Top Planned Parenthood Doc Admits, on Live Video, To Peddling Aborted Baby Body Parts, Apparently Illegally
And from the media-- a Gosnellian silence.
You can't spin this. This is ugly, this is illegal, and this is an emotional story that tends to remind people of the tangible end-product of an abortion.
The pro-choice propagandists prefer to keep this all on an airy plane, speaking only of abstract "freedom to choose," avoiding mention of what is being sought to be chosen, or what that choice actually entails.
So the media does not want to cover this -- and just as in the Gosnell case, they won't.
Here's the thing:
There is no spin more perfect than perfect silence -- which you can get away with, when one political party and nearly the whole of the media are now united into one unacknowledged combine-corporation, a mediopolitical corporate
keiretsu.
A shocking new expose' video has caught Planned Parenthood's top doctor describing how the abortion business sells the body parts of aborted babies.
New undercover footage shows Planned Parenthood Federation of America's Senior Director of Medical Services, Dr. Deborah Nucatola, describing how Planned Parenthood sells the body parts of aborted unborn children and admitting she uses partial-birth abortions to supply intact body parts.
In the video, Nucatola is at a business lunch with actors posing as buyers from a human biologics company. As head of PPFA's Medical Services department, Nucatola has overseen medical practice at all Planned Parenthood locations since 2009. She also trains new Planned Parenthood abortion doctors and performs abortions herself at Planned Parenthood Los Angeles up to 24 weeks.
Nucatola admits that Planned Parenthood charges per-specimen for baby body parts, uses illegal partial-birth abortion procedures in order to get salable parts, and is aware of their own liability for doing so and takes steps to cover it up.
...
The buyers ask Nucatola, "How much of a difference can that actually make, if you know kind of what's expected, or what we need?"
"It makes a huge difference," Nucatola replies. "I'd say a lot of people want liver. And for that reason, most providers will do this case under ultrasound guidance, so they'll know where they're putting their forceps. The kind of rate--limiting step of the procedure is calvarium. Calvarium--the head--is basically the biggest part."
Again, the resort to abstraction, looking through the distancing prism of Latinate sciencisms. It's not a baby's head -- that term is too direct, too evocative, too tangible, too real.
It's a mere calvarium.
We can't sweat a calvarium, can we?
Nucatola explains, "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."
"And with the calvarium, in general, some people will actually try to change the presentation so that it's not vertex," she continues. "So if you do it starting from the breech presentation, there's dilation that happens as the case goes on, and often, the last step, you can evacuate an intact calvarium at the end."
Federal law prohibits the sale of body parts of aborted babies. In fact, the sale or purchase of human fetal tissue a federal felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $500,000 (42 U.S.C. 289g-2).
I'm not an abortionist but my sense of what she just said is this:
We perform partial-birth abortions, even when not medically called for, because that gives us the greatest chance to harvest organs from aborted babies.
I'm sure the media will do follow-ups to confirm that's what she meant, or not.
Yes, another Gosnellian Silence; for when you cannot spin an issue to the left's ends,
you simply suppress the story entirely.
