It’s time we look at banning all abortions, except those where the life of the mother is legitimately at risk. This is the 21st Century, not the Middle Ages. We know what causes pregnancies and have readily available and relatively cheap ways to prevent pregnancies. DOZENS of ways. There is no excuse for slaughtering innocent children.
It shames me to know that Americans will go down in history as the greatest mass murderers ever known, thanks to Obama, his democrats, and their buddies at Planned Parenthood and other members of the multi-billion dollar abortion industry.

At the end of World War II trials were held at Nuremberg to dispense justice to Nazis for the human atrocities they participated in. One of those atrocities was the sale of human body parts. Left over parts from the SIX MILLION Jewish men, women, and children they slaughtered.
The Nazis routinely cut the hair of Jews before sending them to the gas chambers. [then ovens] They then used the hair for wigs, to stuff cushions, as well as lining boots for U-Boat crews and making rough work clothes. A German auto parts maker was part of this scheme.
Nazis also developed a process for making soap out of human body fat, and though some experts disagree about the scale of the operation, no one argues that it wasn’t happening.
It’s also known the Nazis would take the gold teeth right out of their victim’s mouths, and sell that to help fund the war effort.
The Nazis also took the shoes their victims were wearing and reused them. They were BIG on recycling.
Nazis also confiscated wooden legs, crutches, etc:

The end result:
As evil as the Nazis were, and they were pure evil, it must be noted that democrat party approved abortionists have SLAUGHTERED more than TEN TIMES the number of innocent babies than the Nazis killed Jews during the Holocaust, and murdering innocent babies has proven to be a VERY profitable business. At roughly $800 a “procedure” these abortion mills have brought in roughly $52 BILLION [gross] since 1973. And that’s a conservative estimate!
No … Embryonic Stems Cells ARE NOT Curing Diseases, So Don’t Fall For THAT Line Of Bullshit!
One of the lies those frantically trying to justify what Planned Parenthood is doing, selling the body parts of babies they slaughter, for an additional profit, is that these “clumps of tissue“, as these sub-human bastards refer to human babies as, are “curing diseases.”
It’s been known for a LONG time that, while ADULT stem cells are capable of all kinds of miracles in medicine, embryonic stem cells are of little scientific use.
From Practical Problems with Embryonic Stem Cells: [emphasis mine]
While some researchers still claim that embryonic stem cells (ESCs) offer the best hope for treating many debilitating diseases, there is now a great deal of evidence contrary to that theory. Use of stem cells obtained by destroying human embryos is not only unethical but presents many practical obstacles as well.
Major roadblocks remain before human embryonic stem cells could be transplanted into humans to cure diseases or replace injured body parts, a research pioneer said Thursday night. University of Wisconsin scientist James Thomson said obstacles include learning how to grow the cells into all types of organs and tissue and then making sure cancer and other defects are not introduced during the transplantation. ‘I don’t want to sound too pessimistic because this is all doable, but it’s going to be very hard,’ Thomson told the Wisconsin Newspaper Association’s annual convention at the Kalahari Resort in this Wisconsin Dells town. ‘Ultimately, those transplation therapies should work but it’s likely to take a long time.’….Thomson cautioned such breakthroughs are likely decades away.”

“Although embryonic stem cells have the broadest differentiation potential, their use for cellular therapeutics is excluded for several reasons: the uncontrollable development of teratomas in a syngeneic transplantation model, imprinting-related developmental abnormalities, and ethical issues.”

From a major foundation promoting research in pancreatic islet cells and other avenues for curing juvenile diabetes:
“Is the use of embryonic stem cells close to being used to provide a supply of islet cells for transplantation into humans?
“No. The field of embryonic stem cells faces enormous hurtles to overcome before these cells can be used in humans. The two key challenges to overcome are making the stem cells differentiate into specific viable cells consistently, and controlling against unchecked cell division once transplanted. Solid data of stable, functioning islet cells from embryonic stems cells in animals has not been seen.”

