Man Behind Planned Parenthood Videos Attempts To Explain Ties To Anti-Choice Extremists
David Daleiden and his group, the Center for Medical Progress, have been in the news a lot in recent weeks due to the release of propaganda-laced, heavily edited videos which purport to show Planned Parenthood officials discussing the sale of fetal tissue to interested buyers.
Tuesday morning, Daleiden was questioned about his group’s ties to violent anti-choice groups during an appearance on CNN’s morning show.
CNN host Alisyn Camerota directly asked Daleiden:
Critics of your organization say that you’re not journalists as you purport to be on your website, but rather you’re violent extremists. They say that you are operating under the guise of investigative reporting, but really you’re trying to shut down all Planned Parenthoods and women’s access to things like birth control and other services that they provide. Do you have any ties to Operation Rescue?….READ MORE at LiberalAmerica.org

Great! Another guy, insecure in his manhood, trying to destroy women’s rights. Maybe he should grow a pair and get a real job!

Machiavellianism 101:
Mindset of Daleiden and his fellow O’Keefe-esque propagandists at the ‘Center for Medical Progress’ —
Ours is a righteous cause, and therefore we are are not beholden to state laws or the standard ethics of journalism and documentary production.
The videos that are the basis of the GOP’s anti-PP legislative efforts have been widely discredited for having been intentionally edited to be misleading.
Several states have examined the actual practices of their local PP offices and have found nothing improper or illegal occurring .
And yet the Republicans in Congress continue to push forward with their efforts to defund Planned Parenthood, knowing full well that only a tiny percentage of its budget goes toward abortion services. Preventing unwanted pregnancies is a much greater emphasis.
Furthermore, millions of low-income women depend on PP for a wide range of their preventative health care needs.
But to the chest-thumping, self-righteous Republicans in Congress, none of this matters. If the videos help them to achieve a specific politically-motivated objective, it’s all good.

What states have investigated? I know of Indiana, have there been others?

Supposedly Texas is warming up for an investigation.

I wouldn’t count on it after the camps are filled. Oh sh*t, did I say that out loud?

POS needs to get a real job.

He looks and sounds somewhat unhinged — I doubt he can get and maintain a real job.

He could get a politician to hire him.

Or maybe O’Reilly can use him and Waters to do some special “reporting”!!

How many kids is he fostering? How many kids is he a mentor too? How many kids is he a “Big Brother” of? How many schools can count on him to volunteer time and provide much needed items such as paper and pencils? Don’t give me this holier than thou crap as you sit behind your computer typing hate filled messages at a health provider who provides legal healthcare to millions of women.
