The nation’s biggest abortion business has been shown once again to be selling the body parts of aborted babies.
The latest expose’ of the Planned Parenthood abortion giant comes via never- before-seen documents released under a California public records request. They show Planned Parenthood selling 23-week-old aborted babies to a university for dubious research,
Newly revealed documents show Planned Parenthood supplying UC San Diego with aborted babies parts from unborn babies killed in elective abortions , including viable babies up to 23 weeks. The agreements suggest the use of fetal material for research projects in exchange for potential intellectual property rights.
Critics, including David Daleiden of the Center for Medical Progress, allege these practices may involve illegal partial-birth abortions and racial discrimination in consent forms. Calls for federal investigation have intensified, with claims of potential violations of laws against selling human tissue for profit.
Sales of the aborted babies and their body parts were part of its contract to sell the University “proprietary” “fetal material” in exchange for the “valuable consideration” of owning any “patents” and “intellectual property” developed experimenting with them.
The shocking new admissions begin in a heavily-redacted Research Plan submitted to the UCSD Institutional Review Board (IRB) and approved in 2018. On page 3 of the IRB submission, the UCSD research lab writes, “We will collect tissues from fetuses ranging from 4 to 23 weeks gestational age from subjects undergoing elective surgical pregnancy termination at Planned Parenthood in San Diego” and that patients with “viable nonanomalous” fetuses will be enrolled. The majority of healthy infants born at 23 weeks can survive with modern medical care.
The IRB submission further states that clinical data collected for each subject will include “evidence of fetal heart activity by ultrasound immediately prior to the dilation and evacuation procedure”. The study sought to harvest fetuses from up to 2,500 patients.
In emails contemporaneous with the Research Plan, a harvesting worker writes, “[A]ny sample greater than about 12.5w[eeks] requires the use of a dilating medication which is given to the patients 3 hours ahead of their procedure (these are called “cyto” patients).” “Cyto” is short for Cytotec, or Misoprostol, which is the same drug used in chemical abortions to force-start labor contractions.
Some studies show a 50 microgram dose of Misoprostol is enough to induce labor by 4 hours in the majority of cases. Planned Parenthood national guidelines recommend 400 to 800 micrograms before late-term so-called “dilation and evacuation” abortions—8 to 16 times as much—and urge clinics not to allow patients to leave the clinic after taking the drugs.
“Planned Parenthood’s use of heavy doses of a labor contraction drug to dilate pregnant women targeted for a viable fetus harvesting project means these are likely not standard ‘dismemberment’ abortions, but either intact partial-birth abortions or full delivery of live preemies,” notes David Daleiden, founder and president of CMP.
Further emails suggest this is the case. Making plans to collect fetal hearts, a UCSD researcher writes to the harvesting laboratory, “Is there someone that we can coordinate with in your lab? We were unclear as to whether you bring the fetuses back to your lab for dissections or if the dissections will be done in clinic. I can have my folks who are cc’d coordinate with whomever is doing the collection.”
Documents released from the public records request earlier this year showed transfers of aborted fetuses from Planned Parenthood to UC San Diego taking place under an ongoing “Biological Materials Transfer Agreement” contract. That contract, made for “valuable consideration”, grants UCSD “access” to “fetal and placental tissue, which are proprietary materials of PPSD”. The parties agree that in granting “access” to the “proprietary” aborted fetal body parts, “PPSD shall retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Material, including but not limited to all right, title, and interest in patents and patent applications and other intellectual property rights relating to the Material”.
In March, Sen. Marco Rubio requested an investigation from the U.S. DOJ and HHS. The transfer of any aborted human fetal tissue for “valuable consideration” 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).
Disturbingly, the documents released today also show racial discrimination in what consent forms for the harvesting program tell pregnant women at Planned Parenthood. The English-language forms include 15 bullet-pointed disclosures, the thirteenth of which states: “I understand that the donated blood, tissue, or their derivatives may have significant therapeutic or commercial value. I consent to such uses.” The disclosure about “commercial value” of the patient’s aborted baby is absent from the Spanish-language forms. The documents show UCSD’s IRB approved the racially-disparate translations in at least four consecutive years, from 2017 to 2020.
“The University of California’s documents show Planned Parenthood using labor-inducing chemical abortion drugs to deliver viable, healthy preemies with ultrasound-documented heartbeats in their taxpayer-funded abortion factories—and rather than rushing those preemies to the University hospital NICU, they cut out their hearts and other body parts to sell for patent royalty-generating experiments,” states Daleiden. “These are not just the federal crimes of partial-birth abortion and selling body parts, but also of murder for hire—disparately targeted to Spanish-speaking minorities. State and federal authorities should act to protect the civil rights of mothers and infants immediately.”
Today’s revelation comes just one day after Joe Biden gave a Presidential Medal of Freedom to former Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards, who oversaw the aborted baby part sales.
One day there will be a reckoning.
L
“Dubious research”. Like with the false hype over embryonic stem cells, they’re probably trying to find anything that will justify more aborted babies.

