Planned Parenthood Website Attacked, Taken Offline for Hours 
-------------------------------------------------------------


 
Planned Parenthood's website was reportedly attacked by anti-choice
activists Wednesday, who took the site offline for hours. The
organization tweeted that the site was being targeted "by anti-abortion
extremists." The online attack comes as Planned Parenthood is under fire
from anti-choice activists, who are accusing the organization of selling
fetal tissue. Planned Parenthood has repeatedly said that it shares the
tissue with medical researchers without making any profit. Meanwhile, a
California court issued a restraining order Wednesday to prevent the
same anti-choice group that released edited videos of Planned Parenthood
from releasing videos about a California company that supplies fetal
tissue to medical researchers.
