Planned Parenthood selling baby parts....and you thought they where there to help you

[franksterr]

The Planned Parenthood abortion business has responded to a shocking new expose’ video that caught Planned Parenthood’s top doctor describing how the abortion business sells the body parts of aborted babies.

New undercover footage shows Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s Senior Director of Medical Services, Dr. Deborah Nucatola, describing how Planned Parenthood sells the body parts of aborted unborn children and admitting she uses partial-birth abortions to supply intact body parts.
In the video, Nucatola is at a business lunch with actors posing as buyers from a human biologics company. As head of PPFA’s Medical Services department, Nucatola has overseen medical practice at all Planned Parenthood locations since 2009. She also trains new Planned Parenthood abortion doctors and performs abortions herself at Planned Parenthood Los Angeles up to 24 weeks.
SIGN THE PETITION! Congress Must Investigate Planned Parenthood for Selling Aborted Baby Parts
The abortion giant released a statement from a top official defending Nucatola and its practice of selling body parts of aborted babies, which it calls “tissue.” Here is the Planned Parenthood press release:
Statement from Eric Ferraro, Vice President of Communications, Planned Parenthood Federation of America:

“In health care, patients sometimes want to donate tissue to scientific research that can help lead to medical breakthroughs, 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 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.”

However, federal law prohibits the sale of body parts of aborted babies. In fact, the sale or purchase of human fetal tissue a federal felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $500,000 (42 U.S.C. 289g-2).
Meanwhile, previous videos capturing Planned Parenthood breaking the law have not been discredited and actually have resulted in the Planned Parenthood abortion business firing staff who engaged in either lawbreaking or unethical and misleading activities.
The statement also fails to address how Nucatola admits to Planned Parenthood illegally performing partial-birth abortions, which Congress banned and have been banned in numerous states.
In the video, Nucatola (pictured below) admits that Planned Parenthood charges per-specimen for baby body parts, uses illegal partial-birth abortion procedures in order to get salable parts, and is aware of their own liability for doing so and takes steps to cover it up

do some research

[kia027]

A heavily edited video that claims Planned Parenthood is “selling aborted baby parts” is spurring a new round of controversy over the national women’s health group — leading at least two presidential candidates to call for an investigation into the organization.

The video, which has inspired some prominent conservatives to make direct comparisons between Planned Parenthood and ISIS, is the latest example of a coordinated effort to discredit the abortion provider by making inflammatory accusations about its services that are taken out of context.


In the video, Planned Parenthood’s senior director of medical services, Dr. Deborah Nucatola, is explaining how her organization handles tissue donation from aborted fetuses.


Although Nucatola thought she was speaking to buyers from a biological company, she was actually meeting with actors working for an organization called the Center for Medical Progress — which describes itself as a “group of citizen journalists dedicated to monitoring and reporting on medical ethics and advances” and has close ties to an infamous anti-abortion organization that works to discredit Planned Parenthood. Nucatola was unaware that she was being filmed.


The Center for Medical Progress says it has been investigating Planned Parenthood for nearly three years. David Daleiden, the media contact for the new investigative video project, used to work for Live Action News, the anti-choice group founded by Lila Rose that has pioneered sting operations at Planned Parenthood clinics for years. Live Action is notorious for releasing edited videos to mislead viewers about what Planned Parenthood employees are saying.


One of Live Action’s particular specialties is splicing together footage in a way that highlights abortion’s gory medical details. Of course, as with any other medical procedure, listening to doctors talk frankly about abortion can be gross. This is exactly what’s going on in the Center for Medical Progress’ new video; writing in Cosmopolitan, reporter Robin Marty described the video as “upsetting” and “off-putting,” particularly when Nucatola talks about the “menu” of fetal tissue and organs that patients may choose to donate.


Regardless of the potentially upsetting medical language, however, the Center for Medical Progress’ larger “findings” don’t hold up. Though the new investigation claims Planned Parenthood is profiting off the sale of fetal remains, Nucatola repeatedly emphasizes “tissue donation” and pushes back on the idea that her organization is selling anything. In the longer version of the raw video footage — which includes more than 150 additional minutes that didn’t make it into the final nine-minute version — there’s one instance when she says quite directly, “Nobody should be ‘selling’ tissue. That’s just not the goal here.”


On Tuesday, the Center for Medical Progress also published other documents that purportedly back up its claims, including a Planned Parenthood consent form for tissue donation. That form explains that “research using the blood from pregnant women and the tissue that has been aborted has been used to treat and find a cure for such diseases as diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, and AIDS” — and makes it very clear that donation is optional.


Abortion opponents have long been wary of medical advances that rely on using material from fertilized eggs and fetuses. That’s what spurs the debate over embryonic stem cell research, which used to be a much bigger culture war issue before the discovery of alternative stem cell options. Nonetheless, no matter how squeamish Americans may feel by the idea of donating aborted fetuses, this type of fetal tissue donation and research is legal, and has been for decades.


Eric Ferrero, the vice president of communications for Planned Parenthood, has dismissed the new video as a misleading portrayal of human tissue donation from activists who hope to smear Planned Parenthood’s reputation.
“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,” Ferrero said in a statement. “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.”


