Planned Parenthood pushes for media blackout regarding its sale of human baby tissues

At least three videos have recently been released indicating that people working at Planned Parenthood are engaged in the harvesting and ultimately selling of human tissues from aborted babies. Apparently Planned Parenthood is now pushing for a media blackout:

How bad is the baby organ trafficking story for Planned Parenthood? So bad that the nation’s largest abortion provider has hired a pricey PR firm to bully media outlets into not covering the scandal.
According to Politico, Planned Parenthood hired Democratic megafirm SKDKnickerbocker to handle its public relations effort surrounding the widening organ trafficking scandal. In a series of undercover videos released by the Center for Medical Progress, multiple top Planned Parenthood executives are captured haggling over the prices of aborted baby body parts and discussing ways to maximize money earned through the harvesting and sale of human organs.
Unsurprisingly, preventing coverage of the videos is apparently key to Planned Parenthood’s survival strategy:
Planned Parenthood has hired high-profile Washington public relations firm SKDKnickerbocker as it scrambles to deal with the ongoing scandal and release of a third undercover video Tuesday showing a clinic’s staff handling fetal tissue after an abortion.
The group circulated a memo to reporters and producers late Monday that discouraged them from airing the undercover videos, arguing that they were obtained under false identification and violated patient privacy.
So there’s a concerted effort from Planned Parenthood and it’s allies to “discourage[] [media outlets] from airing the undercover videos”? The deuce, you say? That would certainly go a long way towards explaining why so many left-leaning media outlets refused to cover the second video, which captured a senior Planned Parenthood executive noting that she needed a good deal on aborted baby organs because, “I want a Lamborghini.” http://thefederalist.com/2015/07/28/planned-parenthood-tells-reporters-to-suppress-coverage-reporters-happily-agree/

Planned Parenthood has enlisted high-profile Washington public relations firm SKDKnickerbocker as it scrambles to deal with the ongoing scandal and release of a third undercover video Tuesday showing a clinic’s staff handling fetal tissue after an abortion.
The additional PR firepower reflects the growing pressure on the women’s health organization amid building GOP calls to cut its $540 million in government funding. House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) earlier this week called to halt Planned Parenthood’s federal funding while Congress investigates whether the organization broke a federal ban on profiting from fetal tissue donation. The Senate plans to hold a vote on a defunding amendment from Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and others that is likely to fail.
SKDKnickerbocker is no newbie to working on Planned Parenthood issues. The Democratically aligned firm is run by well-connected operatives, including Anita Dunn and Hilary Rosen. It also worked with the group during the 2012 election cycle, according to SKDKnickerbocker’s website.
“Planned Parenthood is a longtime client, and we are proud to help them push back against these extremist attacks from people who want to end reproductive health care for women in this country,” a SKDKnickerbocker spokesman said in a statement. http://www.politico.com/story/2015/07/planned-parenthood-crisis-communications-firm-video-120725.html#ixzz3hHww6fOx
While there is some media coverage of this, it is getting more limited (this subject DID NOT come up in my normal searches in Google News yesterday or today–I had to do a special search to find what I did as Google News put it outside of ‘first page’ news). Many in the media are either not covering it much or are emphasizing Planned Parenthood’s position.
The time is coming when the truth about many more things will be very hard to find (cf. Amos 8:11-12).
Notice also Hillary Clinton’s position:
7/23/15 Hillary Clinton strongly defended Planned Parenthood Thursday as the women’s health organization reels from the fallout over a sting video released by anti-abortion activists earlier this month.
“For more than a century, Planned Parenthood has provided essential services for women,” Clinton said while campaigning at a community college in Greenville, South Carolina. “And I think it is unfortunate that Planned Parenthood has been the object of such a concerted attack for so many years. And it’s really an attack against a woman’s right to chose.” http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/hillary-clinton-defends-embattled-planned-parenthood-n397476
As far as a ‘woman’s right to choose’ goes, most of the women whose babies have parts sold do not knowingly choose to allow this. And as far as women’s rights to choose, that does not include the right to murder (for more details, see also Abortion, the Bible, and a Woman’s Right to Choose).
Notice also the following related to Planned Parenthood and its position:
July 28, 2015
The anti-abortion group which posted video of Planned Parenthood officials talking about fetal parts for sale shot some of its video at Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains in Denver. Such tissue may be used for research upon permission of a donor. It cannot be sold for profit.
That controversial video was released Tuesday morning via the Center for Medical Progress website.
The group says it shows the medical director of the local Planned Parenthood talking to an alleged buyer about fetal tissue for sale, while both are looking at specimens on a glass plate. …
Later in the day, Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains denounced this video to 7NEWS in a statement.
“The accuracy of today’s heavily edited video cannot be confirmed and the full length footage that would put any comments in context has not been made available. To be clear, however, we are certain that no laws were broken and that accusations made by those who oppose Planned Parenthood’s mission and services are false,” said Vicki Cowart, President and CEO of Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains in a written statement. http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/local-news/local-planned-parenthood-denounces-new-video-allegedly-showing-talk-of-selling-fetal-tissue
Planned Parenthood insists that it had not broken any laws (despite the fact that they regularly break God’s laws) and that the videos released have been ‘highly edited.’ Regarding that last claim, I saw one of the members of the Center for Medical Progress on the news state that the unedited videos were available at their website.
Planned Parenthood has long been in the baby murdering baby business. The fact that they sometimes sell tissues to help fund their work is not a surprise.
There are terrible consequences for sin, and instead of properly discouraging sexual immorality, encouraging abortion, which Planned Parenthood does, increases the tendency towards sin. This does not bode well for the United States.
While Europe, China, and certain other areas also have abortion and other issues, the reality is that the Bible shows that, for a time, they will do much better than the USA. So much so, because the time is coming before their end, when the USA will be no more.
