On the contrary, such changes mean nothing but guilt of wrongdoing.

Richards seems oblivious to the facts when she writes, in the letter to the NIH, "We're going even further in order to take away any basis for attacking Planned Parenthood …"

She seems to conveniently forget that Planned Parenthood's future actions are not all that matters here. In fact, what any organization does once it has been caught red-handed matters painfully little compared to what it was actually caught doing.

And, as evidenced by Planned Parenthood's own conviction that its policies must change, much wrongdoing and lawbreaking has been committed and must be accounted for. It's not quite so easy to get off the hook, Ms. Richards. Even if, "going forward," you plan to cease profiting from your harvesting of baby parts, you and Planned Parenthood must still answer for the profiting that's already been committed.

In its official letters — to Congress and the NIH — Planned Parenthood has conveniently claimed that only "1%" of its clinics participate in the baby body parts business. Only if one pays great attention to detail can one uncover Planned Parenthood's sideways admission that a number of clinics stopped participating once the CMP videos were released. The "two clinic" figure Richards provides to the NIH is disingenuous at best.

Other issues unanswered by Richards' letter to the NIH include:

In the end — even if we believed Cecile Richards' letter — it does absolutely nothing to account for all the ways Planned Parenthood has already broken the law and no doubt continues to do so every day.

Sadly for Richards, the future simply isn't adequate to cover the guilty atrocities of the past.
