Now, c'mon. You are putting words into my mouth. I stated that the same person who is behind this video has previously been caught red handed actually faking another. This speaks directly to the fact that the person has a history of lying and misleading, through editing and even worse trickery.
In a statement sent to FactCheck.org, Dr. Deborah Nucatola, senior director of medical services for Planned Parenthood, said that “Planned Parenthood does help women nationwide get access to mammograms,” as part of the health care services it provides to nearly 3 million persons each year. “Women rely on Planned Parenthood for referrals for and financial help with mammograms and specialized diagnostic follow-up tests (like ultrasounds and biopsies) when indicated by age, history and/or clinical breast exam.”
Women can’t walk into a Planned Parenthood clinic and get a mammogram on the spot. The clinics don’t have mammography equipment. Planned Parenthood performs gynecological exams, including breast exams, and refers women to other facilities to have mammograms performed, much like women are referred to radiological centers by their gynecologists or primary care physicians.
According to Planned Parenthood, its medical staff performed 747,607 “breast exams/breast care” in 2010, the most recent statistics available. As for cervical cancer screenings, as the president mentioned, it performed 769,769 Pap tests.
In addition to mammogram referrals, the group says it helps low-income patients find grants and assistance to pay for mammograms, such as through the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program, which is for women at or below 250 percent of the federal poverty level. Planned Parenthood of Western Pennsylvania also has a Breast Health Care Fund, which helps patients obtain mammograms. Individual clinics also may occasionally sponsor no-cost mammogram events — for instance, on Oct. 19, Planned Parenthood of Nassau County, N.Y., plans to sponsor free mammograms at a mammography van at the health center. In south-central New York, a state program parks its mobile van outside two Planned Parenthood clinics.
Doing anything less is to engage in confirmation bias.

I put no words in your mouth.
I meant it as a question. (I admit to wording it poorly)
Are these three videos faked?
Apparently there are 6 more to come.

I have yet to see PP release a portion showing the proper context.
That would be the right way to refute it. I have heard it used repeatedly that the statements are taken out of context, but I haven't seen them simply provide that context.

Interesting side note: Did you know ole Margie was anti-abortion? She also disagree with eugenicists of the time and believed that race was not a factor to be included when receiving women's services?
If you focus on one small part, you lose sight of the bigger picture.

what do you think comes out in the toilet when a woman or girl self-aborts or miscarriages, apple pie and whipped cream????....my mother who was a nurse worked for a country doctor in Illinois during the 40's, and back then, abortions were called women's problems....everybody kept quiet, but abortions were happening then, too...everybody needs to grow up.
FYI: 'Margie' was big on sterilizing "Colored people", immigrants, indigents, the retarded, and the handicapped.

Politics aside on this, I think everyone can agree that this is abhorrent, and 9 more videos to go.

Yes, she did, but with very specific caveats. They had to have a debilitating genetic trait, disease or "something else" to qualify.
I'm not saying that's better by any means, but is important to the context of the discussion.
