The undercover videos apparently showing Planned Parenthood officials negotiating the sale of fetal tissue parts were an effort to “entrap” the organization, its chief, Cecile Richards, said in combative testimony to Congress on Tuesday.
Ms. Richards, the organization’s president, also seemed to withdraw her apology she issued after the first video was released this summer, saying she’s now had a chance to review the whole context and did not see anything wrong with the “statements” the Planned Parenthood doctor made, but rather regretted that she had a conversation with the undercover videographer in a “non-confidential” setting.
She also said “harassment” of women seeking abortions “has only gotten worse” since the videos by the Center for Medical Progress, but said her organization’s services provide critical health services — going well beyond abortion — for women across the country.
