factchecking the debate

too bad that they don't have someone right there to blow a horn when someone says something incorrect.

◾Carly Fiorina said that the Planned Parenthood videos released by an anti-abortion group 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.” But that scene isn’t in any of the videos.

How interesting that this is the one thing from the article that you fastened upon...



http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-me...-watch-planne/

that's from politifact, that rates fiorinas claim as mostly false.
this article discusses her claims, and what all they found, including that pp has no such video. no one has such a video showing what she claimed.

The "Center for Medical Progress"'s truthfulness is right up there with PETA's horse racing "sting" video. Yeesh. How people can be so incredibly dumb as to think that hearing a voiceover during footage means that's the actual scenario the person is describing is mind boggling (let alone "someone said they saw it happen, therefore it happened"). Seriously, "stock footage" people. Look it up.

Speaking of poor uses of stock footage:

It's the vaccine part that really got my goat. Shame on them.

Watch the full video for yourself. It does, in fact, show a fully formed fetus, heart beating and legs kicking. And it shows this while Holly O’Donnell, a former organ harvester who worked for StemExpress at a Planned Parenthood affiliate, graphically discuss the harvesting of a brain from a baby whose heart was beating.

. . . a baby born alive at the same age as the baby whose face and head was cut open to harvest the brain.
Q: Does Planned Parenthood harvest organs from live fetuses?

No joke. Especially doctors who should know better.

A 'good' Trump story..Got this from a friend..


Quote:

My niece related a story from the early 90's when she was a new seasonal mail carrier.

She was delivering mail and one stop wasTrump's fathers place in Queens. He noticed she didn't have on the uniform shirt and asked her why. She was a skinny shy little blond kid at the time and she told him that she just started and they didn't give her one.

He said he was going to call them, that if she was working for them, then she should have the uniform. When she got back to the PO that afternoon, they made sure she got the shirt.

The first polio vaccine was developed using fetal liver tissue.

Rubella vaccine
Chicken pox vaccine
Shingles vaccine

All developed using fetal tissue. Which is strictly regulated by the government. No clinic is making money off of tissue. They may charge to recoup the costs of processing and transport, which is why the amounts quoted in the "sting" videos for tissue were $30-$100.

Studies now are on whether it can be used to treat retinitis pigmentosa, which causes blindness. It's gradually being supplanted by stem cells, but is still useful in many areas of research.

Saw the house voted to defund pp. Ridiculous. But, hey, who cares, its mostly women getting affected.

Another government shut down looming...let the blame game start. Science will save humanity, unless overwhelmed by religious fanatics.

I hope science and knowledge wins out....and then I think of the barbarians and the great library.

Some people say why are countries beginning to out pace us....don't we lead industrial nations insofar as religion??

The game is rigged, even for the Donald: How the GOP can block his nomination.

Clinton claimed that “we lose 90 people a day from gun violence.” That’s true, but only a third of those deaths are from homicides.

What are the other 2/3 deaths from?

i'm not thinking it would be considered gun 'violence' if you were cleaning your gun and it went off and shot you.
