7. Has anyone else admitted to seeing the footage that she describes ?

She is the only person I have heard who says they saw what she claims.

Anyone else notice how many times she referred to "democrat" policies.

She knows that her support is coming form the batshit crazy wing of her party.

saw the scene she describes. It's not just doubling down on a lie, it's clinging to that lie after it has been exposed.

10. Perhaps it is posted on some RW site -

I have not heard anyone else saying what you ask. But I miss a lot also and do not visit RW sites. I do pop into fox news every now and then to see what the crap is.

11. I've seen something like what she described. A child born intact is a miscarriage. Not an abortion

I think the footage was from Russia.

Even if the child was not able to live more than a short time even with heroic measures I really wish someone had picked it up and held it rather than clinically film it.

But it was NOT an abortion.

But to use footage like that to try and deny the only family planning and health coverage that many low-income women have access to is beyond cruel.

They know damn well what they are doing.

13. From what I've read and watched

the baby in question was stillborn at 18-20 weeks gestation. Dr. Jennifer Gunter an ob/gyn described the video and notes the cord is clamped, something not done in 2nd trimester abortion proving an abortion did not take place. The video clip was provided by the Center for Bio-Ethical reform and was used without the permission of the family and did not even take place at PP.

I can only hope the poor mother of this baby comes forward to finally give the absolute truth to what this video, obtained illegally really is and make a fool out of Fiorina. Then again, she'll continue with this lie, but at least people can see her for the liar she really is.

15. Not stillborn if alive.

But still beyond the reach of even heroic efforts.

A tragedy used for horrid political gain.

Has that nasty glare thing going on as if she could melt Chuck Todd with her eyes for having the effrontery to ask her those questions.

and even seemed to be losing her composure, repeatedly saying "the thing is", and jumbling some of her words. Not a good interview and I think as she keeps getting confronted with this video she saw and no one else, she'll continue to lose ground, at least we can hope.

17. Mean and nasty appeals to her base...
Sun Sep 27, 2015, 11:41 AM

there is much evil that has been stoked by RW mediots and bloggers for years and years, and that base has little interest in the truth of things, they only want some kind of revenge for things that never even actually happened.
