In 2015,an anti-abortion organization named the Center for Medical Progress (CMP) released several videos that had been secretly recorded. Members of the CMP posed as representatives of a biotechnology company in order to gain access to both meetings with abortion providers and abortion facilities. The videos showed how abortion providers made fetal tissue available to researchers,although no problems were found with the legality of the process. All of the videos were found to be altered,according to analysis by Fusion GPS and its co-founder Glenn R. Simpson,a former investigative reporter for The Wall Street Journal. The CMP disputed this finding,attributing the alterations to the editing out of "bathroom breaks and waiting periods". CMP had represented a longer version of the tapes as being "complete",as well as a shorter,edited version. The analysis by Fusion GPS concluded that the longer version was also edited,with skips and missing footage. Nonetheless,the videos attracted widespread media coverage;after the release of the first video,conservative lawmakers in Congress singled out Planned Parenthood and began to push bills that would strip the organization of federal family planning funding. No such attempts by Congress to cut federal family planning money from Planned Parenthood have become law. Conservative politicians in several states have also used this as an opportunity to cut or attempt to cut family planning funding at the state level.
