Why every American needs to see the videos that the largest abortion providers wants to hide

Privacy (/prɪvəsi/ or /praɪvəsi/; from Latin: privatus) is the ability of an individual or group to seclude themselves, or information about themselves, and thereby express themselves selectively; the state of being away from public attention.
Privacy has probably been the single most successful argument in the abortion debate for those who kill the unborn. In fact, in the 1973 landmark Roe v. Wade decision, it was ruled that the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution extends to abortion, protecting the privacy of a woman’s right to terminate her pregnancy. Doe v. Bolton (1973) the companion to Roe which broadened abortion citing the “health” of the mother, also used this due process clause.
Yes, privacy has worked well for Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers. They have lived the word well as they've secluded themselves for decades, hiding their actions from the general public in the name of privacy. It's no wonder they're resorting to the privacy argument again when it's worked so well in the past to hide what's been going on behind closed doors for decades.
The grotesque undercover videos exposing the way Planned Parenthood officials callously speak of selling body parts should not be viewed, the organization argues, because of concern for the privacy of women who have had abortions. This, despite the fact, that none of the videos released so far show patients or includes any identifying information about them.
