The California’s Attorney General, in spite of serious conflict of interest issues, is investigating the group behind hidden camera recordings showing Planned Parenthood personnel and others discussing the procurement and sale of aborted baby parts. In January, a Texas grand jury indicted activists who exposed Planned Parenthood’s fetal organ trafficking. The government’s “indict the messenger” approach in these cases was of course applauded by Planned Parenthood, which is pushing more lies as a result:

The videos were “faked”? Nice try, @PPact. And by “nice” we mean pathetic:

@PPact your own audit of the videos admitted that 100% of what @ppact employees said in videos was real.

@PPact what was "fake," specifically? Were your employees actually computer animations?

Late last year, Nancy Pelosi called for an investigation into whether the videos were “faked,” but also, conveniently, claimed she hadn’t watched them.
