Ethics of Planned Parenthood is Death


The Dems, baby-killing pro-choice murderers and Left Wing Depopulation proponents all suggest that Planned Parenthood alleged pro-women health is an above board legal operating non-profit organization. It’s ALL horse crapola!

Bioethicist: Babies likely born alive at Planned Parenthood so their brains can be harvested

October 30, 2015 10:15 AM

Dr. Dennis Sullivan, director of the Center for Bioethics at Cedarville University, has shared his observations regarding the most recent undercover Planned Parenthood video, calling out the “callousness and indifference” of the abortionists, and declaring that he’s faced with the “unavoidable conclusion” that some fetuses might be “born alive.”

The 11th video, released this week by the Center for Medical Progress, seems to indicate that Dr. Amna Dermish is actually admitting to performing an illegal abortion procedure. Dermish claims she was trained by Senior Director of Medical Services at Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Dr. Deborah Nucatola, who was caught on tape describing how she “crushes” babies in various spots to enable the harvesting of intact organs.

In the video, Dermish describes how she will sometimes turn a baby breech – to be delivered feet-first – during an abortion.

“I can if I need to. […] I don’t usually do it in the 16 to 18 weeks,” she explained. “With a further gestation I will sometimes do that if it’s a cephalic presentation [head-first], just because it’s easier to get.”

Sullivan explained that this technique Dermish is discussing is a standard part of the illegal procedure commonly known as partial-birth abortion.

“This allows delivery of the still-alive fetus without much dilation of the woman’s cervix,” he explained. “Typically, then, in a [partial-birth] abortion, scissors are inserted into the back of the skull and suction used to evacuate the brain, thus collapsing the skull, and making it easy to deliver the head without further dilation.”

#PPSellsBabyParts PLANNED PARENTHOOD TX DOC: HARVESTING INTACT FETAL HEADS “WILL GIVE ME SOMETHING TO STRIVE FOR” 

Dr. Amna Dermish, Planned Parenthood Late-Term Abortion Doctor in Austin, TX, Taught by PPFA Senior Director of Medical Services Dr. Deborah Nucatola to Use Partial-Birth Abortions For Intact Fetuses 

Contact: Peter Robbio, probbio@crcpublicrelations.com, 703.683.5004 

AUSTIN, Oct. 27--The eleventh video release from The Center for Medical Progress in the ongoing Planned Parenthood baby parts scandal shows the abortion doctor for Planned Parenthood in Austin, TX, Dr. Amna Dermish, describing a partial-birth abortion procedure to terminate living, late-term fetuses which she hopes will yield intact fetal heads for brain harvesting. 

Dr. Dermish admits she was trained by the Senior Director of Medical Services at Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Dr. Deborah Nucatola. Nucatola described a partial-birth abortion technique to harvest fetal organs in the first Planned Parenthood video released July 14 by CMP. 

“My aim is usually to get the specimens out pretty intact,” says Dermish, speaking to actors posing as a fetal tissue procurement company. Dermish admits that she will sometimes use ultrasound guidance to convert a 2nd-trimester fetus to a feet-first breech presentation: “Especially the 20-weekers are a lot harder versus the 18-weekers, so at that point I’ll switch to breech.” 

“That’s what Deb [Nucatola] was telling us, was it really makes a difference for tissue collection at PPLA,” says one of the actors, referencing Nucatola’s technique for organ harvesting. “It’s really nice when it’s, yeah--I trained with her,” replies Dermish. 

In reply to a question about harvesting fetal brain, Dermish notes, “I haven’t been able to do that yet,” but exclaims with laughter, “This will give me something to strive for!” 

Dermish does not use the chemical digoxin to kill the fetus before 20 weeks, so her feet-first, intact extraction abortions are done on living fetuses. Using ultrasound guidance to manipulate the fetus from vertex to breech orientation before extracting the yet-living fetus is a hallmark of the illegal partial-birth abortion procedure (18 U.S.C. 1531). 

Dermish also affirms a fetal body part price of $50 or $60 per specimen. The sale or purchase of human fetal tissue is 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). 

The state of Texas recently moved to disbar Planned Parenthood from taxpayer funding on account of Medicaid fraud and abortion-related crimes. Governor Greg Abbott recently said in an interview that the state of Texas is now in possession of “hard evidence” that Planned Parenthood is engaged in “violations of federal and state law concerning abortion procedures.” 

