Hillary Clinton: Planned Parenthood Videos 'Disturbing'

Hillary Clinton said Tuesday that Planned Parenthood has some questions to answer regarding graphic undercover videos that accuse the women’s health organization of selling fetal tissue.

“I have seen pictures from them and obviously find them disturbing,” Clinton in an interview with the New Hampshire Union Leader.

But Clinton, who has collected campaign donations from the people connected with the organization, also praised Planned Parenthood’s work, even as she distanced herself from the broader questions surrounding the use of fetal tissue.

“Planned Parenthood for more than a century has done a lot of really good work for women: cancer screenings, family planning, all kinds of health services. And this raises not questions about Planned Parenthood so much as it raises questions about the whole process, that is, not just involving Planned Parenthood, but many institutions in our country,” the Democratic frontrunner said. “And if there’s going to be any kind of congressional inquiry, it should look at everything and not just one (organization).”

1. geesh

Sure Hillary, give credit to Fox News style of fake journalism, which specializes in sets ups, editing and ambush. Why not just do an interview with Miles O' Keefe while you are at it?

The frustrating thing about the Clinton fake centre-left is that, too often, the retreat from lies...because they are so scared that their voters will let their churches dictate the vote.

8. To me this is her problem with voters like me

She seems to be talking out of both sides of her mouth but not saying anything firmly. It is just so slippery.

I once read a quote from Spaulding Grey who almost acted in a tv movie with Farrah Fawcett. In his monolog of Terrors of Pleasure I believe this is where the quote is from. I have to go from memory because I tried finding the direct quote...so here is kinda what he said. Farrah Fawcett was a blank canvas and the audience projected any emotion they wanted onto her face.
This is kind of how I experience Hillary.

2. I find this response disturbing.

Seriously disturbing. Somebody needs to call out the lies. I would have expected Hillary to do so. Very disappointed that she didn't.

3. She needs to condemn this bullshit.

This is a bad response, IMO.

4. "Responsible decisions"? Just who is Hillary to decide if a woman's

decision is "responsible" or not?

5. What's disturbing about it is the nonstop drive to defund/close down PP.

6. Oh FFS

Hillary can't use this as an opportunity to educate Americans about the place that fetal tissue has in medical research?


"
Eye tissue from fetuses has played a crucial role in studies aimed at finding treatments for degenerative diseases of the retina that are a major cause of vision loss in people as they age, according to Dr. Miller.

“We couldn’t get this information any other way,” Dr. Miller said. He said the eye institute bought fetal tissue from a company, created specialized cultures of retinal tissue from it and sent them to other researchers.

A university researcher who asked not to be identified because he had received threats that led his institution to post a guard outside his laboratory, said fetal tissue was extraordinarily useful because “if you want to understand how a tissue or a disease develops, you should go back to the beginning.”

Another researcher, also concerned about threats, said fetal tissue was essential in research to develop treatments for degenerative diseases of muscle, because “to regenerate tissues in a human, you need to understand how human cells work.” Animal tissue can take researchers only so far, they say, because there are critical differences in development.
