood: Carly Fiorina cooks up fake video to 'prove' her lies

Carly Fiorina, apparently emboldend by largely getting a pass from the traditional media for the massive lies she told about Planned Parenthood in last week's Republican debate and the massive lies about what she said she saw in the Center for Medical Progress's debunked videos, has decided she can get away with a little bit of video concocting of her own. According to a press release from Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA), Fiorina's campaign created this fake video* "in an attempt to support her lies."


Here are the five different pieces they mashed up together for their one-minute video, produced after she was widely called out for lying:

A photo of a Pennsylvania woman’s stillborn son, which was used without her permission and falsely passed off as an aborted fetus in an earlier video by the discredited Center for Medical Progress (which is behind the fraudulent video campaign).

Video from the discredited Grantham Collection, an old anti-abortion archive based in Florida. The video is likely not even a fetus. The Grantham Collection has been called out in the past for posting photos alongside totally false claims about what they are (such as a photo of commonly used sponge tongs found in most hospitals, which the archive claimed were a tool used to tear babies' limbs apart).

The audio from a video the Center for Medical Progress secretly recorded of a doctor in Colorado.

Video from a Center for Medical Progress interview with a woman who claims she used to work at an independent tissue research organization in California.

Audio from a phone conversation the Center for Medical Progress secretly recorded with a man who works at another independent health care organization in California.

Anti-choicers claim to base their ideology on moral grounds. Obviously their copy of the 10 Commandments has excised the one about "bearing false witness." Isn't it nice to be able to cut-&-paste one's ethics to meet the ideological needs?

Stoking the zealots for votes while doing incalculable damage to women across the country.

It would be a horror if she became the first woman prez.

If it is further lies, that a 9 yr old could debunk in 3 minutes on Google, doesn't matter.

She should be called out on this lie on every news media all the time. She has no fucking business even dreaming of being President. OMFG.
