Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-Fla) waded into the Planned Parenthood controversy and insisted that carving up the unborn for spare parts is both humane and life-saving.
First of all, what could be more humane than putting these unwanted creatures out of their misery? the Congresswoman wondered. Saying that I doubt that fetuses could feel pain, but even if they could the momentary pain of a medical instrument slicing the spinal cord has got to be far less painful than a lifetime of poverty and abuse as an unwanted child.
Second, given that the law grants a woman the unrestricted right to terminate her pregnancy, doesnt it make sense to try to salvage the residue? Wasserman-Schultz asked. I have heard that a company in California transplants salvaged fetal kidneys and implants them in rats where they can be grown and later used as a transplant for someone. Those heaping criticism on Planned Parenthood never mention this life-saving repurposing of recovered biological material.
In related news, Planned Parenthood is suing the State of Louisiana for terminating its taxpayer-funded subsidies. Planned Parenthood official Cecile Richards called the States action an illegal usurpation of President Obamas authority to determine how government funds are to be used. The federal government gives Louisiana money earmarked for Planned Parenthood. The State has no right to refuse and return it to taxpayers.

“I doubt that fetuses could feel pain”
Poor Debbie “just fell out” of her mother and now lives in unbearable pain. That may be why she stays high most of the time.
