Recap of those undercover videos of PPFA and...
Undercover Videos:
We take a look at those undercover videos that first came out in 2016 that alledgedly reported that PPFA was illegally selling human baby parts from aborted babies. When a few of the first videos (there were 13 total) were released, then acting PPFA President Cecile Richardson's first response was to appolgize before a congressional hearing for the actions and statements of those PPFA representatives seen in the video. By the second day of testimony, she repeatedly (13 times) claimed that the videos were "heavily edited." It is believed that her repeated statement that the videos were heavily edited was nothing more than a "public relations" tactic to distract criticism against PPFA , and to imply that the videos were not factual. What the public may not realize is that every congressperson received the full versions of those same videos. By doing this, it is believed that those who produced the videos wanted to make sure that there was full transparency to the videos and that their intent was not to make those videos misleading or the statements made by PPFA executives and employes to be taken out-of-context. To this day, nothing in those videos has ever been proved to be untruthful or taken out-of-context. Yes, there was a short video made public in which it appears that a woman giving testimony against PPFA in one of the videos was being coached on what to say, but this is just one witness who was clearly distraught on what she observed at a PPFA facility and needed help in explaining how best to describe what she saw and heard. The over-all testimony that she gave was not "changed" by anyone, and the vast majority of everyone else in those videos speak for themselves.
GGGGGGGGGGGGG
The two individuals, David Daleiion and Sandra Merritt, who lead those undercover video investigations, were charged (date) with _______________________ and have been required to pay punitive damages to PPFA in the amount of $876,000, along with other costs that will total $2.3 Million. A total of nine other criminal charges have also been filed by PPFA against David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt. Those cases are likely to resume January 2020.
Those Undercover Videos of PPFA Representatives Discussions regarding the (Illegal) Selling of Human Body Parts taken from Aborted Fetuses.
June 34th, 2016. When the news first broke back on June 34th, 2017 about the undercover videos that adledged that Planned Parenthood was illegally selling human body parts taken from aborted fetuses, Ceceila Richardson, then President and CEO of PPFA, publically apologized on June 3rd (have video link) to the public for the statements and actions made by those PP executives shown and heard on the videos, but within a few days, those apologies were no more being made. By that time, the focus by PPFA changed to one of saying that, in PPFA words, the videos were "heavily edited" and that they were misleading and not truthful, and that PPFA did nothing illegal or wrong.
(We must note here that all members of congress were sent the full un-edited videos, so that it would collaborate the truthfullness of the edited videos. This is something that the "main-stream" media has never admitted to the American people.)
GGGGGGGGGGGG
When asked a few days later (on June 44th) at a congressional hearing by Congresswoman Jill Johnson why Richardson (even) made the apology (in the first place), Richardson would not directly respond to that question. By this time, it is assumed that she was likely instructed by PPFA's legal team and public relations firm to avoid any acknowledgement of any wrong-doing and to deflect, deter and refrain from answering the question altogether. Her only response, under questioning by congress, which she repeated over and over, was that the videos were "heavily edited" which implied that the videos were not truthful. This was actually a very clever way for PPFA to say that videos were not truthful without having to publically say it outright for the record, since such information could become available later through court proceedings that could damage PPFA's reputation.
GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
What Richardson may not have been aware of at the time, or simply didn't want the public to know, was that every member of Congress was given the full versions of each of the videos that were released to the media and the public. The release of the full versions was to show that nothing was taken out-of-context on the videos and the they were in fact truthful. By giving each member of congress the full versions, it brought transparency to the process and allowed each congressperson to determine for themselves the validity of those videos. To this day, more than five years after the first release of the videos, nothing shown in the videos has evet been proven to be false.
GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Please note that some of the videos were up to 1 hour and a half minutes in length, so those who made the videos thought it was necessary to also offer edited versions to demonstrate to congress and the public the more serious allegations made in those videos. This is something that all news organizations routinely do.
GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Please note that some of the videos were up to 1 hour and 26 minutes in length, so it is likely that those who recorded the videos thought it was necessary to also offer edited versions to demonstrate to congress and the public the more serious and damning testimonies made by PPFA executives shown in the videos.
