To counter a protest on Thursday by Planned Parenthood supporters, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) plans to play the “sting” videos released by an anti-abortion group on loop outside the governor’s mansion, according to a statement from his office.

“Governor Jindal’s office will set up a movie screen and speakers and plan on loop the videos of Planned Parenthood employees talking bout the harvesting of unborn babies to sell on the open market,” according to the statement.

The edited videos, which have been billed as showing high-level Planned Parenthood officials discussing the sale of aborted fetal tissue, add up to about an hour. But the Center for Medical Progress has also published unedited footage, which would mean Jindal’s office would have many hours of footage to screen.

  2. The second paragraph is so garbled it makes no sense at all.

  3. To counter a protest on Thursday by Planned Parenthood supporters, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal ® plans to play the “sting” videos released by an anti-abortion group on loop outside the governor’s mansion, according to a statement from his office.

    So, Jindal’s response to protests is to basically hold his ears closed and scream “lalalalalalalal I can’t hear you lalalalalalala”.
