Planned Parenthood abortion clinics profit from the sale of aborted baby organs, according to new documents released by a congressional committee investigating the organization’s practices.
The U.S. House Select Panel on Infant Lives released a preview of its findings after a months-long review of internal documents obtained from the nation’s top abortionist, as well as organ procurement companies and buyers. The panel concluded that abortion clinics incur no additional costs in harvesting organs obtained from an already-aborted baby and that the sale or transfer of those organs represented “pure profit” for the clinic.
“The [abortion clinic] has no costs so the payments from the [procurement business] to the [abortion clinic] are pure profit,” the report concludes. “All costs are born by the [procurement business] or the customer. The payments from the customer to the PB exceed its cost by a factor of 300 to 400 percent.”
Pro-life activists said those practices run counter to federal law, which bars clinics from profiting off of the sale of baby body parts.
“The abortion industry sells baby hearts, livers, brains, hands and other organs procured by a middleman company inside their facilities at no cost or effort to the facilities themselves. The facility receives upfront fees that can amount to five-figure sums every month and then the procurement companies resell organs for tens of thousands more—depending on the child’s characteristics,” Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the Susan B. Anthony List, said in a release. “The documents make clear there is absolutely no cost to the abortion clinic so that all monies received go to their bottom line.”
The scandal began after investigators with the pro-life Center for Medical Progress released a series of videos capturing top Planned Parenthood officials discussing the group’s fetal organ sales in the summer of 2015. One top official was caught on camera saying that clinics generate a “fair amount of income” from the sales.
The committee’s conclusions stand in contrast to Planned Parenthood’s repeated denials that it made any money from the sale of organs. The group claimed that all payments were to recoup costs. The abortionist announced last year it would no longer accept any payments from researchers or procurement companies for baby body parts.
Planned Parenthood did not return a request for comment.
The congressional panel will hold a hearing Wednesday morning to discuss the report.
I hope I live to see God’s judgement fall upon these people like a hammer.
They are not ‘pure profit’. They have to pay a butcher to carve up the parts. (Going to vomit up my guts now)
The most evil government in the history of our republic, investigating the most evil collective in the history of our republic, and we the subjugated are FORCED to pay for all of this.
Maybe that bi##h so-called “doctor” wiill get her Lamborghini after all. She can drive it straight to hell.
Why would anyone support public funding of these murdering, leftist ghouls?
Campaign contributions is why. The same motivation keeps us too-dependent on foreign oil.
pure profit pure evil
