*Originally posted by Irate Canadian View PostI've been hearing claims that the video was edited, but IIRC the entire video is out, and she does say the exact same phrase if I'm not mistaken.
The point of the editing was to take it from over an hour of them trying to get her to do what she wasnt going to and her repeatedly, repeatedly saying no over it to make it look different.
The video is deceptively edited for a variety of reasons. Also, a transcript doesn't help as much when its a joke. On paper it sounds horrible, but when you listen it's obviously one medical professional making a joke to someone she thought was a medical professional.

As for the joke, people make jokes. It's not rare. There isn't a why, it's just how people interact with the world."Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." ― C.S.

I don't give a damn about how the people in this thread are opposed to abortion in general."Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.

Unless you are just that naive to believe the "lamborghini" joke came out of the clear blue.
As for glossing over things, the full video is around an hour long. I'm not going to start throwing out answers for things you haven't brought up yet. Plus, this was a "sting" The entire point of the Live Action spinoff group was to lead questions and discussions in a way that could be abused via editing to build up outrage. All this video shows us is some women who doesn't know offhand how much it costs to ship organic specimens to wherever CMP said it's lab was and who makes jokes. Everything else is base speculation, made worse by your own desire to see something atrocious in a group you already consider to be evil.
Frankly its boring.

If you've seen the video she repeatedly says that profit is not the motive and that the costs are associated with what it takes for, effectively, shipping and handle costs. She actually the money isn't important! I should quote that "The money isn't important." She is trying to base the costs on what other clinics do because, as has been said before, the money is for the reimbursement of costs moving it around. Theres no reason to know the information off hand (hence why she talks about other meetings, writing proposals, etc) and the attempts to pay more came from them.

You just as obviously, recognize the sickness of such discussions and because of your stance on abortion are trying to find a way to dismiss what was said by categorizing it as a "joke" and "boring" -- so you probably do have a conscience buried in there somewhere. Congratulations. Maybe one day it will be able to rise above your efforts to suppress it.

In most states, it's legal to record a phone call or conversation where at least one of the parties (you) know it's being recorded.
In some states, ALL parties must consent. (this is complicated, of course, by a phone conversation covering two or more states with different state laws)
In almost all cases, it's illegal to record a phone call or conversation to which you are not a party, without a warrant.
The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

The 1993 National Institutes of Health Revitalization Act states that human fetal tissue may be obtained from an abortion only if “no alteration of the timing, method or procedures used to terminate the pregnancy was made solely for the purposes of obtaining the tissue” and the “abortion was performed in accordance with applicable state law.”

Here's an opinion piece that might be of interest: "And tone isn’t the issue. The issue is that we’re commodifying human fetuses and harvesting parts for distribution in the marketplace, using rationalizations that can justify anything."

sheesh Jeacp. You are sounding desperate to defend this horror."The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe. I did try to found a heresy of my own; and when I had put the last touches to it, I discovered that it was orthodoxy."
