“This Could Destroy . . . Us”. . . Tenth Video’s Incriminating Words Show PP Worry Of Being Exposed

September 22, 2015 Frontpage No Comments

By DEXTER DUGGAN

“Tissue” is what Planned Parenthood says to the media when the subject of harvesting unborn babies’ body parts wedges itself unwelcomed into the news these days as another Center for Medical Progress (CMP) video is released.
It’s the same word that dominantly pro-abortion media obediently use and repeat, just “tissue.”
Might as well be talking about facial tissue, or that tissue on the roller in the bathroom. Something just for wiping up with and discarding.
When PP asks abortion clients to consent to “donate” their surgical results, it’s also just “tissue” being sought. The client isn’t compensated financially for providing her baby’s body material. She is charged for having it “terminated.” The abortuary makes a profit off it not once but twice.
Can you imagine asking the driver of your city’s recycling-collection truck at the curb to compensate you for all the empty tissue boxes and used cardboard rollers you’re throwing away? How about $100 per piece of cardboard?
But $100 or higher is the type of figure thrown around by abortion suppliers and procurers when they talk among themselves on the price of the supposedly useless scraps of aborted “tissue.” This flesh has high-dollar flash to them.
And they don’t say “tissue” to each other. That’d be like a carpenter talking vaguely about the price of “wood” he’s being contracted to work on. Does he need plywood? Oak? Mahogany? Is he supposed to build a toy box or a cabinet for fine china? A customized casket?
The abortion industry gets specific when it’s talking workday harvesting. What are the orders being placed for? Hearts, livers, lungs, brains, heads, eyes, spinal cords, testicles. The organs that are so valueless to the baby victims having them yanked out are splendidly valuable to researchers who want material from — not pizza pies or muskrats, but from little humans.
You know with all your own mind and heart — and wasn’t it kind of your mother to let you keep them for yourself? — that when an abortion client is asked to “consent” for donation, she isn’t given a checklist of her baby’s various body parts she’d like to have harvested. That stark reality would kill the consent deal, and probably the abortion appointment, awfully fast.
In video after video, the CMP has shown body-parts suppliers and procurers eating, drinking, and laughing as they chat about specific body parts of aborted babies. Crushing the babies is a topic no more serious than swatting a fly. These adult humans at the dining table are absolutely inhuman in the way they’ve dehumanized living babies on the execution table.
Pitiless National Socialist Aryan “supermen” conducting research for “Angel of Death” Dr. Josef Mengele come to mind.
Hey, Andy Rosenthal, editorial-page editor of the pro-abortion New York Times, aren’t you glad you didn’t have your own dissected “tissue” going into a casserole dish just before you had the privilege of being born? But if your shreds had decorated a plate, now you’d be just a little unknown zero in history, like all the defenseless unborn babies you cheer into oblivion.
Same for you, Dean Baquet, Times executive editor and master abortion propaganda enabler. If eugenicist Margaret Sanger had had her way with you, you wouldn’t be around to give any interviews about your African-American heritage and having attended Catholic high school in New Orleans.
No story about you in the Josephite religious order’s Harvest magazine reporting on the lives of black Catholics. Just the harvest of your little, anonymous organs by parts-hungry procurers.
We know that even if PP President Cecile Richards marched into The New York Times newsroom, displayed her passport photo and shouted, “I’m responsible for the killing of a thousand babies a day,” Times executives would scratch their heads and say, “Hmm, what was that sound? Must be a breeze from the air conditioning.”
So don’t expect the plainly incriminating words by PP executives in the tenth video released by the CMP on September 15 to rustle any interest at the somnolent Times.
Avoiding leaving a paper trail and not connecting the dots in conversations about compensation are very much on Planned Parenthood minds. Obeying “ridiculous” laws is laughed off. They talk about potentially disastrous headlines and about abortion organizations that could be destroyed.
A September 15 CMP news release about the latest video said: “Vanessa Cullins, the vice president of External Medical Affairs, seems fully aware of the criminal exposure that fetal body-parts sales present to Planned Parenthood: ‘This is important. This could destroy your organization and us, if we don’t time those conversations correctly,’ she tells a prospective buyer.”
