Planned Parenthood tries in vain to get Carly Fiorina to retract video claim

It could have been a simple story of facts, exaggeration and fetal tissue. In the last Republican presidential debate, Carly Fiorina passionately challengedHillary Clinton and President Obama to watch one of the undercover videos featuring a Planned Parenthood official talking about donating fetal tissue to researchers.

Describing the videos at last week's debate, Fiorina said, "Watch a fully formed fetus on the table, its heart beating, its legs kicking while someone says we have to keep it alive to harvest its brain."

It was arguably her best moment of a very good debate performance, but fact-checkers pointed out quickly that none of the videos — by the Center for Medical Progress — actually showed this.
