Planned Parenthood accused of selling body parts
According to reports, a video released on Tuesday showed a physician at Planned Parenthood talking about the sale of fetal body parts following an abortion. The video has been released by the anti-abortion group Center for Medical Progress.
According to the family planning provider, the video is not a truth because it has been edited selectively to give the wrong impression to viewers regarding fetal tissue donations that are legal, and are done for their use in medical research, not to gain profit.
The video is showing Dr. Deborah Nucatola, Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s Senior Director of Medical Services, in which she is explaining that she will make attempts to remove fetal organs and body parts intact in the process of abortion for patients who wantto contribute in research by donating them. As per the video, she is talking to an activist who seems to be a "fetal tissue procurement company”.
Nucatola is saying in the video that there are a number of patientswho want to donate their tissue, and they look forward to accommodating them.
According to Lila Rose, the president of the activist group Live Action that has been producing the edited "sting" videos related to Planned Parenthood since long, "The exploitation of human life, the cover-up, and the black market profiteering by America’s largest abortion chain is not only egregious and heartbreaking, but exposes how the abortion giant is corrupt to the core — from the CEO, Cecile Richards, down to the local clinic". The video has spread quickly over social media sites.
