Each year, the National Abortion Federation, an association representing abortion providers, releases statistics on violence, harassment and death threats against their members. In a normal year, those numbers are depressing and terrifyingly high. But 2015 was not a normal year. It was worse.
The anti-abortion Center for Medical Progress, whose founder is under indictment, released a new undercover video Monday of conversations with people who work for the National Abortion Federation.

It’s warm, respectful, congratulatory, and strangely light on some key details.
Carly Fiorina is still baldly insisting that she saw a very specific thing in the sting videos against Planned Parenthood: “A fully formed fetus on the table, its heart beating, its legs kicking, while someone says we have to keep it alive to harvest its brain.” That video doesn’t exist. Now, anti-abortion groups are…
