In response to the first undercover video from the Center for Medical Progress’s investigation into Planned Parenthood’s sale of aborted babies’ body parts, Fox News’ senior political analyst delivered Monday what the Gospel Coalition’s Justin Taylor calls “the best 1.5 minute commentary on abortion ever heard on network news.”
In it, Brit Hume says the video exposed “the especially brutal nature of abortion” behind the industry’s “veil of antiseptic tidiness.” After lamenting the deaths of 55 million preborn babies since Roe v. Wade, Hume expressed hope that America would someday look upon its past of legal abortion-on-demand “with horror and regret”:
Full transcript after the break:
Whatever comes of the revelations about Planned Parenthood and its participation in the traffic in fetal body parts, those revelations will have achieved one thing: they have parted the veil of antiseptic tidiness behind which the abortion industry has for so long operated. The sight of a senior Planned Parenthood official, and a doctor to boot, discussing the market for fetal body parts in between bites of salad and sips of wine was stomach-turning.
That’s because it laid bare the essentially brutal nature of abortion. Let’s be blunt: abortion involves the extraction and killing of a human life, which within a couple of weeks of pregnancy has a beating heart. Five weeks in, its hands and legs begin to grow. It is these tiny creatures, and too often ones that are far more developed, that are pulled from a mother’s womb and crushed with forceps.
Oh, but oh-so-carefully, lest body parts that can be sold are preserved. This gruesome procedure shows the extent to which we, as a people, have been anesthetized by the estimated 55 million—fifty-five million—abortions performed since the Supreme Court discovered a constitutional right to that procedure 42 years ago.
Will we as a nation not someday look upon that decision and what it has done to us, not to mention the 55 million, with horror and regret? One can only hope we will.
On Tuesday, the Center for Medical Progress released its second undercover video, featuring another top Planned Parenthood official. Live Action News will continue to cover the story as it develops.
This is an insult to antiseptic veils (often a veterinarian office is more sanitarily kept)
Exactly! Abortion mills are skanky compared to veterinarian’s office.
The word "discovered" should be in quotation marks. What the Supreme Court did, as they did of late, is fabricate out of whole cloth a "right" totally alien to the meaning and intent of natural law, God's Law, and the founding documents we are legally obligated to follow and uphold.
Rush covered this yesterday. It's somehow their religion. There is nor ever will be any regret.
Thanks mikey...I needed that.
A veterinarian's office? Until recently, the average abortion facility had less regulation than your neighborhood beauty parlor. And how BigAbortion howled about those initial regulations. Here's to many more regulations for their 'business', until, at the end, they are regulated 'out of business'...

OBIE From NAIROBI concluded his remarks by saying :
“Thank you, Planned Parenthood, and God bless you”
Maybe Britt should consider supporting presidential candidates who might actually do something about it, rather than those he seems to support now.
Anybody think that those female doctors might be homosexuals
Glad to see Hume on the right side of an issue.
Frankly, given what I’ve seen an heard in the last week, I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see evidence that these aborted baby bodies were/are being sold for satanic rituals or as food.
That is more frightening and disgusting is the Democrats’ silence on this issue.