Deborah VanDerhei, the national director of PP’s Consortium of Abortion Providers, says: “I have been talking to the executive director of the National Abortion Federation, we’re trying to figure this out as an industry, about how we’re going to manage remuneration, because the headlines would be a disaster.”
The conservative Washington Free Beacon website reported on September 15:
“Staffers from the Center for Medical Progress posed as prospective organ buyers while speaking with the Planned Parenthood executives. VanDerhei told them that Planned Parenthood staffers prefer to discuss organ sales in person, without leaving a paper trail. They feared . . . a public and media backlash if the practice was put in the spotlight.
“If they do it, that’s fine. We’re not going to say no, but we want them to really think about The New York Times’ headline,” the Free Beacon quoted her. “The headlines would be a disaster. . . . It’s an issue you might imagine that we’re not comfortable talking about on email. And so we want to have the conversation in person.”
Amusingly, VanDerhei’s reference to a potentially damaging Times headline raised the question whether she’s even aware the newspaper is perhaps PP’s strongest media propagandist and defender. The Free Beacon noted recent Times headlines stomping not on PP over its baby butchering but on opposition to PP.
Blogger Samuel James wrote at the Patheos website on September 15: “We know by now what Planned Parenthood does with unborn children (and possibly with live-born children, too). What this video demonstrates is a clear intentionality by Planned Parenthood to obfuscate its organ-trafficking operations by leaving as little a paper trail as possible.
“The reason? Any incisive investigation into this operation would have found exactly what the Center for Medical Progress found. These videos are the reason Planned Parenthood warns local branches about discussing prices. They don’t want coverage of what goes on there,” James said, adding that for the most part, media still aren’t providing that coverage.
The CMP news release also quoted Dr. Carolyn Westhoff, senior medical adviser for the Planned Parenthood Federation of America:
“ ‘We’ve just been working with people who want particular tissues, like, you know, they want cardiac, or they want eyes, or they want neural,’ says Dr. Westhoff to a prospective fetal organ buyer. ‘Certainly, everything we provide — oh, gonads! Oh my God, gonads. Everything we provide is fresh.’
“Westhoff continues, ‘Obviously, we would have the potential for a huge PR issue in doing this,’ before offering to introduce the buyers to ‘national office abortion people’ from Planned Parenthood,” the news release said.
The Washington Standard website quoted Vanessa Russo, Compliance Program administrator for Planned Parenthood Keystone in Pennsylvania, minimizing legal concerns:
“I sort of, my stance on that is like, we feel like we can’t consent to be bullied by ridiculous laws, and this media that doesn’t understand the big picture. And I don’t really think that we should participate in that level of discussion, and that we should operate as an organization the way any other organization would.”
Russo goes on to say that “we should not curtail our business for ridiculousness. . . . A company like this that wants to give our organization money for the tissue, I think that that’s a valid exchange. And that’s okay.”

The Burden Is On Obama

In a statement to The Wanderer, Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the pro-life Susan B. Anthony List, said the burden is on Barack Obama to try to justify why he insists on tax funding for PP.
“It is up to President Obama to make clear why he believes our government has no higher priority than guaranteeing that the abortion industry can continue the piecemeal sale of baby body parts — ‘fresh’ liver, eyes, brain, gonads, and more — without losing a dime of taxpayer dollars,” Dannenfelser said.
The SBA List promotes the election of pro-life women to political office.
Dannenfelser also said: “Taxpayer dollars should not be going to an organization whose abortionists strategically ‘crush,’ and use ‘less crunchy’ means to turn a profit from the broken bodies of aborted children.
“Now is the moment for Congress to make the case that Planned Parenthood — the nation’s largest abortion enterprise — should be defunded of the more than 500 million taxpayer dollars it receives each year, and that the funding should be redirected to more comprehensive health-care centers. No one should feel comfortable affixing his or her name to a budget that prolongs this atrocity,” she said.
