The latest undercover videos concerning abortion released last week join the other abortion expose videos done by Lila Rose and Live Action. In the past, she and her group have caught Planned Parenthood officials taking money so they could abort more black babies and covering up the crimes of sexual predators who preyed on young girls.
The latest videos of a Planned Parenthood executive illegally harvesting fetal organs should have been no surprise, but some people were actually shocked. One picture on Facebook had a caption: “Murder 300,000 babies and nobody bats an eye. Sell the body parts and everyone loses their mind.”
Let’s get back to basics. The abortion business is a business. It receives $528 million in government funds annually. Its financial footprint is the same size as that of the NCAA. It kills more than a third of a million babies every year.
The videos show Dr. Deborah Nucatola (senior director of medical services at Planned Parenthood) explaining how to perform a partial-birth abortion so that the maximum number of organs can be harvested and sold. “We’ve been very good at getting heart, lung, liver . . . so I’m not gonna crush that part, I’m gonna basically crush below, I’m gonna crush above, and I’m gonna see if I can get it all intact.” Some of the video sounds like dialogue for Hannibal Lecter.
The legal issue is simple. Trafficking in fetal body parts is a federal crime. Let’s have a full investigation to find out if what is discussed on the video is taking place and who is responsible.
Michelle Malkin had a good question in her column. “What kind of country do we live in where law-abiding businesses are fined, threatened and demonized for refusing to bake gay wedding cakes, but barbaric baby butchers are hailed by feminists, Hollywood and a president who asked God to bless them?” You have to wonder, what kind of country we have become.
