Are anti-abortion activists framing Planned Parenthood?

Clinics in about a dozen states are being visited by suspiciously similar women seeking an oddly specific type of abortion. Is there a "gotcha" coming?

Planned Parenthood clinics in at least 11 states have noted suspiciously similar walk-ins in recent weeks by young women asking remarkably similar questions, and suggesting they want an abortion only if they are pregnant with a girl. The apparently coordinated series of "hoax visits" has Planned Parenthood bracing for another "propaganda campaign" (http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/apr/24/planned-parenthood-anti-abortionists?newsfeed=true) by anti-abortion activists who selectively edit secretly videotaped visits to "promote misinformation about Planned Parenthood and our services," spokeswoman Chloe Cooney tells The Huffington Post (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/23/planned-parenthood-live-action_n_1446527.html). Are we about to see a new series of "sting" videos? Here's what you should know:

Yes, I think it's very likely another attack by right wing, anti-women scum.

Christians up to their dirty games again. If you stop kicking them they wont let go of the juicy bone. Fanatics. They lost the debate. Now they show their anti democratic essence. In UK they have been hacking into Clinic databases, no respect for the privacy of patient. No doubt there is worse to come. It appears some American christians are so crazed as to hack British clinics, too. They really are dirty small minded people.

Why can't they just allow it to be a woman's choice for fuck sake? Why is a gestating feotus (sp?) more important than a woman? Right-wing christians for death penalty for mentally handicapped adults, but against abortion??
This issue just confuses and angers me in equal measure.
