Planned Parenthood falsely says abortion pictures are "not real"
On June 24th, Live Action uploaded a video to YouTube which was removed by YouTube shortly thereafter for "violation of the YouTube Community Guidelines". No detailed explanation was provided and YouTube also give our account a "warning strike".
OUR CASE WHY YOUTUBE UNFAIRLY REMOVED THE VIDEO
We do not believe that our video violates YouTube's guidelines for the following reasons:
- Our video did not disclose the identity or full name of the Planned Parenthood staffer involved.
- The four pictures of an abortion that we provided in our video were with rational context and warning. The images were not shock content and were less graphic than other videos on YouTube.
Many graphic medical procedures are found on YouTube. Warning, some of these are very graphic.

YouTube does not permit "shock" videos. Our video is clearly not a shock video as the graphic content is providing with a warning and a reasonable context for display. It is clear that our video passes the standard provided by the following YouTube Policy.
"The world is a dangerous place. Sometimes people do get hurt and it’s inevitable that these events may be documented on YouTube. However, it’s not okay to post violent or gory content that’s primarily intended to be shocking, sensational or disrespectful. If a video is particularly graphic or disturbing, it should be balanced with additional context and information. For instance, including a clip from a slaughter house in a video on factory farming may be appropriate. However, stringing together unrelated and gruesome clips of animals being slaughtered in a video may be considered gratuitous if its purpose is to shock rather than illustrate." (source)

THE STORY BEHIND VIDEO
A Planned Parenthood staffer in Tucson, Arizona tells undercover Live Action actors Lila Rose and Jackie Stollar that abortion pictures are "not real". This complete fabrication by Planned Parenthood appears to reveal their manipulation of the counseling situation so that the alleged 15-year-old girl would agree to submit to an abortion.
