Transcript of cartoon:<\/p>\n

PANEL 1
\nA man in a jacket and tie is listening to a woman in a striped shirt speak.
\nWOMAN: We at Planned Parenthood don’t sell fetuses. We donate fetuses for medical research. There’s a fee for expenses, but we never profit.<\/p>\n

PANEL 2
\nThe man turns his back towards the viewer and is facing the woman’s word balloon from panel 1, which has remained in the cartoon, but is now mostly hidden by the man stepping in front of it. He has produced a magic marker and is making marks on the woman’s word balloon; the marker makes a “squeak squeak squeak” sound effect. The woman is puzzled by this development.
\nMAN: Hold on a minute…<\/p>\n

PANEL 3
\nThe man has turned back towards the viewers, and is holding up the woman’s word balloon from panel one. He has crossed off most of the words on the balloon; the remain words read “We at Planned Parenthood… sell… fetuses… for… profit.” He is pointing an accusing finger at the woman while yelling. The woman looks very surprised.
\nMAN: LOOK! SHE CONFESSED!<\/p>\n

From the Wikipedia page<\/a> about the so-called “Center for Medical Progress” videos:<\/p>\n

The CMP presents the videos as evidence of Planned Parenthood engaging in the illegal sale of fetal tissue and organs, and their dummy corporation Biomax offered one clinic US$1,600 for liver and thymus tissue, but the affiliate declined the offer. The New York Times<\/em> has characterized the offer as an attempt to “trap the affiliate in the act of accepting a high payment for fetal tissue”.<\/p>\n

In the unedited version of the first video, PPFA staff repeatedly state that the organization makes no money from tissue donations, and that the US$30\u2013100 charge only covers procurement costs.[1] PPFA have said they may donate fetal tissue at the request of a patient, but such tissue is never sold. At one point in the video, a PPFA staffer states “nobody should be ‘selling’ tissue”, and “that’s just not the goal here”.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
