Planned Parenthood Accused of Faking Website Hack

There are mounting suspicions that Planned Parenthood faked the much-publicized “hacker attack” on their website this week, as part of a P.R. strategy to distract from the storm of undercover-video revelations about their baby-organ harvesting operations.

Apparently the mega-expensive Democrat public relations firm hired by Planned Parenthood forgot that web browsers can be set to display the source code of a website:

As Breitbart News previously reported, the “temporary landing page” created to inform visitors that the Planned Parenthood website was down contained a rather obvious political message – “We apologize, but our site is not available because of an extremist attack. 200,000 people a day are now being blocked from information and care by this attack.”

Actual hackers usually replace the targeted website with a message of their own choosing. Say this much for the abortion mega-corporation: if they faked an attack on their site, they are correct to say it was the work of “extremists.”

Speaking of which, the latest undercover video just dropped – the Center for Medical Progress evidently undaunted by Big Abortion’s shopping for a judge who would suspend the First Amendment to silence them – and this one’s a real doozy, because it sure does sound like Planned Parenthood executives discussing a criminal conspiracy, not to mention making it clear that profit from organ-harvesting is very much on their minds:

As the CMP notes, “Since PPRM does not use digoxin or other feticide in its 2nd trimester procedures, any intact deliveries before an abortion are potentially born-alive infants under federal law (1 USC 8).”

There’s also a passage in the video where the Planned Parenthood ghoul talks about maximizing profits by selling off baby body parts on a per-item basis, which suggests the violation of additional laws: “The sale or purchase of human fetal tissue is a federal felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison or a fine of up to $500,000 (42 U.S.C. 289g-2). Federal law also requires that no alteration in the timing or method of abortion be done for the purposes of fetal tissue collection (42 U.S.C. 289g-1).”

How much evidence of illegality does a banana-republic government need before it gets serious about investigating one of its biggest political donors? Let’s watch a few more of these nauseating undercover videos and find out! To quote one of Barack Obama’s famous phrases, if it saves just one life, we must investigate Planned Parenthood.

You have to wonder if someone inside the Big Abortion machine gave Hillary a little heads-up on what the videos yet to come were likely to show, so she could establish an unprecedented degree of distance between herself and an organization Democrats are expected to support uncritically and absolutely. Someone like, say, Lily Adams, the (living) daughter of Planned Parenthood honcho Cecile Richards, who just happens to work for the Clinton campaign.

Author Mark Steyn noted on Monday that not even the progressive European countries idolized by American liberals tolerate this level of abortion depravity:

In France abortion is legal up to 12 weeks; Italy, 13 weeks; Norway, 18 weeks, but it requires the approval of a government commission. Nowhere else in the western world takes 39-week-old “fetuses”, delivers them sufficiently to preserve the commercially valuable parts and then crushes the non-sellable parts in order to preserve a technical denial of infanticide. That is a uniquely American evil, and Americans should be utterly ashamed of it. American liberals ought to understand that in far more left-wing societies (Scandinavia, the Netherlands, France) they do not do this – because it’s not a left/right thing, it’s a good/bad thing, and Planned Parenthood’s abortion-industrial complex is on the wrong side of that divide.

The undercover video also includes explicit discussion of spinning the media by claiming all of this is done for the sake of “research” instead of profit. Hey, if that doesn’t work, you can always try faking a website hack by extremely extreme extremists – you know, the people who think killing a baby without even administering a drug to dull the pain, because that would damage her valuable organs, is obscene. Some of those folks are so “extreme” that they think human organs can only be extracted from a human being, rather than anonymous blobs of goo.

Update: It looks like the enhanced scrutiny scared Planned Parenthood away from their “hacking” story.  According to the Washington Examiner, in the noon hour on Thursday, they changed the website message to say “our normal site is currently undergoing maintenance.”

They also stopped claiming hackers “brought the site down,” and started saying those “anti-abortion extremists briefly blocked any traffic” from reaching their website, although their Facebook page still talks says “anti-abortion extremist hackers brought down plannedparenthood.org.”  This is what you get for paying a fortune in organ-harvesting money to SKDKnickerbocker for crisis-management P.R. work?
