"A pretty sick company," indeed:
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 six 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, Colorado, 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 ten 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 ten 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.” [emphases added]
I find myself reminded of a couple of scenes from X-Men Days Of Future Past. (I couldn't find either on YouTube) The first is the one where Mystique infiltrates Trask Industries, breaks into Trask's secret files, and finds the autopsy/medical dissection & experimentation reports, complete with photographs of the stomach-turning carnage, on all the mutants he's, well, harvested in his grisly quest to create the Sentinel machines that will eventually destroy mutantkind. The look on Mystique's face as she sees what's been done to her mutant brothers and sisters is quite similar to that of Dr. O'Donnell above on her first day at "work".
The second is the barely repressed rage of Magneto as he rebukes Xavier for not having joined his quest to protect mutants a decade earlier:
Erik Lehnsherr: Angel. Azazel. Emma. Banshee. Mutant brothers and sisters: all dead!
[The plane's controls start to freeze up and roll as the outer skin of the fuselage puckers under Erik's magnetic power. Inside, Erik stands still while Charles loses balance and things slide around the cabin]
Erik Lehnsherr: Countless others, experimented on, butchered!
Hank McCoy: [at the controls] Erik!
[The plane starts to dive and loose items slide across the floor towards the cockpit. Charles grasps at the wall to hold himself in place over the seats]
Erik Lehnsherr: Where were *you*, Charles? We were supposed to protect them! Where were you when your own people needed you? Hiding! You and Hank! Pretending to be something you're not!
Hank McCoy: Erik!
[The plane steadies]
Erik Lehnsherr: You abandoned us *all*.
"Countless others, experimented on, butchered!" Sound familiar? And both reactions - shocked sorrow and angry outrage - are precisely what are "rippling" across the American public with each successive CMP video release, and Planned Parenthood and its Democrat patrons know it. These videos, the Naziesque butchery exposed, clearly the pervasive rule rather than isolated exceptions throughout the PP organization nationwide, cannot be spun, as "choice" or "women's reproductive health" or anything else. It is pure cannibalism, plain and simple, already unequivocally and explicitly criminal. and liable to become a front-burner issue in the 2016 campaign as the poster issue for the depraved, animalistic downward spiral of American culture, no matter how squeamish GOP political consultants get.
Captain Ed tweeted out another great point:
This is the problem with the abortion position. They're arguing "clump of cells," "pile of goop" while PP is marketing human livers, hearts.
Those two positions cannot be simultaneously maintained. If they're harvesting human organs, it has to be from a human being.
And the only way they can harvest human organs is to kill the unborn human being to whom they belonged -- which is exactly what abortion is.
The logic is undeniable. Now we'll see how many Americans - in and out of government - heed it.
UPDATE: Yay?:
U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is planning to hold a vote on legislation in coming days on a Republican bill halting federal funding of Planned Parenthood, following the release of videos involving use of aborted fetal tissue for medical research.
"The leader is working with his members to address this horrific issue and intends to have a vote before we leave" for a five-week summer recess, said McConnell spokesman Michael Brumas.
This after Mitchie the Kid blocked Rand Paul's PP-defunding amendment from being attached to the transportation bill, and his own much-ballyhooed ObamaCare-defunding amendment was predictably block by minority Democrats and meekly withdrawn. If there's any reason not to expect this empty gesture to produce any different of a result, I have no idea what it might be.
