Original Question
The headline reads "Planned Parenthood ADMITS to Selling Baby Body Parts" and contains at least one fallacy.
What must one presume (other than the fact/truth of the matter) for the headline to make a case against Planned Parenthood (as Freedom Wire clearly intended to do)?

I hope to present my analysis in a future response, but await the contributors' analyses first.

3The word admits is associated with guilt, which is a bad things thus is an appeal to emotion
Looks like an Appeal to Popularity fallacy to me.
I don't see a fallacy per se, but only a difference in values. Some people find the selling of fetal tissue to be immoral.
There is the use of loaded words: "body parts" sounds awful; "fetal tissue" would sound more clinical. But that's not a logical error, only a rhetorical choice.
You might read Language in Thought and Action to learn more about loaded words.
