Fox News host Tucker Carlson slammed a federal judge Wednesday for ordering the pro-life group, the Center for Medical Progress, to remove its latest video from YouTube. <\/p>\n
Last week, a law firm representing the Center for Medical Progress released a video recorded by the pro-life group showing Planned Parenthood employees using gruesome terms to describe abortion procedures. <\/p>\n
A judge previously blocked the Center for Medical Progress from releasing the undercover footage its filmmakers recorded of conversations that took place at the National Abortion Federations 2014 and 2015 annual conferences. NAF argued that the videos publication could endanger its members. The pro-life group is currently appealing that injunction. <\/p>\n
The video released by the law firm was described as a preview of the footage from those conferences that is under injunction. Soon after the video was published, U.S. District Judge William Orrick said it violated the injunction and ordered it removed from YouTube. <\/p>\n
The video has since been removed from YouTube, as well as other social media websites. At press time, the video was available on Newsbusters: <\/p>\n
On his show, Carlson read quotes from the video, including a Planned Parenthood employee who described a fetus as a tough little object and a member of the Consortium of Abortion Providers who said, An eyeball just fell down into my lap, and that is gross! <\/p>\n
Wed love to show you the video, but we cant, because of a man called William Orrick, Carlson said. <\/p>\n
Carlson said that Orrick is a massive donor to Democrats and that he intentionally suppressed the video. He argued that Orricks claim means the First Amendment doesnt exist. <\/p>\n
Its an atrocity and its gotten very little attention, Carlson said. <\/p>\n
Lila Rose, the founder and president of Live Action, a pro-life group, told Carlson that the effort to remove the video by NAF and Planned Parenthood shows us that theyre very afraid of whats on these tapes. <\/p>\n
Rose said that the video is horrific and so difficult to hear but that its exactly what the public should hear, Tucker, because Planned Parenthood, the very abortionists that are laughing about what theyre doing on these tapes, are receiving half a billion dollars every single year from taxpayers. <\/p>\n
Earlier this week, a coalition of pro-life groups sent a letter to Attorney General Jeff Sessions and acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe asking them to direct their respective departments to investigate allegations raised by the Center for Medical Progress videos that Planned Parenthood trafficked aborted fetal body parts. <\/p>\n
Planned Parenthood has denied illegal conduct. <\/p>\n
