Planned Parenthood Website Attacked, Taken Offline for Hours

HeadlineJul 30, 2015

Planned Parenthood’s website was reportedly attacked by anti-choice activists Wednesday, who took the site offline for hours. The organization tweeted that the site was being targeted “by anti-abortion extremists.” The online attack comes as Planned Parenthood is under fire from anti-choice activists, who are accusing the organization of selling fetal tissue. Planned Parenthood has repeatedly said that it shares the tissue with medical researchers without making any profit. Meanwhile, a California court issued a restraining order Wednesday to prevent the same anti-choice group that released edited videos of Planned Parenthood from releasing videos about a California company that supplies fetal tissue to medical researchers.
