In that case, they tried to prod the PP representatives into joking, and then edited down those jokes to look like serious statements. The idea was to present a false image in which PP is making a fortune out of body parts, instead of the reality, which is that they will give fetuses for research, but receive nominal compensation for the cost of doing so.

mhm so they gave body parts and received money? Sounds a lot like selling to me.

>You are ignoring general and subjective western morals and ethics in your comparison.

And are you assuming what those morals and ethics are? Considering 67% of Americans think abortion should be legal in "all" or "most" cases?

It costs them money to preserve fetuses for research. They're allowed to be reimbursed for that cost. The law allows them to do so.

Maybe you don't like the idea of fetuses being used in medical research, but that's a different issue. If Project Veritas were to argue that fundamental point, then that would be honest. What they did, which was dishonest, was to try to present a false picture in which Planned Parenthood was somehow getting rich off of selling fetuses. As usual, there are honest and dishonest ways of trying to argue for political change. The former relies on accurately depicting what is going on and arguing against it, while the latter relies on lying about what is going on, because one believes that one's lies serve the greater good.
