"" An anti- abortion group on Tuesday
released an undercover video of an executive at Planned Parenthood sipping red wine while discussing in graphic detail how to abort a fetus to preserve its organs for medical research — and also the costs associated with sharing that tissue with scientists. The video, filmed by a group called the Center for Medical Progress, threatens to reignite a long -standing debate over the use of fetal tissue harvested through abortions, and could add fuel to efforts seeking to ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy. In a statement , a spokesman for Planned Parenthood said the video misrepresents the organization ’s work. Planned Parenthood clinics, with a patient ’s permission, may sometimes donate fetal tissue for use in stem -cell research, said the spokesperson, who added that the group’ s affiliates, which operate independently, do not profit from these donations. “At several of our health centers , we help patients who want to donate tissue for scientific research, and we do this just like every other high -quality health care provider does —with full , appropriate consent from patients and under the highest ethical and legal standards ,” spokesman Eric Ferrero said. “ In some instances, actual costs , such as the cost to transport tissue to leading research centers, are reimbursed, which is standard across the medical field .” He accused the Center for Medical Progress of mounting a misleading attack , similar to other groups that have tried to mount undercover “ stings” targeting Planned Parenthood. But anti -abortion groups said the video shows that Planned Parenthood is essentially selling fetal organs and that Congress and other authorities should investigate. Buying and selling human fetal tissue is illegal in the United States . Federal regulations also prohibit anyone from altering the timing or method of an abortion for the sole purpose of later using the tissue in research. Donating the tissue for research, however, is legal with a woman’ s consent. Anti- abortion groups also said the callous nature of the discussion captured on film should tug at viewers ’ consciences — particularly when Deborah Nucatola, Planned Parenthood’s senior director of medical research, apparently describes “crushing ” the fetus in ways that keep its internal organs intact , and her remarks about researchers ’ desire for lungs and livers. “I ’d say a lot of people want liver , ” she says in the video posted on the Center for Medical Progress’s Web site , between bites of salad. “ And for that reason, most providers will do this case under ultrasound guidance, so they’ ll know where they ’re putting their forceps. ” She continues : “ We ’ve been very good at getting heart, lung , liver , because we know that, 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 .” The group also posted a nearly three- hour version of the video that it ’ s calling the “full footage. ” Over lunch at a Los Angeles - area restaurant, the unidentified activists, a man and a woman, told Nucatola they worked for a fetal tissue collection center that aimed to snare “ a competitive advantage” by providing local samples for researchers who ’d like to avoid lengthy trips between clinic and lab . They said they worked in Norwalk , a suburb of Los Angeles. “Every provider has patients who want to donate their tissue , and they want to accommodate them, ” says Nucatola. “ They just want to do it in a way that is not perceived as: This clinic is selling tissue. This clinic is making money off this . In the Planned Parenthood world , they ’re very, very sensitive to that . Some affiliates might do it for free . They want to come to a number that looks like a reasonable number for the effort that is allotted on their part ... ” One activist asks , “Okay, so, when you are —or when the affiliate is—determining what that monetary .. .So that it doesn ’t raise the question of. ..‘ This is what it ’s about.. .’— What price range would you ... ?” “You know, I would throw a number out, I would say it ’ s probably anywhere from $30 to $ 100, depending on the facility and what’s involved, ” says Nucatola. “ It just has to do with space issues, are you sending someone there that’ s going to be doing everything .. .is there shipping involved? Is someone going to be there to pick it up ?”"" Whole article here: http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/undercover-video-shows-planned-parenthood-exec-discussing-organ-harvesting/2015/07/14/ae330e34-2a4d-11e5-bd33-395c05608059_story.html Youtube video here: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jjxwVuozMnU&itct=CDkQpDAYACITCN3q3sXw28YCFYrefgodZykGYVIScGxhbm5lZCBwYXJlbnRob29k&client=mv-google&gl=US&hl=en |

I seen about half of the video... I couldn't make it through it. I still can't believe what I was hearing
And they are sitting there, talking about the best way to kill babies... as to not damage the remains to sell! While having lunch, in public... tossing a f@cking salad. |

I'm not interested in sickening myself, so I wont watch it. I urge caution however, when anything this upsetting is posted these days.
We have seen MANY faked videos put out just like this. The worse and more upsetting they are, the more likely it is that they are hoaxes, specifically designed to outrage us. I have seen right wing fakes, left wing fakes, sales-gimmick fakes, UFO fakes, pro religious fakes, anti religious fakes, you name it. It's just too cheap and easy to do this kind of thing. This sounds to be one put together by someone hoping to elicit exactly this kind of response, by having actors play out the absolute worst evil fantasy they could work out. Frankly, I don't believe a word of it. |