That hasn’t stopped GOP presidential candidates from demanding action. On Tuesday, former Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) called the video “disturbing” and claimed Planned Parenthood has a “penchant for profiting off the tragedy of a destroyed human life.” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) called for Congress to launch an investigation into “Planned Parenthood’s activities regarding the sale and transfer of aborted body parts.” Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R), meanwhile, immediately launched a state-level investigation into the women’s health organization, which will prevent a new Planned Parenthood clinic from being able to open in New Orleans. Jindal has been working to block the construction of that facility for the past year.


The political response is reminiscent of the way that lawmakers handled the controversy over Dr. Kermit Gosnell, an illegal abortion provider who was arrested for preying on low-income women in his unsanitary clinic in Philadelphia. After horrifying details emerged about how Gosnell broke the law, Live Action released a misleading “investigation” claiming that legal abortion providers across the country were guilty of similar crimes. GOP lawmakers obliged by initiating an investigation into abortion clinics — which came up totally empty, finding evidence only that clinics are already highly regulated and quite safe.

UPDATE JUL 15, 2015 12:00 PM
This post has been updated to include additional comments from GOP candidates.

do some research

Yeah you should do some research Planned Parenthood has lynch more blacks per year than the KKK ever did in its enter existence.
Now Planned Parenthood is making a business out of.....selling human body parts - whether legal or illegal its mostly black bodies their are trading and destroying. Not only is it despicable it stinks of racism. Worst its a continuation of a practice of using blacks and black bodies as guinea pigs/ test subjects for research.

What do you think happens to body parts from hospitals? Miscarried babies, parts removed from people, etc etc

same business

Regarding the Planned Parenthood lynching comment, explain how they are luring these women to open up their legs to have unplanned pregnancies that they terminate. Yes I know about the Eugenics movement and planned parenthood but the bigger question is why the unwanted pregancies in the 1st place.

I meant research on the specific topic you blurted out.

If you want to take the topic to launch into a discussion on the origins of Planned Parenthood, that's fine. But don't assume I don't know about that. I do.

Here is something else to research: why do you think black women in the U.S. are 5 times more likely (Latino women 2 times more likely) to end their pregnancies than do white women? Just respond with a few thoughts of your own.

If that is what happens at hospital then I find it to be a continuation of the oppression of black peoples and their body. If so worthy of condemnation and a shameful act.

The vast majority of human beings alive today are a result of so called "unplanned Pregnancy" and to do so women usually "open up their legs" I find no shame in unplanned pregnancy and "open up legs"......a so nature dictate it be.

Planned Parenthood is guilty of Promoting and Targeting Black fetuses for destruction and sale. That is worthy of condemnation and a shameful act

Because They are Targeted.

[Peasie]

Because They are Targeted.

That is one way to look at it.

Would you also consider that:

• Young Black women have less access to proper education on reproductive health than their white counterparts?
• Black women experience unintended pregnancies at three times the rate of white women?
• Chlamydia and gonorrhea infection rates for Black women are 19 times higher than those of white women?
• Black women represent 65 percent of new AIDS diagnoses among women?
• Black women are four times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes, such as embolism and pregnancy-related hypertension, than any other racial group?

When you consider these facts (for U.S. Black women), do you not think that a Black woman wants control over her own reproductive health? And do you not think that a black woman is capable of deciding what is beneficial for her future?

[franksterr]

I have not only considered it I have research it.....but you want my words.

Why is this so?????
They are TARGETED by Racist white Society to deny them proper education by under funding their schools

• Black women experience unintended pregnancies at three times the rate of white women?

Lie...do not believe it for a second.....most pregnancies are unintended. Blacks are just more likely to believe they can't afford it so it is categorize differently.....Black women maybe more a fertile

• Chlamydia and gonorrhea infection rates for Black women are 19 times higher than those of white women?

Poverty and TARGETING.....socalled Marginalization and benign neglect.

• Black women represent 65 percent of new AIDS diagnoses among women?

Prison Aids Pipeline to the Black community.....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W316-girLzw

• Black women are four times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes, such as embolism and pregnancy-related hypertension, than any other racial group?

Medical Apartheid - Washington or Race Medicine - D Roberts

When you consider these facts (for U.S. Black women), do you not think that a Black woman wants control over her own reproductive health? And do you not think that a black woman is capable of deciding what is beneficial for her future?

Yes....by allowing a proper and adequate education, employment opportunities that pays a living wage in a Community that is not Marginalize and Ghettorized, then she will be able to decide what is best for her reproductive health and beneficial for her future.

The Black woman(and man) that are experiencing those things above that you itemize are dysfunctional and are made so by the constant pressure and effects of Racism, they are place under without the skills or materials to address their living concerns. They cannot decide what is best for themselves as they are under constant duress to accept what is here right now, available and affordable, Which often times is not what is best for them.....fast food joints, liquor stores, drugs and abortion clinics.

Yes. This is the essence of the matter and I agree.

And this: a Black woman should be given the respect and the wherewithal for making her own reproductive decisions.

[franksterr]

Yes. This is the essence of the matter and I agree.

Yes.....It is also the WHOLE of the matter as well

And this: a Black woman should be given the respect and the wherewithal for making her own reproductive decisions.

This is only true if by "Reproductive decision" you mean she is given the wherewithal and sustenance to keep her pregnancy.

If you are only offering abortion as a solution to a so called "unplanned pregnancy" then that has nothing to do with Reproduction Rights or decision.

Only true? Well, then. That may be your truth of what is meant by "reproductive decision." But it is not THE truth.
