Blind-Sided Planned Parenthood Spins The Baby Body Parts Video Well, that didnt take long. The mainstream media has circled the wagons around Planned Parenthood and their senior medical director who was caught on video by actors with the Center for Medical Progress about a year ago describing how an abortion procedure can be altered to preserve internal organs of the baby. To say that the sight of the woman enthusiastically describing how she accomplishes her goals all while killing a living human and then what the value of the organs themselves is while drinking wine and eating salad was shocking is an understatement. Even the most ardent of abortion supporters about dropped their teeth at first. (Anyone else see Special Report that evening? Charles Lane was stunned.) One thing is for sure: NO ONE saw this coming. After initially not covering the news of the video itself, the mainstream media eventually gave it the time of day and in the last 24 hours pretty much parroted the Planned Parenthood multi-media releases and companion video claiming that anti-abortion extremists and conservative internet rags blew the whole thing out of proportion. Of course what Planned Parenthood is doing is legal. Besides, the video is heavily edited, just like Lila Roses stuff. (To which Ed Morrissey at HotAir points out that the entire video AND a transcript were released at the same time. Note to the harpies at Planned Parenthood: the content didnt change just because it was edited. People not under your spell understand that.) However, what should be and is most enlightening about the words of Doctor Deborah Nucatola as she describes extracting baby body parts from a mother, is outright admission that abortion kills a child. A baby. Something all of us were at one time. This is the fact that all members of the pro-life movement have been trying to convey for decades. Abortion kills. In plain language, a baby dies. Sometimes more than one. This is the reality that Planned Parenthood sidesteps with language like clump of cells and just a blastocyst and clinical terms. (Fetus is Latin for baby. Do these people think we are all so uneducated?) This is also the truth that physicians who take a pro-choice stance in regards to abortion side-step with clinical terms, thus allowing a foot in the door of accepting outright murder of a child in the womb. But, with this video, a truth that is exposed brought to light and illumined is the slippery slope of accepting one abomination after another the EXACT word Charles Krauthammer, a medical doctor by training and nominally a pro-choice one, used when he said that today its fetal parts, and eventually it will be infants. HOORAY! The concept of the ethical slope that goes downhill with the slighest chink in the armor is starting to sink in. When the video went viral, there was movement on Capitol Hill to further investigate Planned Parenthood and calls for their federal funding to be rescinded. There are at least three states reporting that they will be investigating. And all the mainstream media is interested in reporting seems to be legality even if medical ethicists are speaking out as to what the priorties should be regardless. CBS News found one physician who disagrees with the practice of trafficking fetal organs for research. Even if its done legally, medical ethicists question whether Planned Parenthood should be in the business of providing fetal tissue. Youve got to be sure that its the patient, the woman who is at the center of your concern and nothing else is diverting from that, Dr. Arthur Caplan of NYUs Langone Medical Center said. Supplying fetal tissue from the remains to third parties is diverting. I would not do it. If nothing else, the Center for Medical Progress releasing the video got the nation talking about abortion again from a number of angles. The disgust and revulsion so many people exhibited in the first 24 hours of the videos appearance is not likely to be wallpapered over by Planned Parenthood as thoroughly as they would like. What the investigations produce in the way of violations of the law is not going to effect gag reflexes across America as people try to keep down their dinner even thinking about what Nucatola described so casually, as if it were of no more consequence than a walk in the park.
