Body Parts Scandal “Infuriates” President Obama!

Finally, our distinguished president, our Nobel Peace Prize Laureate has spoken out about the infamous scandal of body parts being trafficked. “It is infuriating and I have no patience for it,” President Obama said in a strong show of righteous indignation.

But wait, that was in response to a question about the killing of Albino people in Africa. Of course, he is absolutely right in his visceral reaction against trafficking in body parts for pagan ritual purposes in parts of Africa. And the young African leaders—to their great credit—asked the President to lend his moral authority to their effort to stamp out this horrific practice.

How strange, then, how truly bizarre it is to see this White House’s reaction to the burgeoning Planned Parenthood scandal. There can be no doubt that this outfit – the recipient of billions in taxpayer dollars—has been caught hawking hearts, lungs, and livers of unborn children killed by abortion. The Center for Medical Progress’s series of exposes have proven that Planned Parenthood top executives are willing to lie, to bend or break the law, and do almost anything else necessary to cover up their scavenging of body parts of their victims.

Journalist Amelia Hamilton dissects Planned Parenthood’s tissue of lies here. This talented writer is careful to follow the documentary trail and to point out discrepancies in how the world’s largest abortion profiteer falsely claims (1) they don’t alter the process to maximize income, (2) they aren’t making money from the organs they take, and (3) it’s not really a baby they are carving up.

The Center for Medical Progress’s exposes should prompt a full-ranging investigation by the U.S. Justice Department, but they probably won’t. In the absence of vigilant law enforcement by this increasingly lawless administration, the U.S. Congress surely must delve into this appalling matter thoroughly.

Among the questions Congress should consider is whether young women and girls are offered discounts on the cost of their abortions if they agree to let Planned Parenthood have the organs of their dead child. Also, are these young women induced to delay elective abortions in the expectation that Planned Parenthood can thus obtain more developed organs that will fetch higher market prices? Nor should Congress fail to seek information about the possible disparate impact of this execrable traffic. Do minority women and girls find themselves sought out for later term abortions?

The Center for Medical Progress’s latest video—Number 5 in the series—was done at the Houston “mega-facility”—the largest abortion killing center in the country. It is also one located—as so many Planned Parenthood centers are—in or near minority neighborhoods.

Let us be clear—that’s President Obama’s favorite phrase, it seems: this president fully backs Planned Parenthood. He has threatened to shut down the Federal Government if even one dollar is cut from Planned Parenthood’s federal largesse. His press secretary tells us the president has not seen the Center for Medical Progress’s videos. And the press secretary has not seen them. Nor, apparently, has President Obama’s Secretary of HHS, nor his Attorney General, nor his Surgeon General. It would seem that no one in this administration has taken the trouble to view these alarming videos.

So let’s commend the president for his “telescopic philanthropy.” That’s the virtue that Charles Dickens ascribed to Mrs. Jellaby in his classic novel, Bleak House. Mrs. Jellaby was forever promoting relief schemes for starving children in Africa while her own babies went hungry in England.

Our White House’s cold indifference to the horror of the slaughter of innocents at home contrasts most cruelly with its commendable condemnation of barbarism abroad. It’s time for the President to end this hypocrisy.

During Obama Admin, Planned Parenthood Has Aborted Nearly 2,000,000 Babies

Matthew Clark Jan 8, 2015 | 10:42AM Washington, DC

Planned Parenthood’s latest annual report is a sobering reminder that it remains the unquestioned leader of the Culture of Death.

While the abortion industry as a whole is considered a billion-dollar industry, Planned Parenthood once again raked in over $1 billion in revenue itself last year. But the abortion giant had plenty of help from you and me, the taxpayers. It brought in over half a billion dollars from taxpayers alone while aborting 327,653 babies, an increase over the previous year.

In fact, in the six years that President Obama has been in office, Planned Parenthood has, according to its own reports, aborted nearly 2 million babies and taken over $3 billion in taxpayer funds, leading to record profits of over a half billion dollars during the same period.

cecilerichards9Since the man Planned Parenthood calls its “champion” has been President, Planned Parenthood has increased abortions nearly 8%, and the amount it claims it has received directly from taxpayers has stunningly increased by an average of 43%.

Think about that. The largest abortion provider in America has gotten 43% more in our tax dollars, on average, while President Obama has been in office than it reported before he took office.

It’s no wonder President Obama has been called the most pro-abortion President in history.

Yet with increases across the board in abortions, taxpayer dollars, and profits, Planned Parenthood continues to play the American people for fools. It continues to assert that only 3% of its “services” are abortions.

The twisted accounting gimmicks Planned Parenthood employs to come to this figure would make even Jonathan Gruber’s head spin. Suffice to say that if a ballpark used the same calculation methods as Planned Parenthood, it could assert that only 3% of its services are ticket sales based on the number of individual peanuts sold at its concession stands.

I.e., if a ballpark sold 327,653 tickets, 150,000 hotdogs, 150,000 drinks, and 137,254 packs of peanuts (with 75 peanuts in each pack, totaling 10,294,050), ticket sales would constitute 3% of its services.

Yes, it’s exactly that absurd with Planned Parenthood. We’ve explained in detail before how Planned Parenthood unbundles its services to pad its non-abortion numbers (for example it counts every contraceptive it hands out or pregnancy test it administers as a distinct service; just those two line items alone account for nearly 5 million of Planned Parenthood’s supposed 10 million “services”).

The point is a ballpark isn’t any less driven by ticket sales than Planned Parenthood is driven by abortion.

If abortion only accounts for 3% of its services, then why is Planned Parenthood claiming it will have to close down clinics if Texas’s abortion restrictions are allowed to stand in a major case that will be heard in a federal appeals court tomorrow? Couldn’t all those clinics operate without shutting down just fine with 97% of their services?

Planned Parenthood is in the abortion business. It leads the abortion industry. It worships at the altar of abortion and profits from the death it perpetuates.

Pro-life Americans should no longer be forced to subsidize (to the tune of over half a billion dollars or 41%) the abortion giant’s annual budget.

At the ACLJ, we’re fully engaged in the fight against Planned Parenthood, from our direct challenge in court alleging massive fraud, to critical amicus briefs, including in Texas, defending pro-life laws. We’re also working aggressively in Congress urging the new pro-life majorities of the House and Senate to defund Planned Parenthood. Join us by signing our petition to cut off big abortion’s taxpayer funding.
