Carly Fiorina’s surging campaign for president has been deemed dishonest and “totally irresponsible” by the US medical establishment for fundraising off an anti-abortion video, parts of which were exposed on Wednesday as not depicting an abortion at all.

The only female Republican candidate for the White House has doubled down on her restrictive position over reproductive rights since a successful debate performance. At the debate, the former Hewlett-Packard executive referred to heavily edited undercover footage, which has been used to undermine the women’s health group Planned Parenthood, in order to condemn Hillary Clinton for her pro-choice positions.

But Fiorina has misrepresented the images and descriptions used in at least one of the videos, one of the leading anti-abortion campaigners behind the sting operation admitted.
