The Center for Medical Progress (CMP) has announced that it has filed a defamation lawsuit against a former Planned Parenthood abortionist after she\u00a0said CMP’s\u00a0undercover video footage<\/a>\u00a0showing Planned Parenthood’s gruesome aborted baby parts marketing scheme were “dubbed” and \u201cfake.” CMP’s 2015 video series<\/a> captured\u00a0disturbing statements on hidden camera between Dr. Savita Ginde, then the Chief Medical Officer of Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains,<\/a>\u00a0and undercover investigators from CMP posing as representatives of a biotech company seeking to purchase and re-sell aborted human fetal organs and tissues.<\/p>\n

Live Action News obtained a copy of the lawsuit<\/a>, which states in part:<\/p>\n

Dr. Ginde published a book and made a TEDx presentation<\/a>, in which she falsely claims that the videos were \u201cdubbed\u201d and \u201cspliced and diced…\u201d and that they did not reflect her actual statements…The Ginde Videos accurately portray the discussions that Dr. Ginde had with Mr. Daleiden during the undercover investigations. No facts were fabricated or added to the video. Neither the context of Dr. Ginde\u2019s statements, nor the accompanying audio, was manipulated.<\/em><\/p>\n

Ginde writes in the prologue of her book, obtained by Live Action News and entitled, \u201cThe Real Cost of Fake News: The Hidden Truth Behind the Planned Parenthood Video Scandal\u201d:<\/p>\n

In July of 2015, following a multiyear infiltration led by a well-known anti-abortion extremist named David Daleiden, a series of deceptively edited videos were released attempting to implicate Planned Parenthood in the selling of fetal tissue. These allegations are not only completely false, but in the videos in which I am featured many of my words are taken out of context, other words are actually dubbed in, and actions are attributed to me that never actually happened. The words and actions are completely false\u00a0<\/strong>– literally, FAKE NEWS – and nevertheless, the immediate aftermath of the infiltration was devastating.<\/em><\/p>\n

“I spoke to David briefly at the conference and was vaguely intrigued…. I had no reason to find David suspicious…. Nevertheless, I sure didn’t expect that five minute conversation to significantly alter the trajectory of my life. Yet, it did,” Ginde wrote.<\/p>\n

She also recounted a second meeting:<\/p>\n

In April, David and his colleagues came to the PPRM headquarters for our meeting…One positive is that because I happened to be sitting in a part of the room where the sun was really bright behind me, you can’t see me well in part of the video<\/a> because I’m backlit….<\/p>\n

… After our meeting, I went to see some patients and David and his fake CEO stayed on to discuss “logistics” with my coordinator…. [W]hen I went back into the lab area, David and Susan were back there with my coordinator…. What happened next was truly bizarre. David put on gloves…. [M]y recollection is that I saw him put his fingers right in there with the [aborted] tissue…. He filmed our entire meeting. Based on the footage that was later released, its likely that his video camera was either hidden in his glasses or in one of his shirt’s button holes…”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ginde then claims David dubbed her words into the video, writing, “They added in phrases like “that’s brains” and “It’s a baby.”<\/p>\n
