Dem staffers walk out of Planned Parenthood video screening

By Kyle Plantz

Several Democratic staffers walked out of a screening of the controversial Planned Parenthood videos on Thursday at the Capitol that had been organized by anti-abortion-rights activists.

The standoff between two Democratic staffers and the leader of the Susan B. Anthony List took place during the first congressional screening since the first video was released in July.

One of the staffers, who declined to give her name or office, had demanded to see unedited footage instead of highly contentious clips created by anti-abortion activists — an effort that Planned Parenthood and many Democrats have labeled a smear campaign.
The videos attempt to portray Planned Parenthood as illegally profiting from its fetal tissue donation program.

A total of nine Democratic staffers showed up to the event out of 2,000 that had been invited by Susan B. Anthony List. Ultimately, more press than staffers were in attendance, spurring new criticism from anti-abortion groups that Democrats are ignoring the controversy.

propaganda? Richie rich keeps taxidermists in business, but it is apparently not quite accepted to put people heads on their wall yet. Warmongers gotta have that right to life bullshit with every breath because they send other peoples' kids to die.
