Did Carly Fiorina really see an abortion in the Planned Parenthood videos? (repost)

In case you missed it, there have been developments in this story since Monday.  From the Time article linked below:

"No video released by the Center for Medical Progress showed the image Fiorina described, but one of the CMP videos does include a brief edited clip from the video Cunningham released on Tuesday, showing a fetus on a stainless steel background with its leg moving.

David Daleiden, who created the Center for Medical Progress videos, edited in the Cunningham footage to illustrate a story that he had been told on camera of a medical technician witnessing an abortion that resulted in an extracted fetus with moving legs and beating heart.”

So, they showed Fiorina a version of a video that was not released to the public until Monday.  That modified version of the video is what Fiorina has in mind when she described in the debate a baby that was kicking and was harvested for parts.  She did see a baby delivered and kicking, but it was not an abortion. Whether you want to say she is remembering it wrong or lying is a matter of preference, I suppose, but here is what medical experts have commented since Monday, and Fiorina continues to state what is not true.

It wasn’t an abortion, it was a miscarriage, and: “The fetus shown in the video likely couldn’t be saved, experts say

Dr. Jen Gunter: Center for Bio-Ethical Reform promotes illegally taped video of perineum and premature delivery

Cunningham, who provided the video, is not a medical expert, does not know what he’s talking about, and can’t say whether the video came from an abortion clinic or hospital, Planned Parenthood, or even whether it took place in the U.S.:

So, more lies and deception from the people who want to shut down Planned Parenthood.