TheHill FLOOR ACTION July 14, 2015 - 06:42 PM EDT GOP lawmaker calls Planned Parenthood video 'simply horrifying' Rep. Martha Roby (R-Ala.) took to the House floor in an emotional speech Tuesday to blast a viral video purportedly showing a top Planned Parenthood official describing the transfer of aborted fetal tissue. The undercover video, which surfaced Tuesday morning from a group called the Center for Medical Progress, shows a woman identified as Deborah Nucatola, Planned Parenthood Federation of America's senior director of medical services, discussing fetal tissue procurement. "A lot of people want intact hearts these days, because they're looking for specific nodes," the woman says. "Yesterday was the first time she said people wanted lungs," the woman adds. "Some people want lower extremities too, which, that's simple. I mean that's easy." Roby called the video “simply horrifying.” “This is one of those moments as a nation that we have to ask ourselves, Who are we? Are we really going to tolerate this inhumanity? Are we going to look the other way while babies are brutally killed and organs are harvested for profit?” Roby asked. “These aren’t specimens, they are babies, for goodness’ sake,” the Alabama Republican said. Planned Parenthood said the video “grossly mischaracterizes” fetal tissue donations. “The promotional video mischaracterizing Planned Parenthood’s mission and services is made by a long time anti-abortion activist that has used deceptive and unethical video editing, and that has created a fake medical website as well as a fake human tissue website that purports to provide services to stem cell researchers,” Planned Parenthood said in a statement. Moments earlier, Roby removed herself as a co-sponsor of a bill to create a commemorative coin to increase funding for breast cancer research that was eliminated from the vote schedule Tuesday. GOP leaders decided to hold off on a vote due to concerns from Republicans that proceeds from the coin sales would go to the Susan G. Komen foundation, which has had ties to Planned Parenthood. |

Brilliant!
wont watch it. We have seen MANY faked videos put out
Well by all means, post any pertinent links showing that the video you wont watch is fake. Id take it into account for sure. There is even the unedited full length video out there on the internet you can decide not to watch also.
just like this. Maybe youre right....maybe its fake. But you know what isnt fake? "" Abortions in the United States Total number of abortions in the U.S. 1973-2013: 56.5 million+ 219 abortions per 1,000 live births (according to the Centers for Disease Control) Abortions per year: 1.058 million Abortions per day: 2,899 Abortions per hour: 120 1 abortion every 30 seconds These statistics include only surgical and medical abortions. Because many contraceptive measures are abortifacients (drugs that induce or cause abortions), it is important not to overlook the number of children killed by chemical abortions. Since 1965, an average of 11 million women has used abortifacient methods of birth control in the United States at any given time. Using formulas based on the way the birth control pill works, pharmacy experts project that about 14 million chemical abortions occur in the United States each year, providing a projected total of well in excess of 610 million chemical abortions between 1965 and 2009."" http://www.all.org/nav/index/heading/OQ/cat/MzQ/id/NjA3OQ/ Based on the above link, these words in your post, "worst" and "evil" are appropriate....sadly, " fantasy" is not. |

And oh looky...even ABC is now reporting on the "fake" video....
"" NEW YORK — Anti-abortion activists on Tuesday released an undercover video showing a senior Planned Parenthood official discussing the disposition of parts from aborted fetuses. The activists contended the video reveals illegalities, but Planned Parenthood said the activity in question was the legal, not-for- profit donation of fetal tissue to research firms. The video was made covertly last year, depicting a lunchtime conversation between Dr. Deborah Nucatola, Planned Parenthood's senior director of medical services, and anti- abortion activists posing as potential buyers for a human biologics company. Nucatola is heard in the video referring to fetal hearts, lungs and livers and to efforts to retrieve these organs intact rather than crush them during an abortion procedure. Commercial sale of human fetal tissue is illegal under federal law, but non-commercial tissue donation is allowed if the woman undergoing an abortion gives her consent. In the video, Nucatola is heard giving a range of monetary estimates. According to Planned Parenthood, which has national offices in New York and Washington, D.C., the doctor "was speculating on the range of reimbursement that affiliates can receive after patients state they wish to donate tissue after a procedure." "At several of our health centers, we help patients who want to donate tissue for scientific research, and we do this just like every other high-quality health care provider does — with full, appropriate consent from patients and under the highest ethical and legal standards," Planned Parenthood spokesman Eric Ferrero said. Ferrero said there's no financial benefit for tissue donation for the patient or for Planned Parenthood. "In some instances, actual costs, such as the cost to transport tissue to leading research centers, are reimbursed, which is standard across the medical field," he said in a statement. That point also is conveyed by Nucatola, who says in the video, "This is not something with any revenue stream that affiliates are looking at — this is a way to offer patients the services they want and do good for the medical community." The video was produced by the Irvine, California-based Center for Medical Progress, which released it in collaboration with several national anti-abortion organizations that called for a congressional investigation."" http://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/covert-video-targets-planned-parenthood-fetal-parts-policy-32454169 And I, again, hafta point out the irony in this part of ABC's article.... "" Planned Parenthood's participation in tissue donation programs that support lifesaving scientific research."" By all means, excuse me for being sickened by that. |

