2,000 Democratic Staffers Invited to See Planned Parenthood Videos; Only 3 Watch
CNS News ^ | 9/3/15 | Penny Starr

The pro-life group Susan B. Anthony List invited some 2,000 Democrat staffers to attend a screening Thursday of the nine undercover videos that have been released by the Center for Medical Progress showing top medical officials with Planned Parenthood Federation of America discussing the sale of body parts of aborted babies.

Less than 10 Democrat staffers showed up out of the some 2,000 Democrat staffers invited, and only three actually watched the videos – just two of which watched all of the 90-plus minutes of video footage.

“Horror is hard to look at,” SBA President Marjorie Dannenfelser said when CNSNews.com asked about the low turnout for the screening. “Horror is very difficult.”

Before the screening, eight people identified themselves as Democrat staffers, including two who are interns. Only one staffer stayed for some of the screening, while the two interns stayed for the entire screening.

CNSNews.com inquired as to why Republican staffers weren’t asked to attend, and SBA staff responded that following media reports in both The Hill and the Weekly Standard that Democrats expressed support for Planned Parenthood but admitted not watching the videos. Dannenfelser decided to give Democrat staffers a chance to see the videos and report back to their bosses.

Following the screening of the graphic videos, which include footage of Planned Parenthood medical staff sorting out body parts in a Petri dish and a former procurement technician describing how she had to cut through the face of an aborted baby to get to its brain, Dannenfelzer compared the revulsion the videos evoke to the animals rights movement and the outlawing of child labor in the U.S. based on undercover operations that exposed wrongdoing and cruelty.

“Nobody wants to see horror,” Dannenfelser said, calling the few who did attend the event “hardy souls.”

None of the staffers who came to the screening, including those who stayed to watch, were willing to speak to the press.

When Congress returns next week, the federal funding provided to Planned Parenthood -- $528 million for fiscal year 2013-2014 or $1.4 million a day – is expected to bring heated debate.

“There are a lot of things we don’t want to see but we certainly have an obligation in the policy world and especially when we’re members of Congress or staff to see what the topic is,” Dannenfelser said.

Of course the overwhelming number of Dhim Staffers didn't bother to watch the videos. After all, why should facts get in the way of their opinions?

2 maybe 3 Democrat staffers out of 2000 have some semblance of a soul it seems.

The three Democrats who did watch the videos were probably some how sexually stimulated by it in other words it was porn to them

#InnocentLivesMatter?

Nope. Even though a couple hundred thousand innocent black babies are murdered in American abortion clinics each year, a couple thousand babies who would have grown up to be gay join them, and a quarter million babies who would have become welfare bums become cash bonuses for Planned Parenthood executives, only #ThugLivesMatter to liberals.

Looks like the Dem staffers are being “good little Nazis” and looking the other way, so to speak. History doesn’t change, does it?

It only goes to show how little the demodummies care.

Don’t they realize that one day those aborted and butchered babies might even vote demodummie some day?

Thirty years ago, a priest old me that Cardinal Hickey was told that there were about 6,000 nuns in the Archdiocese of Washington who, every Sunday, were gathering for “eucharist” without the presence of a priest. As with practically all problems in the Church, Hickey did nothing.

The democrat party depends on money and votes from the baby killers.

If a person took a new-born kitten, placed it on a plate, then snipped it into pieces the way a baby is snipped apart in an abortion, that person would be in jail before the blood congealed.

There was a real case a century or so ago where some children were removed from an unfit home under the authority of the SPCA (it may have happened in England). May God have mercy on all of us.

It is that much more difficult to witness, I suppose, for those who support and advocate that horror while lying to themselves that babies are just "clumps of flesh."

A horrible irony is that researchers doing fetal research in animals have to euthanize the fetuses in accordance with the standards of humane euthanization procedures that have been established for that species. That is, they have to kill the animal fetuses humanely.

Yet abortionists who kill human fetuses can use whatever brutal inhumane methods they want. After all, it's a woman's "right" to have her baby tortured to death. (I think that abortionists actually derive pleasure from the pain they cause their victims, similar to other mass murderers.)

Based on my life observations, 0.15% of Democrats choosing to be informed is about right.
