Human Capital – Episode 1: Planned Parenthood’s Black Market in Baby Parts
Center for Medical Progress ^ | July 28, 2015 | David Daleiden

Posted on 07/28/2015 6:25:08 AM PDT by libertarian27

LOS ANGELES, July 28–The first episode in a new documentary web series features a woman who once worked in Planned Parenthood clinics describing the profit motive involved in Planned Parenthood’s sale of aborted fetal body parts, and includes new admissions from top-level Planned Parenthood leadership about the illicit pricing structure.

The “Human Capital” documentary web series is produced by The Center for Medical Progress and integrates expert interviews, eyewitness accounts, and real-life undercover interactions to tell the story of Planned Parenthood’s commercial exploitation of aborted fetal tissue. Episode 1, “Planned Parenthood’s Black Market in Baby Parts,” launches today at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xw2xi9mhmuo

Episode 1 introduces Holly O’Donnell, a licensed phlebotomist who unsuspectingly took a job as a “procurement technician” at the fetal tissue company and biotech start-up StemExpress in late 2012. “I thought I was going to be just drawing blood, not procuring tissue from aborted fetuses,” says O’Donnell, who fainted in shock on her first day of work in a Planned Parenthood clinic when suddenly asked to dissect a freshly-aborted fetus during her on-the-job training.

For 6 months, O’Donnell’s job was to identify pregnant women at Planned Parenthood who met criteria for fetal tissue orders and to harvest the fetal body parts after their abortions. O’Donnell describes the financial benefit Planned Parenthood received from StemExpress: “For whatever we could procure, they would get a certain percentage. The main nurse was always trying to make sure we got our specimens. No one else really cared, but the main nurse did because she knew that Planned Parenthood was getting compensated.”

Episode 1 also shows undercover video featuring the Vice President and Medical Director of Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains (PPRM) in Denver, CO, Dr. Savita Ginde. PPRM is one of the largest and wealthiest Planned Parenthood affiliates and operates clinics in Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming, and Nevada. Standing in the Planned Parenthood abortion clinic pathology laboratory, where fetuses are brought after abortions, Ginde concludes that payment per organ removed from a fetus will be the most beneficial to Planned Parenthood: “I think a per-item thing works a little better, just because we can see how much we can get out of it.”

The sale or purchase of human fetal tissue is a federal felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison or a fine of up to $500,000 (42 U.S.C. 289g-2).

Dr. Katherine Sheehan, Medical Director emerita of Planned Parenthood of the Pacific Southwest in San Diego, describes her affiliate’s long-time relationship with Advanced Bioscience Resources, a middleman company that has been providing aborted fetal organs since 1989: “We’ve been using them for over 10 years, really a long time, you know, just kind of renegotiated the contract. They’re doing the big government-level collections and things like that.”

“Planned Parenthood’s sale of aborted baby parts is an offensive and horrifying reality that is widespread enough for many people to be available to give first-person testimony about it,” notes David Daleiden, Project Lead for The Center for Medical Progress. “CMP’s investigative journalism work will continue to surface more compelling eyewitness accounts and primary source evidence of Planned Parenthood’s trafficking and selling baby parts for profit. There should be an immediate moratorium on Planned Parenthood’s taxpayer funding while Congress and the states determine the full extent of the organization’s lawbreaking.”

Nobody better let Mitch McConnell see that. He’ll huff and puff and stop legislation to defund Planned Parenthood.

It’s instructive to see where the opposition to these videos is coming from, on both wings of the Uniparty.

Should be but won't be.

This video seems a little too long. Most people won’t sit through 11 minutes.

Slaying the Abortion Giant
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3317268/posts

We will all be held accountable for doing nothing - people need to rise up and do what they can.

If you faint in the day of adversity,
your strength is small.
Rescue those who are being taken away to death;
hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter.
If you say, “Behold, we did not know this,”
does not he who weighs the heart perceive it?
Does not he who keeps watch over your soul know it,
and will he not repay man according to his work?

(Proverbs 24:10-12 ESV)

This is their 3rd video, posted today.
Being Episode 1, it looks like it’s more a documentary than the 2 sting-videos they put out before. There are more ‘sting’ video in this one and it is very graphic towards the end.

Looking Away From Abortion
New York Times ^ | July 25, 2015 | By Ross Douthat / / FR Posted by Brad from Tennessee

In an essay in his 1976 collection, “Mortal Lessons,” the physician, Richard Selzer, describes a strange suburban scene. People go outside in the morning in his neighborhood, after the garbage trucks have passed, and find “a foreignness upon the pavement,” a softness underfoot.

Looking down, Dr Selzer first thinks he sees oversize baby birds, then rubber baby dolls, until the realization comes that the street is littered with the tiny, naked, all-too-human bodies of aborted fetuses.

Later, the local hospital director speaks to Dr Selzer, trying to impose order on the grisly scene. It was an accident, ofcourse: The tiny corpses were accidentally “mixed up with the other debris” instead of being incinerated or interred. “It is not an everyday occurrence. Once in a lifetime, he says.”

And Dr Selzer tries to nod along: “Now you see. It is orderly. It is sensible. The world is not mad. This is still a civilized society."

“But just this once, you know it isn’t. You saw, and you know.”

But the reluctance to look closely doesn’t change the truth of what there is to see. Those were dead human beings on Richard Selzer’s street 40 years ago, and these are dead human beings being discussed on video today:

Human beings that the nice, idealistic medical personnel at Planned Parenthood have spent their careers crushing, evacuating, and carving up for parts. (Excerpt) Read more at nytimes.com ....

Read a comment on Facebook by a liberal friend of mine saying that they’re selling tissue, not parts.

So it sounds like PP is trying to deceive by saying “tissue” which could be just about anything. Is there proof of specific parts being harvested?

Megele and his hero Hitler were both fans of Sanger and thought her ideas were the answer to their problem. It is amazing that these people still exist that would think of human life as some sort of profit making enterprise. Even more amazing is that there are people that think murder is a proper form of of birth control. Other than an instance of rape or incest pregnancy is a result of consensual sex. So after the fact is is okay to kill the result of that relationship without regard for the infant. Calling it a biomass is not a reason to kill a baby. And selling body parts is even more despicable.

Direct your liberal friend to the video, doesn’t have to watch the full thing....direct them to the 9:40 minute mark. *graphic* picking through 11.5 week fetus parts.

Abortion has always been murder, if people need this to know that I am speechless.

People that support abortion and claim to be Christian?? The Spirit of Christ is clearly not in anybody that supports this, nor is it in anybody that votes to remove God/Christ from classroom/public square, or even for homosexual marriage.

“Liberal Christians” might just as well eat drink and be merry, because I dont believe their salvation is real

What is obscene is that Congress is doing nothing. McConnell is leading the effort preventing Congress from de-funding PP. The American people are paying for this. The blood is on our hands.

Fox Business just showed part of the video. Their usual graphic warning doesn’t come close to covering the scene of freshly aborted baby body parts arranged in a stainless steel pan. No wonder the assistant fainted her first day on the job.

so, seriously...when do the Feds move in to investigate this? Seems pretty straight forward to me.

Should I hold my breath?