“I think the chance of doing repairs to Alzheimer’s brains by putting in stem cells is small,’ said stem cell researcher Michael Shelanski, co-director of the Taub Institute for Research on Alzheimer’s Disease and the Aging Brain at the Columbia University Medical Center in New York, echoing many other experts. ‘I personally think we’re going to get other therapies for Alzheimer’s a lot sooner.’…
“[G]iven the lack of any serious suggestion that stem cells themselves have practical potential to treat Alzheimer’s, the Reagan-inspired tidal wave of enthusiasm stands as an example of how easily a modest line of scientific inquiry can grow in the public mind to mythological proportions.
“It is a distortion that some admit is not being aggressively corrected by scientists.
“‘To start with, people need a fairy tale,’ said Ronald D.G. McKay, a stem cell researcher at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. ‘Maybe that’s unfair, but they need a story line that’s relatively simple to understand.‘”

“ES [embryonic stem] cells and their derivatives carry the same likelihood of immune rejection as a transplanted organ because, like all cells, they carry the surface proteins, or antigens, by which the immune system recognizes invaders. Hundreds of combinations of different types of antigens are possible, meaning that hundreds of thousands of ES cell lines might be needed to establish a bank of cells with immune matches for most potential patients. Creating that many lines could require millions of discarded embryos from IVF clinics.”

Embryonic Stem Cell Research – Unethical and Not Working
Scientists involved in embryonic stem cell research are now admitting that they have not achieved the advancements that were sold to the public. “Many of the technologies we hyped to the general public haven’t worked yet,” Celgene Corp. president Alan Lewis said Wednesday at a biotechnology trade show in Philadelphia.
James Thomson, the Wisconsin biologist who was the first to isolate embryonic stem cells also admits they have been oversold.
At an international meeting of cloners and stem cell in San Francisco, even the most outspoken proponents of the technology concede they are years away from actual drugs based on stem cells.
Given the amount of hype and money that is being poured into ESC research, I find the news quite troubling. Individuals suffering from chronic diseases have been mislead into believing that a cure is around the corner in an effort to secure research funding. The voice of the suffering has been exploited to compel the public into supporting investigations that are speculative and unproven and that represent a significant departure from ethical standards that respect the sanctity of human life. Yet, no approved treatments have been obtained using embryonic stem cells and there are presently no therapeutic applications on the horizon.
However, the dismal track record and unattainable promises of ESC research is not the fundamental problem.
The fatal flaw of current ESC research is that scientists must “destroy” (a synonym for “kill”) a human being to extract the stem cells they need. Emotionally based appeals are made to justify the practice by demeaning the unborn and undeveloped person and claiming an embryo is not as important as someone who has developed and is in need of the embryo�s parts. However, the mystical point in time that a human embryo develops into a human who cannot be sacrificed for science is unknown.
What is known to ESC researchers is that human embryos are fully human. This is not a controversial conclusion but one supported by contemporary human embryology and developmental biology.