“Less than 4 miles away from the Texas state capitol, Planned Parenthood routinely practices barbaric partial-birth abortions on living, late-term fetuses,” notes CMP Project Lead David Daleiden. “Planned Parenthood’s crimes are not just the result of local bad actors, but are tolerated and even encouraged at the highest levels of the national organization. State-level criminal investigations must press charges, and Congress’ new select committee must pursue a deep and comprehensive accounting of Planned Parenthood’s atrocities against humanity.”

Sullivan goes on to explain that the video may expose a much more gruesome reality: babies being delivered alive, then killed in order to harvest organs. He believes the dialogue shows that abortionists want to provide researchers with intact brains. To do this, he said, they would not be able to use the scissors and suction techniques of partial-birth abortion, as it would destroy the brain tissue they are looking to procure.

“So how do they insure that the fetus dies before delivery? In the video, Dr. Dermish clearly states that she does not use digitalis to stop the heart unless the fetus is 20 weeks or older,” Sullivan said. “So I’m left with the unavoidable conclusion that some of these fetuses are born alive, then killed after birth. If true, this is a clear violation of federal law.”

New video catches Planned Parenthood abortionist describing harvesting baby’s brains

VIDEO: Planned Parenthood TX Abortion Apprentice Taught Partial-Birth Abortion to "Strive For" Intact Heads [Blog Editor: Same video as in the Life Action News story above.]

AUSTIN, TX, October 27, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) - Abortion workers sometimes like to look at the dissected body parts of the babies they have aborted, because their organs are "cute," an abortionist admits in a new video released by the Center for Medical Progress.

"One of our POC [point of care] persons is really into organ development," Dr. Amna Dermish, an abortionist with Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas' Austin location, says in an undercover video released this morning. "She'll pull out, like, kidneys and heart. The heart we frequently see at nine weeks. She always looks for it."

"Just like for fun?" the buyer, who introduces himself as "Robert Sarkis," asks.

"Well, it's cute," another abortion worker, from Whole Women's Health in Texas, replies.

"I have so much respect for [fetal] development," Dermish says. "It's just so incredible."

CMP's lead investigator, David Daleiden, has said the abortionists he encountered during his 30-month-long undercover investigation were more honest about the life of the unborn than abortion industry lobbyists.

In recently leaked undercover footage of the 38th annual meeting of the National Abortion Federation (NAF) held in San Francisco early last April, an abortionist says that "ignoring the fetus is a luxury of activists and advocates."

"If you're a provider, you can't ignore the fetus, right, because the fetus is your marker of how well - how good a job you did."

She admits abortion causes "violence," and says the unborn baby is "a person."


Much of the footage in today's CMP video debuted on October 5 during an interview Daleiden gave on The Blaze TV with Live Action founder Lila Rose. Live Action has announced it will soon release a new undercover series of videos "to expose the true nature of abortion and give viewers an encounter with the humanity of the preborn child."

In the video Dermish says that removing an aborted baby's skull and brain intact will "give me something to strive for." She regrets that she has not yet mastered the technique.

She said that she does not use digoxin to kill the child by lethal injection. But she sometimes converts the child to an inverted, breech (feet-first) presentation.

"I don't usually do it with the 16 to 18 weeks, because I don't really need to," she said. "With the further gestation, I will sometimes do that if it's a cephalic [standard, head-first] presentation just because it's easier to get" the requested organs.

Converting a child to the breech position is the first step of the partial birth abortion procedure. The procedure has been illegal since President Bush signed legislation in 2003 making it a federal felony punishable by two years in prison and a fine of $250,000.

Dr. Deborah Nucatola, the senior director of medical services at Planned Parenthood, admitted to performing a procedure that sounds like partial birth abortion in CMP's first video, released July 14. Investigators filmed Dr. Nucatola sipping wine and munching salad as she described less "crunchy" forms of abortion that allow her to "try to get it [the baby] all intact."

When "Sarkis" mentions "Deb," who oversees medical procedures at all Planned Parenthood facilities, Dermish smiles. "I trained with her,” Dermish says.

At one point, the video shows the two in side-by-side footage making the same hand motions as they describe their abortion technique.

Planned Parenthood has yet to respond to describe how this procedure differs from the prohibited partial birth abortion procedure. However, officials have been quick to try to undo the public relations damage caused by CMP.

"Actually, the people in those videos are amazing and compassionate and wonderful doctors and staff of Planned Parenthood," Dawn Laguens, Planned Parenthood's executive vice president, said in a televised interview excerpted in the new video.

Texas state officials have investigated the Austin facility - and all state abortion facilities - on the basis of CMP's videos.

