Recently, the Center for Medical Progress exposed a dark truth concerning Planned Parenthood and their procedures for selling the body parts of aborted babies. The Center sent people undercover, who caught on camera the shocking details from Dr. Deborah Nuctola, the Senior Director, Medical Services at Planned Parenthood Federation of America. 
Here’s a link to a video posted by the Center for Medical Progress showing some highlights from the conversation recorded with Dr. Nuctola. .https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjxwVuozMnU The full coverage can be found here, be warned it is rather lengthy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4UjIM9B9KQ
The footage is powerful and speaks for itself. She talks about the specific body parts that customers request. How someone wanted lungs, how livers are popular, and intact hearts are desirable for their specific nodes. Later on, she admits that when the abortionist knows what part is needed that can alter how the abortionist goes about the procedure to ensure that body part remains intact.
“Buyer: How much of a difference can that actually make, if you know of what’s expected or what we need, versus
Dr. Nuctola: It makes a huge difference. I’d say a lot of people want liver.
Buyer: Mhmm
Dr. Nuctola: And for that reason, most providers will do this case under ultrasound guidence, so they’ll know where they are putting their forceps.…we’ve been very good at getting heart, lung, and liver because we know that, so I’m not going to crush that part, I’m going to crush below, I’m going to crush above, and I’m going to see if I can get it all intact.”
Her descriptions are vivid, too vivid sometimes. The first time I watched the video I had to stop, it was too much. I could not help but wonder: does she know she’s talking about unborn babies and not just some thing that will be sold for profit? Her collected composure and natural conversation make the clips more disturbing. Her tone suggests normalcy of not just abortions, but also the selling of body parts.
I went back and tried watching it again and was amazed to find that some of the procedures they use to help keep the baby’s parts intact is equal to the illegal partial birth abortion. When she mentions the law that bans partial birth abortions, she immediately followed with saying,
“laws are up to interpretation. If I say on day one I do not intend to do this, what ultimately happens does not matter.”
Watch the video, hear her words for yourself. If it is not already clear to you that Planned Parenthood’s end goal is centered on profit it will become so. They are a business that makes money off of killing the unborn and their victims’ body parts. Usually, people get to decide whether or not to become organ donors, aborted babies do not get to make that choice.
The reaction to this video has been mixed.
Nuctola reportedly deleted her twitter account soon after the video went public. Planned Parenthood through their public relations firm can be quoted as describing their selling of the body parts as a “humanitarian undertaking.” They actually do not refer to the aborted babies’ body parts as such; rather they use the word “tissue.” Some democrats have come to their defense. Other democrats, including Hillary Clinton seem to be ignoring the entire situation and have yet to comment.
The media including NBC, ABC, CBS have made it a very low priority in the news. They deemed it so unimportant that little time or attention has been given to it thus far. This probably means that many people do not know that there are those in office who are crying out against Planned Parenthood and some are launching investigations into the company, such as presidential hopeful Louisiana’s Governor, Bobby Jindal. He launched a state investigation into Planned Parenthood on July 14, 2015. 
So it seems that despite most of the media’s attempts to shut this story down, they will not be able to stop Governors, Congressmen, or Senators from speaking out and taking action against Planned Parenthood. They will not be able to control people’s opinions when they do finally find out the truth.
Planned Parenthood may have been more fully exposed; nevertheless, there is a great chance more disturbing business practices will be revealed.
