California AG To Review Planned Parenthood 'Sting' Videos
Source: ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California Attorney General Kamala Harris said Friday that she plans to review two undercover videos released by anti-abortion activists aimed at discrediting Planned Parenthood's procedures for providing fetal tissue to researchers, to see if any laws were broken.
Harris announced the move in a letter to four Democratic members of Congress who had requested an investigation, saying she'll use her office's authority to regulate charity organizations to see if the organization that made the videos violated registration or reporting requirements, or broke any other rules. Harris, a Democrat, plans to run for the U.S. Senate in 2016.
"We will carefully review the allegations raised in your letter to determine whether there were any violations of California law," Harris said in the letter to four members of the U.S. House of Representatives.
She said her office will look into "allegations that individuals impersonated corporate officials from a fake biologics company, resulting in the release of secretly filmed videos of Planned Parenthood physicians without their consent."

1. ACORN Redux. Speak out now or be buried by the mass propaganda GOP psychological operation underway. Again.

9. The physician thought she was talking to scientists in fetal tissue research
Tissues have to be "processed" in order to isolate cells and grow them in media. A lay person cringes at the descriptions but that is how science is.
Two gastoenterologists talking about colonoscopies at a dinner table may make ordinary people cringe but to them, it is just another scientific discourse.

16. **** the videos it's the 38 companies that are more damaging to the Right.
at least 17 companies on that list I either have a negative opinion or boycott outright. and some extreme pro lifers work for the companies that donate to PP. Although Exxon is very glaring. I don't donate to Komen because oil companies donate. but Exxon? I've boycotted them since Prince William Sound. the longest and earliest company I've ever boycotted or tried to. That's extremely damaging compared to the absurd false videos...

21. PP is happy to hear of your support for the absurd task of exposing the massive Lie Machine of the GOP.
It is not just PP being attacked, it is the truth under attack.
Now who do we know as a common enemy that uses lies to attack with rather consistent regulatory?
What possible law did they break?
It's my understanding that these video's were done in the San Gabriel Valley PP. Kamala Harris is despicable. What has me scratching my head is why did Donald Trump donate $6,000 to her U.S. senatorial campaign, if he is a Republican candidate for president. She couldn't be any more left and it certainly has me questioning where his loyalties lie in this. PP should have been defunded decades ago. All it did was allow for the careful crafting of federal dollars for abortions to be used in another way.
Time to put my bar studying to good use. Depending on the state law, there's no expectation of privacy in public. In PA, you have no expectation of privacy for things you say in public or over the telephone. Some states enact stricter privacy law, so I would have to look into it. However, given the fact they were at a restaurant, it's really tough to argue there's any expectation.

That shouldn't take the AG long to review them.....they're highly edited, you know. :-)