“Earlier this year, you committed and condoned numerous acts of misconduct captured on video that reveal repeated program violations and breach the minimum standards of care required of a Medicaid enrollee,” Stuart Bowen Jr., the Inspector General in the state's Health and Human Services Commission, wrote in a letter to Planned Parenthood last Monday.

The letter informed the local affiliate that Texas would kick Planned Parenthood out of the state's Medicaid program.

Last Thursday, Texas inspectors raided Planned Parenthood facilities across the state as part of an unspecified investigation, which those close to it say is to investigate fraud, as well as the revelations in the recent videos.

“Less than 4 miles away from the Texas state capitol, Planned Parenthood routinely practices barbaric partial-birth abortions on living, late-term fetuses,” Daleiden said this morning. “Planned Parenthood’s crimes are not just the result of local bad actors, but are tolerated and even encouraged at the highest levels of the national organization. State-level criminal investigations must press charges, and Congress’ new select committee must pursue a deep and comprehensive accounting of Planned Parenthood’s atrocities against humanity.”

Govt. Temporarily Refunded - Baby Parts Keep Rolling


John R. Houk
© October 1, 2015

WARNING! – Graphic Video toward bottom – Children should not see this

Congress passed a Continuing Resolution (CR) yesterday to keep the government funded yesterday. The controversy in this 9/30/15 CR was it kept the baby killing and baby parts selling organization Planned Parenthood fully funded. Apparently ALL the Democrats made sure the baby killing and the trafficking in baby parts continued. Sadly the Republicans split on murdering babies and trafficking in live baby parts with the majority voting no for the CR.

The Senate easily approved the interim funding measure earlier Wednesday on a vote of 78-20. 
 While Congress has funded the government at least through December, the the [sic] funding of Planned Parenthood has angered conservative Republicans who argue GOP leadership has not fought hard enough for their values. 
 Indeed, the measure passed with a majority of Democratic votes — 186 Democrats voted in favor of the spending bill and 151 Republicans voted against it. Ninety-one Republicans voted for the short-term funding measure. President Obama is expected to sign it today, before funding expires at midnight. (SHUTDOWN AVERTED: HOUSE PASSES FUNDING BILL DESPITE MAJORITY OF GOP ‘NO’ VOTES; By CAROLINE MAY; Breitbart.comBig Government; 9/30/15)

I haven’t checked to see how many GOP Senators voted for the CR but it must have been a bunch for a 70-20 favorable vote. In the HOUSE NINETY-ONE Republicans voted for baby killing and marketing live baby parts in the name of keeping the government afloat.

On Wednesday September 16 on the CNN-GOP debate Carly Fiorina gave a vivid description of harvesting a live baby for body parts (which means a live birth then murdered and then dissected for internal organs). The Leftists cried boohoo and foul for the CMP video exposés implicating Planned Parenthood had no action of Fiorina’s description but only a description. THE THING IS Carly was talking about some video action that was not a part of CMP video releases. As a reminder, here’s what Carly Fiorina ACCURATELY described:



I can’t assert this is the specific video that Presidential candidate for the GOP nomination viewed, but it is remarkably similar to her description. Due to the graphic nature I am beginning with the Youtube description first. Then I will show the roughly fifteen minute video.

Carly Fiorina was right 
Published by AbortionNo 
Published on Sep 29, 2015  
Carly Fiorina, CNN Republican presidential debate, September 16, 2015: 

“Watch a fully formed fetus on the table, its heart beating, its legs kicking, while someone says, ‘We have to keep it alive to harvest its brain.’ This is about the character of our nation, and if we will not stand up and force President Obama to veto this [Planned Parenthood defunding] bill, shame on us.” 

Ms. Fiorina was referring to a Center for Bio-Ethical Reform (CBR) video depicting a few seconds of a 17-½ week fetus, still alive and moving, following an intact-delivery abortion. Here we post the entire unedited video. The total running time is approximately 13 minutes and the video is in five segments as the camera operator turns the camera on and off. 

CBR and the Center for Medical Progress (CMP), in whose undercover Planned Parenthood investigative video the CBR abortion footage appears, have been falsely accused of misrepresenting a miscarriage as an abortion. The first segment of the unedited video depicts the abortion itself, with the baby delivered alive and struggling in the abortionist’s gloved hand. Segments 2 and 3 depict the baby still moving in a stainless steel pan after repeatedly being handled abusively by the abortionist. Segments 4 and 5 are static gynecological shots of the baby’s mother. 

