My previous post argued that charges against Planned Parenthood are false. Click any of the green links for added evidence. Investigation of allegations that Planned Parenthood sold fetal tissue for profit has shown that
- The charges are baseless.
- The videos used to support the accusation were carefully edited to mislead viewers.
- Fetal tissue is vital to medical research and it is governed by appropriate rules.
- Carly Fiorina’s horrific claims about Planned Parenthood in the second GOP Presidential debate were false. Yet she recently complained about other candidates creating their own facts.
The situation reminds us of an important life lesson: What we don’t know is often less dangerous than what we think we know that turns out to be untrue. Congressional Republicans and GOP Presidential candidates are now so heavily committed to actions based on lies about Planned Parenthood that they can’t (or won’t) admit their error. Where is Republican outrage at being deceived by anti-choice radicals? Are they so committed to their current course of action that they’re unable to see that it is based on lies, or are they just unwilling? Either a terribly dangerous state of affairs.
