Planned Parenthood Takes Down Website After Another Reported Hacking
Planned Parenthood took down their website today after they were reportedly targeted by hackers for the second time in a week.
The health care and abortion provider has come under intense fire these past few weeks over a series of videos secretly recorded by an anti-abortion group in which Planned Parenthood officials talk about the harvesting and sale of fetal organs.
Planned Parenthood has repeatedly insisted the videos are heavily edited. Yesterday, the Center for Medical Progress (the group releasing the videos) was slapped with a restraining order to keep them from releasing more videos (they still released a video today).
Yesterday Planned Parenthood said that they were taken down again by hackers and today they tweeted out they’re taking the site down for now:

Though as Mediaite reported earlier, plenty of conservatives were suspicious about the hack possibly being a PR stunt on Planned Parenthood’s part.
