These legislatures and state governments weren't interested in whether Planned Parenthood "sold" "baby parts," they were looking for an excuse to gut Planned Parenthood funding, whether that money was used for family planning, gynecological service, pre-natal care, or the 3% funds from private sources that PP uses to perform abortions.

What the so-called Center for Medical Progress was purveying wasn't truth, it was "truthiness," the same sort of right-wing BS used to push the Iraq War and Buckaroo Bush's disastrous economic policies.

Purveyors and users of the CFMP's "truthiness" should be held accountable.
