<\/div>

It doesn\u2019t matter what Planned Parenthood is caught on tape doing; it seems their professional apologists in the blogosphere will never budge from the fiction that there\u2019s \u201cno evidence\u201d they\u2019ve done anything wrong.<\/p>\n

At ThinkProgress, Jess Colarossi writes<\/a> that Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson\u2019s announced finding of \u201cno basis to believe that Planned Parenthood is selling fetal tissue or profiting from fetal tissue donations\u201d or illegally performing partial-birth abortions is a \u201cparticularly meaningful\u201d development in the ongoing witch-hunt against the poor, benevolent abortion provider, because Washington \u201cis one of the only two states where the organization currently offers abortion patients the option to donate fetal tissue for medical and scientific research.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are just a couple of problems with that, though.<\/p>\n

\u201cCurrently\u201d dodges the fact that we know PP affiliates in more than two states have participated in the “donation” program<\/a> in 2015 alone, including California, Colorado, and Texas. We don\u2019t truly know how many affiliates were involved before the media scrutiny began. And the governments of California<\/a> and Colorado<\/a>\u2014the states where we know<\/em> PP is engaged in morally and legally dubious practices, because they\u2019re where the bulk of the Center for Medical Progress\u2019s shocking footage<\/a> was captured\u2014have refused to investigate.<\/p>\n

\n

Republican state officials started launching investigations into Planned Parenthood affiliates in early August, after a misleading series of videos released by Center for Medical Progress accused the organization of illegally profiting from the sale of fetal tissue. The heavily edited videos have been widely referenced by GOP lawmakers in attempts to defund the health clinics and have resulted in state-wide investigations.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Uh, ThinkProgress? When multiple forensic analyses<\/a> can\u2019t find any \u201cdeceptive edits\u201d and even CNN\u2019s Anderson Cooper notices you never mention<\/a> what\u2019s been deceptively edited, maybe it\u2019s time to stop repeating it like a chant meant to ward off evil spirits. Unless, that is, you want<\/em> to come across as the very sort of propagandists you\u2019re pretending to denounce\u2026<\/p>\n

\n

So far, they have all come up empty. Officials in states like Georgia, Indiana, Massachusetts, South Dakota, and Missouri have not been able to turn up any evidence that Planned Parenthood clinics are violating state laws and regulations regarding the collection of fetal tissue donations.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In addition to the above qualifiers pointing out that the states where there\u2019s the most cause for concern have received the least scrutiny, let\u2019s recall that the vast majority of states in the union<\/a> either haven\u2019t concluded their investigations or haven\u2019t launched any at all.<\/p>\n

And in point of fact, \u201call come up empty\u201d is misleading for another reason: the finished investigations may not have found evidence of wrongdoing specific to CMP\u2019s accusations, but they have<\/em> dug up other misdeeds by Planned Parenthood. For instance, South Carolina health officials recently announced<\/a> that PP could face over $50,000 in fines for improper disposal of dead fetuses, while Florida investigators found<\/a> that PP clinics were illegally doing second-trimester abortions without the proper licensing.<\/p>\n

\n

Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards confirmed last month that her group\u2019s affiliates will no longer accept any reimbursements for the cost of collecting and transporting fetal tissue samples. Richards explained in her statement that, although it\u2019s legal for abortion clinics to receive reimbursement for the costs incurred by fetal tissue donation, her organization is taking steps to \u201ccompletely debunk the disingenuous argument\u201d that Planned Parenthood is improperly profiting from this practice.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In other words, Richards admitted the move was damage control<\/a> rather than a moral stand. But if the practice was completely above board, why stop it? After all, just a couple months ago she was proud of it<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

She also pointed out that Planned Parenthood\u2019s role in fetal tissue research is \u201can extremely small part\u201d of what they do \u2014 just 1 percent of the health centers facilitate tissue donation for scientific research.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Whether that\u2019s true remains to be seen. It\u2019s certainly hard to square with Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast research director Melissa Farrell bragging on tape<\/a> during a discussion of this \u201cone percent\u201d that \u201cmy department contributes so much to the bottom line of our organization here.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Despite there being no evidence of wrongdoing, Richards was still grilled by the GOP lawmakers for more than five hours in October as they questioned whether or not Planned Parenthood deserves taxpayer support.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Colarossi can deny it all she likes, but there is plenty of evidence of wrongdoing<\/a>, and the federal investigation into the national organization is far from over<\/a>. And that five hours of testimony yielded several useful developments<\/a>, such as Richards\u2019 sometimes-inadvertent confirmation of things pro-lifers have been saying for years\u2014like, for instance, that Planned Parenthood\u2019s past claims to provide mammograms were lies and that their\u00a0legitimate health services are dwarfed by other providers.<\/p>\n

\n

One of the biggest chunks of Planned Parenthood\u2019s budget comes from providing health services, like birth control consultations, STD testing, and cancer screenings, to people enrolled in Medicaid. Abortions make up 3 percent of the clinic\u2019s total services and federal funds are prohibited from being used for abortion by law.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And we close with the MVP of pro-abortion lies, the 3-percent figure (which has been debunked by everyone<\/a> from Live Action<\/a> to the Washington Post<\/a> to USA Today<\/a> to even Slate<\/a>), flanked by claims that ignore how cancer screenings at Planned Parenthood are in decline<\/a> and increased taxpayer funding results in the ability to do more abortions<\/a>.<\/p>\n

‘When in doubt, lie’ is the unspoken mantra of the abortion movement. And by all appearances, they’ve got a lot of doubt<\/a> about the fate of Planned Parenthood and the ‘right to choose.’<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