So there are more than a couple issues here. Callous remarks by medical professionals are not new. I was married to a nurse for 15 years, and went to several social functions where patients and their situations/families/proclivities were openly discussed in very stark terms.
My family includes those that serve or did serve as first responders. Graphic discussions around the dinner table were the norm. These people get desensitized to their situations as a self defense mechanism. In regards to 'selling' these body parts, no matter if they are 'donated' for an amount to help defray costs or are sold to actually generate a profit, I wonder how informed the consent is on the part of the mom? Since these organs are supposedly going for research, does the mom know what it's for? I'm curious of the following scenario. Many drug companies now are harvesting vast amounts of DNA and building genome models to see what you might be susceptible to. I doubt the info is being gathered just to help you. I would suggest it's to target drug development for the highest percentages of illness. So if 80% of us are for example going to get 'hotdog fingers' when we turn 57, the drug companies are going to work like hell to get a hotdog finger drug to sell us for the next 20-30 years. NOW, if your aborted child has the DNA sequence to provide the basis for this miracle drug, what do YOU get out of it? They make BILLIONS, you get squat. If you however walked into a drug company office and made them an offer saying you can have my DNA, I just want 10% of anything you develop, do you think they would go for it? Especially IF you could track any and all use of your DNA in their processes so you don't get ripped off? Hmmmmm. Wonder if people at Planned Parenthood have any side deals with researchers or drug companies? They provide the materials, and the companies provide a path to profits? |

The temptation for me to post articles, links, YouTube links on this thread how Afro-American women have been targeted for years by Planned Parenthood.
That would of had this thread rocking & one way or another their would of been strong opinions & debate. BUT, I was too curious to see the BASIC reactions & morality. So never mind. |

More irony in this part of the article Invictus linked....
"" "Our top priority is the compassionate care that we provide"" I wonder how "compassionate" they feel when they "crush above and below" in an effort to save heart, lungs, and liver? That pig, regardless of any amount of lipstick applied, is still a pig. |

Video of another Planned Parenthood exec released....
"" A new undercover video shows a top Planned Parenthood official discussing “less crunchy” techniques to get “whole specimens” and haggling over the price of fetus tissue sales because she wants “a Lamborghini.” And the activist behind the sting operation says there's much more to come. Center for Medical Progress Project Lead David Daleiden told Fox News his group has "at least 12, really solid videos" among thousands of hours of footage. "So, we'll be doing this for the foreseeable future," Daleiden said. The video released Tuesday morning, the second put out by CMP, features a woman identified as Dr. Mary Gatter, who was president of the Planned Parenthood Medical Directors’ Council until 2014 and now works in a leadership and advisory capacity at the local and national level of the organization. Over drinks, Gatter and the undercover activists discuss “specimen” prices, eventually settling at $100 for "intact tissue." “It’s been years since I’ve talked about compensation, so let me just figure out what others are getting,” says Gatter, during a conversation alleged to have occurred on Feb. 6. “If it’s in the ballpark then that’s fine, if it’s low we can bump it up.” Gatter then turns to the women seated to her right, pats her on the shoulder, laughs and says, “I want a Lamborghini.” Asked to repeat the statement, Gatter replies, “I said, ‘I want a Lamborghini.’” It is against federal law to sell fetal body parts. Planned Parenthood has maintained it donates the specimens, charging only for the expenses it incurs. "We don't want to be in a position of being accused of selling tissue and stuff like that," Gatter says in the video. "On the other hand, there are costs associated with the use of our space, and all that kind of stuff." Daleiden said Tuesday that he believed Planned Parenthood's activities were illegal. "Our video evidence and the video evidence that CMP will continue to release over the coming weeks and months is prima facie evidence of criminal activity at the highest levels of Planned Parenthood," he said. Planned Parenthood Vice President of Communications Eric Ferrero released a statement calling the video a"heavily edited" release by "activists who have been widely discredited." Ferrero said his organization could not confirm the video's authenticity. "What we see on this tape is a woman who says 'we’re not in it for the money,' and that any money must be related to reimbursement for costs," Ferrero's statement said. The video making the rounds Tuesday was an edited 8-minute "summary" of a much longer conversation. The full video, lasting more than an hour, has also been posted online. "Anybody can go and, if they want to watch an hour to three hours of baby parts negotiations, they can judge for themselves if we just chose the highlights," Daleiden said. Planned Parenthood has received nearly $46 million in federal grants in 2015, according to government records, for non-abortion-related activities. The organization has taken in more than $207 million in federal funds since 2012. When asked on Monday if the White House would reconsider federal funding for Planned Parenthood, press secretary Josh Earnest said, “No.”" http://www.foxnews.com/us/2015/07/21/new-planned-parenthood-video-shows-top-doc-haggling-over-price-fetal-body-parts/ Video: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MjCs_gvImyw&itct=CDkQpDAYASITCImsvOW078YCFUMffgodkTQAGVIjc2Vjb25kIHBsYW5uZWQgcGFyZW50aGlpZCBleGVjdXRpdmU%3D&hl=en&client=mv-google&gl=US Full, un-edited video: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vwAGsjoorvk&itct=CDYQpDAYAiITCImsvOW078YCFUMffgodkTQAGVIjc2Vjb25kIHBsYW5uZWQgcGFyZW50aGlpZCBleGVjdXRpdmU%3D&hl=en&client=mv-google&gl=US |
