Planned Parenthood could be cracking under the pressure from an ongoing expose showing the group’s abhorrent practice of selling aborted baby parts.
The taxpayer-funded “healthcare provider” — and nation’s No. 1 abortion provider — announced online Wednesday that its website was down after being hacked into by “extremists.”
An attack on Planned Parenthood’s website is an attack on the 200k people who go there for health info every day. http://t.co/Ca5w1EJy9M

Only savvy social media users saw through the ruse.
How could Planned Parenthood’s site be unusable, and yet still be able to issue a convenient message touting the group’s services?
The first reports of a hacking attack by supposed anti-abortion activists were reported on Monday. But folks at Twitchy.com were skeptical from the beginning:
When Twitchy reported Monday that Planned Parenthood’s employee and email databases had allegedly been hacked, we found ourselves using words like “allegedly” and “reportedly” quite a bit. The Daily Dot, which broke the news, reported that the hackers “say they attempted to deface Planned Parenthood’s site” but couldn’t because the site’s “back-end is so terribly configured.”
So much for Planned Parenthood’s claim that “extremists who oppose Planned Parenthood’s mission and services … have called on the world’s most sophisticated hackers to assist them in breaching our systems.”
Defacing a homepage is Hacking 101.
Tweeters got busy scolding, mocking, and admonishing Planned Parenthood for the suspected con-job.

@JillStanek staged Bullshit – your PR team trying to make you the victim? If you can post a statement, you have control over your site!

@JillStanek – not the best way to spend MY tax dollars with this scheme. What a bunch of despicable people there at PP.

@PPact This is a fantastic PR move, you sick bastards.

Thankfully, @RedSteeze was on the case:
This is just laughable now. Good to see @PPact is getting their money’s worth out of @SKDKnick pic.twitter.com/X0iBMC7XTr

@redsteeze @AdamBaldwin @PPact @SKDKnick Lying sacks!! PP brought their own site down 4 sympathy, 2 make the public think PP is the victim.

@exjon Heh… “We got hacked! Give us your credit card info to help us fix it!” doesn’t exactly inspire confidence eh?
— Carl Townson (@DeltaX78) July 30, 2015
Social media users have got your number, Planned Parenthood!
But the scenario got even more pathetic. After being called out, PP actually did shut down its site, you know, to make it look authentic.
I don’t believe PP was hacked. But they CHOSE to take site down after the “attack” was over. AFTER. Voluntarily.

PP’s homepage at :05 & :45 after . My screenshots. This is so much fun. pic.twitter.com/M8EXDpv5FG

We were hacked but not really hacked but we had to make it look like we were hacked because shit this all looks bad just take it down.
— Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) July 30, 2015
That seems to sum it up. And then @RedSteeze did a little digging:
They even titled their landing page “Campaigns” and misspelled “Template” in source coding. Hilarious. pic.twitter.com/OY6NZzBDvd

@redsteeze The “hackers” are almost Harf-like in their genius.

Harfidy, Harf, Har…
