The link that you provided and the video clip by the president of PP actually give a pretty good defense of that organization - I saw no spin at all.

I fail to see how defunding Planned Parenthood makes them less likely to try to find alternate revenue streams.

Nothing illegal

Video edited to remove the PP managers cautions and objections to charging more money because it is illegal and PP doesn't want to profit, just pay transportation costs.

They talk like professionals about their job/expertise, concise, clear and detached. Just as you would expect oncologists to to talk about a cancer patient.

True, what the person taking the video did was disgusting. Do you know the truth about the acorn videos?

I pass the PP clinic here in DC every day I go home from work. I don't notice it except in February, when the entrance is lined with teenagers with anti-abortion signs (they're in town for roe vs wade anniversary). That reminds me to donate some $ to PP.

This video has served as a 2nd reminder to do so.

No federal tax $ funds abortions. Very little of PP's funds goes towards abortions. Without PP, there would most likely be more abortions. That's what makes the pro-life people so, in my opinion, stupid in focusing their attention on PP.

I understand the argument for pro-life, and am sympathetic to it, BUT some of their tactics anger me and helped push me to the pro-choice side. (I said helped, not caused).
