Planned Parenthood Sells Infant Body Parts

[Neo-Scholastic]

Callous and depraved. What kind of country allows this kind of inhumanity to continue?

If the fetus is already aborted then I'm not sure what's the problem. Regulate it, tax it and let's move.

Big woop! So donated medical wastes are being used to further science and medicine, but the imaginary sky daddy wackos are afraid the baby parts are being sold to atheists for horderves at Obama parties?

I hope they can cure fundementia someday..

Do you think PP is using dollars as some kind of incentive for more abortions or to offset the cost? You are severely disturbed and an idiot if you believe a word of this. The National Organ Transplant Act (federal law) prohibits selling organs and tissues. I'm sure big brother would be all over this like stink on shit if there were even an iota of truth to the story. You need to stop believing FOX news as truth just because it's on TV.

I don't believe this, especially since most abortions happen really early anyway. They wouldn't be selling livers. They'd be selling stem cells. Which is actually beneficial, and i have no problem with it.

Are they frying the livers. Mmmmmm.

The Center for Medical Progress is an anti-abortion propaganda machine.

The controversy prompted questions about the nature of the Center for Medical Progress, which describes itself as “a group of citizen journalists dedicated to monitoring and reporting on medical ethics and advances.” The organization’s Twitter and Facebook accounts are both just a few months old, and the only videos found on the group’s YouTube page are the two shown above, even though the organization has supposedly been engaged in a three-year long investigation. The group’s web site also initially presented nothing more than standard stem cell research-related articles from mid-2013 onwards, until it suddenly switched to its current “investigative” form.

The Doctor is discussing the cost of shipment and reimbursement ($30-$100--hardly black market baby part prices<---this is the "smoking gun" in the video) to patients that choose to donate their fetal blood (not always aborted fetuses, but sometimes cell rich maternal blood, which contains cell free fetal DNA, which is valuable to research scientists.)

Here's PP's Statement:

In health care, patients sometimes want to donate tissue to scientific research that can help lead to medical breakthroughs, such as treatments and cures for serious diseases. Women at Planned Parenthood who have abortions are no different. At several of our health centers, we help patients who want to donate tissue for scientific research, and we do this just like every other high-quality health care provider does — with full, appropriate consent from patients and under the highest ethical and legal standards. There is no financial benefit for tissue donation for either the patient or for Planned Parenthood. In some instances, actual costs, such as the cost to transport tissue to leading research centers, are reimbursed, which is standard across the medical field.

A well funded group established for the purpose of damaging Planned Parenthood’s mission and services has promoted a heavily edited, secretly recorded videotape that falsely portrays Planned Parenthood’s participation in tissue donation programs that support lifesaving scientific research. Similar false accusations have been put forth by opponents of abortion services for decades. These groups have been widely discredited and their claims fall apart on closer examination, just as they do in this case.

“Deborah Nucatela was speculating on the range of reimbursement that patients can receive after stating they wish to donate any tissue after a procedure,” the organization wrote in a report.

“The promotional video mischaracterizing Planned Parenthood’s mission and services is made by a long time anti-abortion activist that has used deceptive and unethical video editing, and that has created a fake medical website as well as a fake human tissue website that purports to provide services to stem cell researchers,” the group wrote in a two-page statement.

It also provided several pages of background research about the organization’s use of donated fetal tissue, which it describes as “humanitarian undertaking that hold the potential to cure disease, save lives, and ameliorate suffering.”

The statement explains that Planned Parenthood affiliates can legally receive reimbursement from a tissue donation procedure for the “additional expenses related [to] tissue donation, which can vary based on individual circumstance,” but it does not go to staff members or providers.

The christers won't be happy until the fetuses are dashed against the stones.

If we're going to do abortions, dammit, do it BIBLE STYLE !!!!

What really gets me is how she can talk about her own brutality while eating, i.e. “We’ve been very good at getting heart, lung, liver, because we know that, so I’m not gonna crush that part, I’m gonna basically crush below, I’m gonna crush above, and I’m gonna see if I can get it all intact.” It makes me sick. Propaganda machine or not, she said it and it's on tape. They alter their procedures solely on the ability to secure a better harvest of "tissue" but of course they only have the health of the mother in mind. Sure. No conflict of interest here.

As for the market value of the body parts:



An you want me to believe that Stem Express doesn't provide any 'assistance' at all to PP. None. Not at all.

But surely the scientific research value of the practice justifies the means. Sure, Dr. Mengula, sure.