As The Great Ronald Reagan once pointed out: “The closest thing to life everlasting is a government program!
Embryonic stem cells aren’t working, but government gives more funding anyway:
Just before Christmas, the National Institutes of Health made three more lines of embryonic stem cells eligible for federal funding.
Could it possibly have anything to do with the fact that a month before, a major private company decided that there was no profit in embryonic stem cell research?
You see, in November, the drug company Geron announced that it would be abandoning its embryonic stem cell research program. Geron was a leader in the embryonic stem cell field, the first company to be approved to run trials with these stem cells.
Geron’s particular project — treating spinal cord injuries — was incredibly ambitious, and Geron’s willingness to spend money on it showed a seemingly unshakeable faith in the power of embryonic stem cells.
So why did Geron abandon the trial? I wish I could say that it was for ethical reasons, but that is not the case.
Its decision was due to the hard facts of economics: There’s no market for a product that doesn’t work! As you probably know, for years we’ve been told that the use of embryonic stem cells, which destroy human embryos — that is, people — will lead to miracle cures for all kinds of diseases and conditions. The problem for embryonic stem cell advocates is that they failed to produce a single cure.
Geron’s decision shows that private companies will not put funds into something which has no possibility of profit. Drug companies all the time spend billions because they know it will pay when they get the results. But the cold economic reality here was that Geron had to abandon embryonic stem cells research because it isn’t economically viable.
But economic reality is clearly no barrier to the federal government, which barely a month later decided to make more taxpayer funds available for this ethically barbaric and ultimately unprofitable line of research. Scientists want the money to do research whether there is any payoff at the end or not.
Never mind that adult stem cells, which are produced without the destruction of embryos, are continuing to show promise and are already being used to treat over 70 diseases and medical conditions. Just this year, a team of UCLA researchers showed they can be used to engineer blood cells that could attack skin cancer. They hope this discovery will lead to treatments of other types of cancer as well. And a firm in Israel has recently started using them to slow the progress of Lou Gehrig’s disease.
All of this goes to show that we can care for the sick and suffering and use the best science to help them without destroying other lives, as embryonic stem cell research does. Scientific advancement and the sacredness of human life don’t have to stand opposed to each other.
But when it looks like they do, we are right to stand for the sanctity of life.
Scientific knowledge can change, of course – in fact, it does so all the time. But the fact that human lives are precious and made in the image of God will never change. And when we ignore that, it seems like the science and even the economics don’t work out very well.
Planned Parenthood Sell Human Body Parts, For Profit
As you undoubtedly know, undercover videos have surfaced showing just how barbaric the people who work at democrat party approved Planned Parenthood are. [What a perfectly Orwellian name for a slaughterhouse such as this!]
A brand new video has dropped, third in what promises to be a long series of videos. In this video, former StemExpress employee Holly O’Donnell speaks candidly. O’Donnell, a licensed phlebotomist, unsuspectingly took a job as a “procurement technician” at the fetal tissue company and biotech start-up. “I thought I was going to be just drawing blood, not procuring tissue from aborted fetuses,” says O’Donnell, who fainted in shock on her first day of work in a Planned Parenthood clinic when suddenly asked to dissect a freshly-aborted fetus during her on-the-job training.
WARNING THESE VIDEOS CONTAIN EVIL AND DISTURBING SUBJECT MATTER
For 6 months, O’Donnell’s job was to identify pregnant women at Planned Parenthood who met criteria for fetal tissue orders and to harvest the fetal body parts after their abortions. O’Donnell describes the financial benefit Planned Parenthood received from StemExpress: “For whatever we could procure, they would get a certain percentage. The main nurse was always trying to make sure we got our specimens. No one else really cared, but the main nurse did because she knew that Planned Parenthood was getting compensated.”
Episode 1 also shows undercover video featuring the Vice President and Medical Director of Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains (PPRM) in Denver, CO, Dr. Savita Ginde. PPRM is one of the largest and wealthiest Planned Parenthood affiliates and operates clinics in Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming, and Nevada. Standing in the Planned Parenthood abortion clinic pathology laboratory, where fetuses are brought after abortions, Ginde concludes that payment per organ removed from a fetus will be the most beneficial to Planned Parenthood: “I think a per-item thing works a little better, just because we can see how much we can get out of it.”
The sale or purchase of human fetal tissue is a federal felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison or a fine of up to $500,000 (42 U.S.C. 289g-2).
Dr. Katherine Sheehan, Medical Director emerita of Planned Parenthood of the Pacific Southwest in San Diego, describes her affiliate’s long-time relationship with Advanced Bioscience Resources, a middleman company that has been providing aborted fetal organs since 1989: “We’ve been using them for over 10 years, really a long time, you know, just kind of renegotiated the contract. They’re doing the big government-level collections and things like that.”
“Planned Parenthood’s sale of aborted baby parts is an offensive and horrifying reality that is widespread enough for many people to be available to give first-person testimony about it,” notes David Daleiden, Project Lead for The Center for Medical Progress. “CMP’s investigative journalism work will continue to surface more compelling eyewitness accounts and primary source evidence of Planned Parenthood’s trafficking and selling baby parts for profit. There should be an immediate moratorium on Planned Parenthood’s taxpayer funding while Congress and the states determine the full extent of the organization’s lawbreaking.”
