The undercover investigation into Planned Parenthood’s involvement in the trafficking of aborted baby organs has gained so much attention in the press that Planned Parenthood’s president, Cecile Richards, felt compelled to appear on ABC’s This Week on Sunday to address the scandal.
As a crisis communications response, the interview didn’t go well. Richards’s demeanor was composed, but her statements gave the distinct impression that Planned Parenthood is panicking. Mollie Hemingway points out over at The Federalist that Richards relied on a few weak, miselading, or false talking points to get through her interview on Sunday.