Parenthood, sparking outrage over abortion legacy

Biden this week awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to former Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards, a decision that has drawn sharp criticism from pro-life advocates.
After a ceremony at the White House on Wednesday, November 20, Biden commended Richards, who was the organization’s president from 2006 to 2018, as a leader of “absolute courage.” He stated in a post on X that she “fearlessly leads us forward to be the America we say we are — a nation of freedom.”
In the post on X, he also said, “Through her work to lift up the dignity of workers, defend and advance women’s reproductive rights and equality, and mobilize Americans to exercise their power to vote, she has carved an inspiring legacy.”
Pro-life advocates strongly rejected this characterization. Lila Rose, president of Live Action, responded on X, writing, “Cecile Richards presided over the abortions of 3.9 million babies as president of Planned Parenthood. She belongs in jail. Not in the White House receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom.” Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America reported in a fact sheet that analyzed previous Planned Parenthood annual reports that the organization performed more than 1.6 million abortions from 2012 to 2017 alone.
Richards followed Gloria Feldt as president of Planned Parenthood and quickly became known for transforming the organization into what she described as the “largest kick-butt political organization.” However, during her tenure, Planned Parenthood’s non-abortion health care services declined, while abortions and taxpayer funding surged, according to LiveAction.
LiveAction reported that from 2006 to 2018, Planned Parenthood’s annual government funding increased by 67%, from $336.7 million to $563.8 million. During the same period, the number of abortions performed by the organization rose by nearly 15%, climbing from 289,750 annually to 332,757 annually.

pure evil.
It’s 245am and I was gonna have a snack and go to bed.
Skipping the snack.
Thw worst way to lose weight.
Reading something so horrific that it wrecks your appetite...and mind.
How is this different from all of the other historical holocausts and wholesale murder of fellow countrymen?
Jews, Armenians, USSR under Stalin, Mao’s victim’s, the killing fields, houthis and tutsi slaughered a million of each other.
would biden have given one of those leaders a medal?
maybe...
This is beyond criminal disgusting!
They need same fate as 5-32-09
It’s much larger worldwide
We can strive for both temporal and eternal reckonings.
See my tag line.
PP and the researchers that participate in this are nothing but monsters.
The main difference is abortion is the biggest massacre of all. The US death toll alone makes Hitler look like an amateur when it comes to murder.
Cecile Richards has outdid the Shah’s and Augusto Pinochet’s secret police.
Yes and I can’t wait.
So-called planned parenthood makes tons of $$$$$ from selling the children they murder...usually after chopping them into pieces.
Planned Parenthood aka USA’s Brigade in Satan’s Army
To say they’re aborted is a misnomer. They are live birthed on ice 🧊 for research. This is essentially human harvesting
Sorry, this is a perfect example of Misinformation. Misinformation is defined as “Something that is factually true but opposes current accepted narratives and therefore must be suppressed or censored”.
