The Price of Fetal Parts

Aborting infants and selling the pieces takes a toll on practitioners’ souls.

“Thank you, Planned Parenthood. God bless you.”

— Barack Obama, address to Planned Parenthood, April 26, 2013

Planned Parenthood’s reaction to the release of a secretly recorded conversation about the sale of fetal body parts was highly revealing. After protesting that it had done nothing illegal, it apologized for the “tone” of one of its senior directors.

Her remarks lacked compassion, admitted Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards. As if Dr. Deborah Nucatola’s cold and casual discussion over salad and wine of how the fetal body can be crushed with forceps in a way that leaves valuable organs intact for sale were some kind of personal idiosyncrasy.

On the contrary, it’s precisely the kind of psychic numbing that occurs when dealing daily with industrial-scale destruction of the growing, thriving, recognizably human fetus.

This was again demonstrated by the release this week of a second video showing another official sporting that same tone, casual and even jocular, while haggling over the price of an embryonic liver.

“If it’s still low, then we can bump it up,” she joked, “I want a Lamborghini.”

Abortion critics have long warned that the problem is not only the obvious — what abortion does to the fetus — but also what it does to us. It’s the same kind of desensitization that has occurred in the Netherlands with another mass exercise in life termination: assisted suicide. It began as a way to prevent the suffering of the terminally ill. It has now become so widespread and wanton that one-fifth of all Dutch assisted-suicide patients are euthanized without their explicit consent.

The Planned Parenthood revelations will have an effect. Perhaps not on government funding, given the Democratic party’s unwavering support and the president’s wishing it divine guidance.

Planned Parenthood might escape legal jeopardy as well, given the loophole in the law banning the sale of fetal parts that permits compensation for expenses (shipping and handling, as it were).

Krauthammer takes on Planned Parenthood as only he can.

[Mr. K]

WAS THERE PAPERWORK FOR THIS

DID THEY PAY TAXES ON THE INCOME?????

Al Capone did not go to jail for organized crime- he went for tax evasion.

[RedMDer]

The price may be your soul.

[blackdog]

Lamborghini may be able to claim damages to their brand with the words out of that horrible woman.

[jwalsh07]

Krauthammer is part of the problem. He has been pro abortion forever and now he is looking at what he helped wrought. And he doesn’t like what he sees. The slope is indeed slippery.

[Pollster1]

Planned Parenthood is a 501.c.3 “nonprofit” (meaning they pay any profits out as something like a commission to women who sell baby parts), so they don’t pay income taxes or property taxes.

[Don Corleone]

Dr. Mengele smiles.

god has blessed Planned Parenthood - the god of this world - (Satan)

[Mr. K]

hmmm.. great thinking@!

[Mr. K]

I know that, but did these women PERSONALLY get income from this? Cash under the table?

Or was it all handled with paperwork from PP?

We should demand to see the income sheets if it was. If not, then we need to see their tax returns to see if they reported the income.

[Mygirlsmom]

but did these women PERSONALLY get income from this

Yes.

[Pollster1]

No point in checking income sheets or even conducting an IRS audit. The IRS works for Obama, and they have proven to be just as partisan as any decent person’s worst nightmare.

“Report: IRS Used Donor Lists to Target Conservatives for Audits” [This is from two hours ago, but articles on the IRS as a weapon are so frequent I didn’t expect to search long before finding something similar.]

This is Animal Farm, where “some animals are more equal than others”. Obama’s IRS will not conduct a serious investigation of someone under Obama’s political protection, just of conservatives.

AND it's just a COINCIDENCE that Debra Nucatella, who is a senior director of PP, also owns and runs a firm call IMAGYN, INC. which specializes in procurement of baby parts for medical companies.

Imagyn, Inc.

[trustandobey]

30 pieces of silver. Sure wish someone who photoshops would put it under her picture.

[Pollster1]

AND it's just a COINCIDENCE that Debra Nucatella, who is a senior director of PP, also . . . specializes in procurement of baby parts for medical companies.

Ask the IRS to investigate. After they finish auditing everyone who contributes to Cruz, belongs to a gun club or the NRA/GOA, or gives to a traditional church, they will conduct a 30 second investigation and confirm your conclusion. Yes, it's just a coincidence. That's as much time as they can spare before they audit the last ten years for everyone who gave to support Sweet Cakes by Melissa against the lesbian thugs who demanded $135k for hurting their feelings by not participating in a pretend "wedding".

WHAT WE ARE DOING AND WHY

On July 14th and July 21st, the Center for Medical Progress released undercover videos showing Planned Parenthood executives casually discussing the harvesting and sale of baby body parts. It was sickening. It was horrifying. In both videos, the abortionists filmed - Dr. Deborah Nucatola, Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s Senior Director of Medical Services and Dr. Mary Gatter, the President of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s Medical Directors’ Council - candidly discuss the harvesting and selling the body parts of aborted babies and the haggling of prices for these baby body parts. 

The abortion giant claims they care about women but they don’t – just look at their actions. Planned Parenthood gets over $500 million a year in our taxpayer money and makes more than $100 million in profit, all while having abortion quotas. The organization has been caught covering up statutory rape, double-billing taxpayers, aiding and abetting sex traffickers, scheduling sex-selective abortions and accepting money to abort African American children. 

Women have been betrayed by Planned Parenthood. Families have been deceived. And the smallest among us have been the ultimate victims of Planned Parenthood's horrific business schemes. Quite frankly, we've had enough. It’s time to relieve Planned Parenthood of our taxpayer dollars. Join pro-lifers across the nation on Tuesday, July 28th to call on state and federal officials to investigate and defund Planned Parenthood, now!

As one astute FReeper posted---somebody needs to do a graph
showing the number of baby body parts it takes to get a Lamborghini.

Her remarks lacked compassion, admitted Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards.

Her remarks showed all the compassion one would expect from the second coming of the holocaust. We're talking about the murder, dismemberment and sale of human body parts....a disgusting act last practiced by the Nazi's. And by the way they too claimed it to be for the betterment of mankind....since Jews were not considered human beings...sound familiar!!!

Sickening.
