Quote:
Rose's objective here was to be able to accuse Planned Parenthood of not calling the authorities when alleged pimps admit to sex trafficking on Planned Parenthood premises. The problem for this accusation is that Planned Parenthood did contact the FBI and told them about a potential sex ring before the videos came out. Then, they contacted the media, so there would be no confusion about this. But since an accurate account of the facts has never been an obstacle to Rose, she released the videos and made the claim anyway, failing to note, of course, in the videos that the authorities had, in fact, been informed – in direct contradiction of her claims.

Fanatics don't respect the truth. That's how it's so easy to spot them.

Does anyone actually believe this statement from that report:

"Lila Rose is denigrating Planned Parenthood for following the law."

??

Why would she do that ... as in, "They followed the law and I think they are just terrible for doing that"??

Spin is spin and everybody spins ... and that often makes it very difficult to even guess the actual facts in a matter.

The article explains that.

It doesnt seem particularly surprising that an avowed anti-abortion activist is using rhetoric to slander abortion clinics. That's basically her job description.

No, I am saying the article itself has a lot of spin ...

"Lila Rose is denigrating Planned Parenthood for following the law."

Nonsense. Lila Rose is rightly or wrongly saying PP did *not* follow the law.

No.

She saying that she doesnt like how they followed the law. They reported her sting to the police but she would prefer an immediate arrest. So she made fun of their methods though they did follow the law.

She saying that she doesnt like the confidentiality laws that protect patients and is hitting PP for it. Some things they are required to report, others they are required to be confidential about. She doesnt like that.

It's somewhat comical that you wouldnt believe an anti-abortion activist would be angry with PP and unhappy with their methods, even if they are legal. Is she supposed to praise them? That kind of defeats her job description.

How you took a quote from the second to last paragraph without reading the same article that I did is a mystery.

My vision is poor and my reading comprehension is sometimes low ... so I now stand corrected!

Sad part is that conservatives will still ignore the truth and consider this a "gotcha" moment against PP.

That is why we have The Day Of Atonement.
