Carly Fiorina 'Dares' Planned Parenthood Supporters To Watch Her Imaginary Fetus Video
Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina insisted on Sunday that anyone who wanted to debate her about Planned Parenthood funding would have to "prove" that they watched videos of a fetus that fact checkers say don't exist.
During last week's Republican presidential debate, Fiorina had claimed that she saw undercover videos from a Planned Parenthood that showed a fully formed fetus on the table, its heart beating, its legs kicking while someone says we have to keep it alive to harvest its brain.
However, fact checkers like FactCheck.org and The Washington Post have said that there was no such scene included in the videos that were recently released by an anti-abortion group.
"Do you acknowledge what every fact checker has found?" Fox News host Chris Wallace asked the candidate on Sunday. "As horrific as the scene is, it was only described on the video by someone who claimed to have seen it. There is no actual footage of the incident you just mentioned."
"No, I don't accept that at all," Fiorina shot back. "I've seen the footage. And I find it amazing, actually, that all these supposed fact checkers in the mainstream media claim this doesn't exist, they're trying to attack the authenticity of the videotape, I haven't found anyone in the mainstream media who has ever watched these things."

(18,497 posts)It is almost impossible to get a late term abortion in the US. And those were always only done under dire, horrible, heart breaking circumstances anyway.
Right-wingers hate women so much that they think they are going to be 5 months pregnant and suddenly decide....
"You know what? I don't want a kid after all. Would you stick an ice pick in the things brain and suck it out of me."
Late term abortions have always been only because of extreme medical circumstances.
Late term abortions do not result in intact infants.
There are very premature infants born alive that really can't possibly survive.
I think there is an allowance in some states to let nature take its course over a few minutes or hours, especially at the consent of the parent, rather than medical torture racking up millions of dollars.
But I would rather someone
