Everyone Said Fiorina Lied About Planned P’hood At GOP Debate- Then THIS Video Was Just Released…
The Center for Bio-Ethical Reform has released the source video which became a point of controversy surrounding a claim made by Carly Fiorina at the second Republican debate.
As reported by Western Journalism, one of the most memorable moments of the debate at the Reagan Library was when Fiorina prosecuted Planned Parenthood for its alleged trafficking in aborted babies’ body parts.
“As regards Planned Parenthood, anyone who has watched this videotape, I dare Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama to watch these tapes. Watch a fully formed fetus on the table, its heart beating, its legs kicking, while someone says we have to keep it alive to harvest its brain,” she said. “This is about the character of our nation.”
Fiorina’s highly charged and effective attack against Planned Parenthood elicited an almost immediate response from certain media outlets, included some Breitbart characterized as the “lying fact-checkers.” Many stated that the video Fiorina referenced does not exist.
What the candidate does describe is the eyewitness testimony of a woman named Holly O’Donnell, who worked in Planned Parenthood facilities as a tissue procurement specialist. She recounts what Fiorina described. To depict the incident O’Donnell discussses, the Center for Medical Progress (CMP) used 10 seconds of footage of an aborted baby with its legs kicking and heart beating obtained from the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform (CBR). In the CMP video, the footage is clearly marked as being from CBR, so there was no attempt to deceive.
CBR released the full source video on Tuesday, titled “Carly Fiorina was right,” to prove the baby used to illustrate O’Donnell’s narration was aborted and was still showing the signs of life described.
The founder of CBR, Gregg Cunningham, told Fox News on Tuesday: “We have incontestably laid to rest the question of whether this is an authentic abortion because we show the abortion.”
