That was the longest confabulation ever written. You have obviously paid no attention to the material and just to inform you of the slice and diced videos, their full version counterparts are readily available without any slicing and dicing just in case you feel like seeking the truth rather than inserting your own fictional explanation.
The reviewers looked both at edited videos that are about eight minutes to 15 minutes long and at what Mr. Daleiden said were full-length recordings, some more than two hours long, that he released simultaneously.
A transcription service was hired to transcribe the videos, without being told that Planned Parenthood was the client, to compare with transcripts publicized by the anti-abortion group. That comparison, the analysis said, showed “substantive omissions” in the group’s version. Mr. Simpson was assisted in the analysis by several others, including a video forensics expert, Grant Fredericks, and a television producer, Scott Goldie.
According to the investigation, the reviewers could not determine “the extent to which C.M.P.’s undisclosed edits and cuts distort the meaning of the encounters the videos purport to document.”
But, it said, “the manipulation of the videos does mean they have no evidentiary value in a legal context and cannot be relied upon for any official inquiries” unless C.M.P. provides investigators with its original material, and that material is independently authenticated as unaltered.
For example, Mr. Fredericks said recordings in Houston and Denver were each missing about 30 minutes of video, judging from time stamps and frame counters on the recordings.

A woman can't walk into an hospital and ask for an abortion. A woman can't walk into a hospital and ask for birth control either.
I would like to see hospitals carry out abortions
and doctors and nurses give out birth control.
Why can't children go to their school nurse?
In one-fifth of the 491 counties in which Planned Parenthood centers are located, a Planned Parenthood site is the only safety net family planning center available. In two-thirds of those 491 counties, Planned Parenthood serves at least half of the women who get their contraception from safety net health centers.

I believe in what I believe but not so much that I feel entitled to enforce my beliefs in a Gestapo manner
The current legalization of 3rd trimester/partial birth abortions leaves no doubt to the moral state of our society.
You should know that "partial birth abortions" have been federally banned and illegal in the USA since 2003. www.law.cornell.edu...
Also. why do you think a woman and her doctor would agree to the abortion of 3rd trimester fetus?
I'll tell you why........because the fetus is catastrophically deformed or diseased, and/or its distress is risking the life of mother, possible sending her in to septic shock or worse.
According to Ron Fitzsimmons, executive director of the National Coalition of Abortion Providers (1997), and other sources, it appears that partial-birth abortions are performed 3,000 to 5,000 times annually. (Even those numbers may be low.) Based on published interviews with numerous abortionists, and interviews with Fitzsimmons in 1997, the “vast majority” of partial-birth abortions are performed in the fifth and sixth months of pregnancy, on healthy babies of healthy mothers.

There are ways around it.

Perhaps, but its a slippery slope. Are we willing to let murders continue on perfectly normal babies as a consequence?

Any physician who, in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce, knowingly performs a partial-birth abortion and thereby kills a human fetus shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 2 years, or both. This subsection does not apply to a partial-birth abortion that is necessary to save the life of a mother whose life is endangered by a physical disorder, physical illness, or physical injury, including a life-endangering physical condition caused by or arising from the pregnancy itself.

Executives from the tissue brokering companies told House committee staff that they paid Planned Parenthood affiliates $45 to $60 per specimen to cover clinic costs and that they obtain all donor consents required by state law and research institutions, according to a memo from Democrats on the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
The Democrats’ memo does not delve into fees the companies charge researchers for specimens, but a StemExpress invoice from 2013 shows the company charged Colorado State University $250 for a fetal liver and $250 for a fetal thymus, plus $85 for priority overnight shipping. Per-specimen fees charged to researchers by Advanced Bioscience Resources range from $340 to $550, depending on processing costs.

Why is it that the pro-life side is the only side that keeps being found out for wrong doing, but the investigation efforts never swing in their direction? The spotlight never waivers from being on Planned Parenthood. Such a farce...
Public investments in family planning—enabling women to plan, delay, or avoid pregnancy– make economic sense, because reproductive rights are also productive rights. When women have control over their lives, they can contribute even more to the economy, better break the glass ceiling, equalize the pay gap and much more.
Nationally, evidence shows that public investments in family planning result in net public savings of about $13.6 billion a year—over $7 for every public dollar spent.
