Like the Planned Parenthood mega-abortionists they support, national Democrat Party leaders grimly refuse to see the evidence of slaughter before their eyes while they try to crush the opposition to crushing helpless infants.
Veteran Cong. Elijah Cummings (D., Md.) was among Democrats excusing PP’s assault on babies and the law even while they pushed an attack against the Center for Medical Progress (CMP), whose sting videos have exposed the abortion giant’s barbarity, according to an October 6 report.
“We believe it is inappropriate for the (House Oversight) committee to continue harassing Planned Parenthood for political reasons — with no evidence of any wrongdoing,” Cummings and others complained, the Washington Examiner reported.
The videos clearly have shown PP officials talking about illegally altering abortion procedures so as better to obtain organs, and illegally negotiating about getting a better financial return for providing the organs to procurers.
The tenth video, released September 15, plainly showed PP officials talking about evading the law, including warning against the timing of conversations that “could destroy your organization and us,” about avoiding leaving an email trail, and cautioning about causing “headlines (that) would be a disaster.”
Meanwhile, CMP leader David Daleiden and Lila Rose, president of the pro-life Live Action, appeared on TheBlaze TV with new sting footage of a Texas PP abortionist graphically talking about obtaining organs by extracting babies as she removes their “lower extremities and then go(es) for the spine and sort of break(s) it down that way. . . .
“I always try to and keep the trunk intact, just by function. I always try to aim for a spine to bring it down,” abortionist Amna Dermish, MD, of Planned Parenthood Greater Texas, says in a video reported on October 6 by The Christian Post.
The story was headlined, “Planned Parenthood Abortionist Jokes About Harvesting Intact Brains From Aborted Babies in New Video.”
The abortionist talks about obtaining intact organs by manipulating the baby into the breech position and then grasping the spine, the story said.
Coincidentally, LifeNews.com carried a report on October 6 about high-volume abortionist Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast, in Houston, having called at least ten ambulances so far in 2015 for medical emergencies for patients in its facility.
The PP caller to 911 for a medical emergency on August 4 identified herself as “Tram.”
The LifeNews.com story said: “This is Tram Nguyen, who is the director of the Ambulatory Surgery Center, Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast, in Houston, Texas. Nguyen is featured in the Center for Medical Progress video released on August 4, 2015 — ironically the same day as the botched abortion — titled ‘Intact Fetuses “Just a Matter of Line Items” for Planned Parenthood Texas Mega-Center’.”
This video, the fifth in the series, showed PP workers picking over the body parts of aborted babies and included Nguyen commenting on the ease of obtaining infants’ eyeballs.
“Orbits (eyeballs) are so easy, like, 95 percent of the time,” the LifeNews.com article quoted her.
Unlike the Republican Party, many of whose conflict-averse leaders have spent decades trying to avoid the permissive-abortion issue, PP and its Democrats stay on the offensive for continuing massive abortion.
Momentarily set back on their heels by GOP presidential candidate Carly Fiorina’s recent attacks on the abortion giant’s barbarity, its leader, PP President Cecile Richards, called Fiorina a liar on NBC’s Meet the Press on October 4.
Fiorina had said, “Planned Parenthood is aborting fetuses, alive, to harvest their brains and other body parts. That is a fact.”
Richards shot back on October 4, according to the Washington Examiner: “It is extraordinary that someone running for president would lie in that way. That has been completely discredited by every reputable news source, and yet Carly Fiorina seems to continue to repeat the same lie.”
The following day Fiorina strongly responded, saying that Richards probably should resign her position, although that wouldn’t fully solve the problem.
The Hill national political website quoted Fiorina: “Unless something fundamental changes, that we stop funding these people with taxpayer dollars, that they are actually investigated and prosecuted, the reality is nothing’s really going to change.”
Fiorina also said, according to The Hill, “The problem is, Cecile Richards stepping down won’t solve any of that. I’m not saying Cecile Richards shouldn’t step down, I’m just saying it’s the tip of the iceberg.”
The CMP videos have been a drastic blow to PP, not only bringing the abortion giant into an unaccustomed harsh light of reality but also showing the brutally callous talk of its abortionists and the mangled bodies of their victims.
PP’s response has been to attack the videos as highly misleading or, in at least one case, even nonexistent. NBC host Chuck Todd obediently echoed the line by calling them “controversial and highly edited” when he introduced Richards for the October 4 Meet the Press.
However, the Washington Examiner pointed out on October 4, Todd omitted mentioning that the videos were authenticated in a September 28 report by the independent, highly respected digital forensic analysis company Coalfire Systems, Inc.
The report concluded: “Coalfire’s analysis of the recorded media files contained on the flash drive indicates that the video recordings are authentic and show no evidence of manipulation or editing.”
On October 1, Mollie Hemingway, a senior editor at The Federalist website, noted that Planned Parenthood’s media defenders entirely ignored the Coalfire report. They’d loudly promoted the PP propaganda line of “deceptive editing.” When the propaganda was disproved, they kept quiet, not even acknowledging having received copies of the report sent to them personally.
Hemingway observed: “The media corruption on this topic (of the videos) is so deep and so vast that fighting it can seem like trying to stop a high-powered locomotive by standing in front of it. But in the hope that any portion of the populace — regardless of their views on abortion or affiliated practices — cares about the media having any healthy relationship to truth, media critics should record what’s happened since mid-July, when this story broke.”
Grasping for any straw, PP media defenders have said an aborted baby shown in the seventh CMP video wasn’t the same aborted baby that procurement technician Holly O’Donnell described harvesting the brain from at Planned Parenthood’s Mar Monte clinic in San Jose, Calif.
However, O’Donnell wasn’t working as an undercover investigator fitted with a hidden camera, as CMP’s investigators were. She actually was a procurement worker who later repentantly told her story to CMP.
The seventh video provided images of two other babies at approximately the same age as the one O’Donnell harvested from, as a comparison of what they look like. One was a prematurely delivered baby who died, the other was an aborted baby in a metal pan.
As various pro-lifers pointed out repeatedly, media articles often are illustrated with images that are similar to the topic of the report — such as a particular type of airplane that was in a crash, without being the exact same plane that crashed.
The usefulness of the image is understood, and no complaints of deception are raised — unless a critic is desperate to conjure up any howl.