As expected, democrats, instead of being horrified by all of this, have sought to defend the absolute indefensible, instead. These bloodthirsty fanatics have attacked CMP, the videos’ producers, and [of course] claim the videos are either totally fake, or “highly edited.” Well, the FIRST video is almost 3 HOURS LONG! [2 hours:42 minutes:22 seconds, to be exact] If THAT ghoulish conversation is “highly edited,” I’d hate to see the evil that was left on the cutting room floor!
Video 1 IN FULL
Video 2: “I Want A Lamborghini!”
LOS ANGELES, July 21—A second undercover video shows Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s Medical Directors’ Council President, Dr. Mary Gatter, haggling over payments for intact fetal specimens and offering to use a “less crunchy technique” to get more intact body parts.
It is similar to last week’s viral video showing PPFA Senior Director of Medical Services Dr. Deborah Nucatola admitting to using partial-birth abortions to get intact parts and suggesting a price range of $30 to $100 per specimen.
Gatter is a senior official within Planned Parenthood and is President of the Medical Directors’ Council, the central committee of all Planned Parenthood affiliate medical directors.
Actors posing as buyers ask Gatter, “What would you expect for intact [fetal] tissue?”
“Well, why don’t you start by telling me what you’re used to paying!” Gatter replies.
Gatter continues: “You know, in negotiations whoever throws out the figure first is at a loss, right?” She explains, “I just don’t want to lowball,” before suggesting, “$75 a specimen.”
Gatter twice recites Planned Parenthood messaging on fetal tissue collection, “We’re not in it for the money,” and “The money is not the important thing,” but she immediately qualifies each statement with, respectively, “But what were you thinking of?” and, “But it has to be big enough that it’s worthwhile for me.”
Gatter also admits that in prior fetal tissue deals, Planned Parenthood received payment in spite of incurring no cost: “It was logistically very easy for us, we didn’t have to do anything. So there was compensation for this.” She accepts a higher price of $100 per specimen understanding that it will be only for high-quality fetal organs: “Now, this is for tissue that you actually take, not just tissue that someone volunteers and you can’t find anything, right?”
By the lunch’s end, Gatter suggests $100 per specimen is not enough and concludes, “Let me just figure out what others are getting, and if this is in the ballpark, then it’s fine, if it’s still low, then we can bump it up. I want a Lamborghini.”
The sale or purchase of human fetal tissue is a federal felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison or a fine of up to $500,000 (42 U.S.C. 289g-2).
Gatter also suggests modifying the abortion procedure to get more intact fetuses: “I wouldn’t object to asking Ian, who’s our surgeon who does the cases, to use an IPAS [manual vacuum aspirator] at that gestational age in order to increase the odds that he’s going to get an intact specimen.”
Gatter seems aware this violates rules governing tissue collection, but disregards them: “To me, that’s kind of a specious little argument.” Federal law requires that no alteration in the timing or method of abortion be done for the purposes of fetal tissue collection (42 U.S.C. 289g-1).
The video, like last week’s featuring Dr. Nucatola, was produced by The Center for Medical Progress and is part of CMP’s nearly 3-year-long investigative journalism study, “Human Capital.”
CMP’s Project Lead David Daleiden notes, “Planned Parenthood’s top leadership admits they harvest aborted baby parts and receive payments for this. Planned Parenthood’s only denial is that they make money off of baby parts, but that is a desperate lie that becomes more and more untenable as CMP reveals Planned Parenthood’s business operations and statements that prove otherwise.”
Seven State Governments have opened investigations into Planned Parenthood’s sale of aborted fetal body parts, as have three Congressional Committees. The House Energy and Commerce Committee has called PPFA’s Senior Director of Medical Services to testify this month about the organization’s fetal tissue harvesting.
God Bless Planned Parenthood ~ Barack Obama
In 2013, Barack Obama, actually made a speech sending much love to the murderous pigs at Planned Parenthood, even saying “God bless Planned Parenthood!” Evil personified!!
As long as we’ve got to fight to make sure women have access to quality, affordable health care, and as long as we’ve got to fight to protect a woman’s right to make her own choices about her own health, I want you to know that you’ve also got a president who’s going to be right there with you, fighting every step of the way,” said Obama. “Thank you, Planned Parenthood. God bless you.
Of course, this should surprise no one, as this evil little man once said he wouldn’t want his daughters “punished” with a child.
As an Illinois state Senator, this piece of human garbage successfully BLOCKED a bill [The Born Alive Infant Act] that would have OUTLAWED the practice of killing babies who SURVIVED an abortion attempt. Live, breathing, HEALTHY BABIES that are then KILLED in cold blood. This is not something a human being would ever involve himself in, let alone support.
Make no mistake, what Obama [and democrat party] approved Planned Parenthood is doing is evil, and a crime. Again, Nazis were executed as war criminals for doing EXACTLY what these money-hungry, blood thirsty ghouls at Planned Parenthood are doing …. on a MUCH larger scale.
It’s time we look at banning all abortions, except those where the life of the mother is legitimately at risk. This is the 21st Century, not the Middle Ages. We know what causes pregnancies and have readily available and relatively cheap ways to prevent pregnancies. DOZENS of ways. There is no excuse for slaughtering innocent children.
It shames me to know that Americans will go down in history as the greatest mass murderers ever known, thanks to Obama, his democrats, and their buddies at Planned Parenthood and other members of the multi-billion dollar abortion industry.
