Fact-Checking Carly Fiorina’s Debate Statements on Planned Parenthood

Speaking straight into the camera, Fiorina told her audience why she believes it is essential to approve a budget that would eliminate all federal funding to the reproductive and sexual health care provider:
“Anyone who has watched this videotape — I dare Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, to watch these tapes — 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.’ This is about the character of our nation, and if we do not stand up and force President Obama to veto this bill, shame on us.”
The video of which Fiorina speaks, however, does not exist.
To date, there have been a total of 10 highly edited videos released by the Center for Medical Progress. Two of the 10 feature footage filmed undercover at a Planned Parenthood affiliate clinic. None of the 10  feature anyone — Planned Parenthood personnel or otherwise — saying, “We have to keep it alive to harvest its brain.”
A video released by the CMP on Aug. 19 featured footage of a 19-week fetus obtained not from Planned Parenthood but from the Grantham Collection, an antiabortion resource website. 
At the end of the footage, the fetus is shown to be moving slightly. Medical experts have confirmed that, just as in following the death of an adult human, there can still be involuntary movements in fetuses.
Fiorina’s impassioned, authoritative argument for the defunding of Planned Parenthood was one of the most notable moments of the three-hour-long debate. It’s too bad, then, that what she chose to say in that moment is false.
republicans attacking with misleading info just like Acorn or BLM if it gains support they must destroy it that is censorship and the republican effort to further deny us truth and replace it with their propaganda. 

we have to resist those we know to be deceivers and pass it along each one teach one that what you hear from that side is not necessarily what you want to embrace or repeat in public.

guess she too is not going to let fact checkers dictate her campaign, that sounds like "believe my lies not the facts".