This unedited version of the disputed footage proves incontestably that this termination is an abortion. Mothers at risk of miscarriage present at hospitals, not abortion clinics. Hospitals are in the business of sustaining pregnancies and saving babies. Abortion clinics are in the business of terminating pregnancies and killing babies. This video depicts a termination and the subsequent abuse and neglect of a preemie obviously delivered alive. No attempt is made to provide the neonatal intensive care a hospital would extend to a wanted baby. It is possible that the abortionists performing this termination violated both state and federal law by withholding care from a baby who survived an abortion. 

Ms. Fiorina made reference to a baby’s heart still beating while its brain was being harvested (a process which Planned Parenthood’s senior director of medical services calls “digging”) and a former StemExpress “procurement technician” says, “I’m sitting here and I’m looking at this fetus and its heart is beating, and I don’t know what to think” (National Review, August 19, 2015). 
The article adds that “… her StemExpress supervisor instructed her to cut through the face of the fetus in order to get the brain.” 

The unedited version of this abortion depicts an intact-delivery termination and Planned Parenthood partner StemExpress admits through its CEO (Cate Dyer), “Oh yeah, if you had intact cases, which we’ve done a lot, we sometimes ship those back to our lab in its entirety …” (The Daily Signal, August 21, 2015).
A World Magazine article, August 19, 2015, describes “… an aborted baby’s beating heart, a post-abortion occurrence that’s not uncommon, according to Ben Van Handel, executive director of Novogenix Laboratories.” 

Ms. Fiorina’s characterizations are not hyperbole. 

The terms of our abortion clinic access agreements explicitly forbid us from disclosing any information which could identify the abortion providers from whose clinics we obtain imagery. Dates, locations, affiliations and staff and patient information are confidential. Violating these prohibitions could subject CBR to legal liability and jeopardize clinic access for current and future projects. We are even obligated to delete the audio track on all of our videos. 

The Grantham Collection is a component of the CBR abortion imagery archive. Questions related to this very disturbing video should be directed to Gregg Cunningham, cbr@cbrinfo.org, 949-206-0600. 

Addendum: Medical malpractice lawsuits have become so common that OB/GYNs practice defensive medicine. They protect themselves by over-diagnosing, over-treating and over-prescribing. No doctor delivering this baby as a preemie in a hospital would fail to provide neonatal intensive care. Even if he had no compassion for the baby or his parents, he would provide care to avoid being sued for negligence. Warren Hern, in his book "Abortion Practice" warns of the difficulty in estimating fetal ages. A baby moving as vigorously as this one is presumptively entitled to care and would receive it -- unless the attending physician is an abortionist, which is the case here. 

Miscarried embryos and fetuses are virtually all still births involving a baby who expired in the uterus and was later born dead. A preemie in a hospital is born alive and given intensive care -- not slapped around in a pan as happened here with a baby who survived the abortion depicted at the beginning of the video.

God have mercy on the voters that voted for Senators and Representatives who supported the Continued Resolution without defunding Planned Parenthood. The baby killing entrepreneurs of Planned Parenthood has made America complicit in the murder of children.

I am pleased my Oklahoma District One Representative Jim Bridenstine voted NO.

A Failure To Govern
Rep. Bridenstine Votes "No" on Continuing Resolution

By Rep. Jim Bridenstine (R-OK 1)
Sent: 9/30/2015 8:30 PM

Today I voted “No” on the Continuing Resolution (CR).  Continuing Resolutions are a failure to govern, a failure to represent the people, and a failure to exercise the power of the purse.

The House passed the bills to fund the government in the proper process.  The Senate failed to take up any of them due to Democrat filibusters.  Accordingly, a CR was presented as the only option for funding the federal government.

Representatives should be able to appropriate funds for programs the people approve and withdraw funds from those they oppose.  In Federalist 58, James Madison said, “The power over the purse may, in fact, be regarded as the most complete and effectual weapon with which any constitution can arm the immediate representatives of the people…”

I have never voted for a CR. Those who voted for the “clean” CR today, or any of the numerous CRs over the past 7 years, voted to fund Planned Parenthood, the President’s unconstitutional executive amnesty, sanctuary cities, Obamacare, and the Iran nuclear deal. There is nothing “clean” about this process.  In passing a CR, Congress abandons its representative duty and fails to fulfill the role given to it by the Constitution.

Rep. Jim Bridenstine Votes to Stop the Iran Deal

On September 11th the House voted on three bills to stop President Obama’s atrocious Iran nuclear agreement.  These bills make clear that the American people, acting through their elected representatives, reject the President’s capitulation to Iran. America’s next President can -- and should -- end the agreement on day one and restart the most effective sanctions regime ever created.  The Iran deal will endanger the security of America and our closest allies and partners, as I have explained at length (here and here).
