Last week, Massachusetts’ Attorney General Maura Healey became the latest in what’s sure to be a long list of state attorneys general to conclude the same thing. Specifically, Healy concluded,
“Over the past week, my office has conducted a thorough review and found that Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts’ health care centers are fully compliant with state and federal laws regarding the disposition of fetal tissue. Although donation of fetal tissue is permissible under state and federal law, PPLM does not have a tissue donation program. There is no evidence that PPLM is involved in any way in the buying or selling of tissue. As such, our review is complete.”
Sure, Massachusetts is a leftward-leaning state, but Indiana is very much not. Back on July 16, Gov. Mike Pence, R-Ind., launched an investigation of Planned Parenthood following the release of what was obviously a doctored and misleading video. The probe focused on facilities in Indianapolis, Bloomington and Merrillville, and this past week the Indiana Department of Health reported it was “unable to find any non-compliance with state regulations. Therefore, no deficiencies were cited.”
Couldn't those closed Planned Parenthood clinics just stop providing abortion but continue to be open and provide women health services like cancer screening?
WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM with business providing services that are COMPLETELY LEGAL?
so when you post comments on stories that mention abortion, you are supporting abortions, because you stimulate the posting of pro-abortion comments by others
Okay, I'll bite. What does "murder" mean? Is it "murder" when I cut my toenails? Is it "murder" when a woman refuses sex? Is it "murder" when a condom is used? Is it "murder" when a fertilized egg fails to attach to the uterine wall? Is it "murder" when a raped woman terminates her pregancy? Is it "murder" when a badly mutated fetus is terminated?
Is it "murder" when young children are denied food and shelter and education, they have no opportunity for the fine trappings of your privileged life, and they end up dead at 14 or 16 at the hands of the police?
Some have argued that the taped discussions that were conducted in California were done in a public setting (restaurant) and there isn't an expectation for privacy in those cases.
California is a "two-party consent" state for recording audio, all parties involved must be aware of the recording in order for it to be legal.
Please point us to the law that was passed to make recording conversations with abortion providers illegal and then we can discuss whether that law is constitutional or not.
A judge's decision is not a law and can be appealed, so that's an entirely different conversation.
recording audio without the permission of all parties is illegal in many places
how about we make secret videos of your personal activities, show them to the world and let other people decide whether they are appropriate or not, without asking you.

They're nothing like any of their counterparts in the rest of the animal kingdom.
people who failed basic high school biology think that their opinions on these matters are relevant

Comparing the filming of private activities of a person to that of a recipient of public funds,
if you are itemizing deductions on your tax return, then you are a recipient of public funds
if you buy subsidized dairy products in the grocery store, you are the recipient of public funds
every citizen is a recipient of public funds
Does that apply to sporting events as well? It must make televising them a lot more difficult.
read the back of your fucking ticket
don't give me any credit, you put your own foot in your own mouth
Sounds like the folks that recorded the videos are the conservative version of Edward Snowden.
How does it feel to be on the other side?
In our latest controversy, hair salons are now under attack because they are disposing of human remains in the dumpster.
Planned Parenthood could get a law passed against hidden camera exposes in their clinics
they already have laws like this for patient confidentiality
maybe you'd like to broadcast a video of your prostate exam

And fetuses/babies can't speak either. That is who the people fighting this fighting are trying to defend. J
guess what, the mother speaks for her unborn children.
for the sole purpose to make these videos.
Are you saying they didn't bother to pick up their paychecks?
It's murder when a living human is torn apart for body parts. The rest of your diatribe is irrelevant.
Tell us more about these "living humans", they must have birth certificates, right?
And the animal rights activists posed as employees to get their video. Uncovering illegal/unethical behavior should be encouraged.
they didn't "pose" as employees, they were employees.
so when you post comments on stories that mention abortion, you are supporting abortions, because you stimulate the posting of pro-abortion comments by others
sure, but animals don't speak and thus they are not communicating anything
The videos were made of a business meeting at a public place. There is no expectation of privacy.
You are wrong, in California the permission of all parties is required before recording audio. There is no exception for being in a public place.
So should we expect & applaud a constitutional challenge to the "two-party consent" laws on the apprx.-same basis as done for the Idaho videos?
you can get back to us when you find animals that are capable of giving consent
Which means any funds that go to Planned Parenthood fund abortion, period.
??? So when I go to the grocery store and buy some canned beans, I am really funding abortions because they also have a drugstore ???
Really? How about "you shall not murder?"
Okay, I'll bite. What does "murder" mean? Is it "murder" when I cut my toenails? Is it "murder" when a woman refuses sex? Is it "murder" when a condom is used?

Is it "murder" when young children are denied food and shelter and education, they have no opportunity for the fine trappings of your privileged life, and they end up dead at 14 or 16 at the hands of the police?
They didn't film people having sex, they filmed people abusing animals
why don't you bother to read what I was responding to
Yes there is they are tasty and I am an omnivore they are food.
"Enjoy human rinds, muncha buncha cruncha human"

Why not let people see them and decide?
how about we make secret videos of your personal activities, show them to the world and let other people decide whether they are appropriate or not, without asking you.
but cost almost nothing to operate.
you never had to pay for the maintenance contract

privacy? what privacy?
