Planned Parenthood Executive Harvesting Baby Body Parts

An upsetting video was released recently that features comments from Dr. Deborah Nucatola, Planned Parenthood’s senior director of medical services, where she was describing how some doctors conduct abortions in order to leave fetal body parts in tact so that they can be harvested and sold. Actors were placed in a meeting with this doctor using hidden cameras to capture what she and her practice were doing behind closed doors. The woman was shockingly flippant about the whole subject and spoke of unborn babies, organs and body parts as if it is nothing more than a business strategy. While discussing terms with the people she thought …show more content…

Partial-birth abortion is a federal felony, buying or selling human body parts is a federal felony, and a fetus that is extracted alive is under federal law, and any action taken to kill him or her is …show more content…

These commandments from God were the law given to the people. The sixth of these commands is “You shall not murder”. The video shows Dr. Nucatola explaining the process of repositioning the babies to breach position in order to better preserve usable parts. In this way the baby is born alive, which presents not only a moral but a legal malpractice. The killing of these live-born infants is a federal felony considered as homicide. Exodus 20:13 tells us that murder is wrong before God. Babies and children play a significant role in the Bible. From Genesis 3:15 we start the journey of waiting for the child savior to come to the world. From Moses to Jesus, infants are a principal and beloved part of God’s plan and His kingdom. Every life is created in the image of God. Genesis 1:27 says “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created them.” We see in the Bible that God calls on people before birth; Isaiah 49:1 says, “Listen to me, O islands, And pay attention, you peoples from afar, the LORD called me from the womb; from the body of my mother He named me.” And God takes note and care of the unborn children just as he cares for us on earth. Psalm 139:15-16 says, “My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth; Your eyes have seen my unformed substance; and in Your book were all written; the

You succinctly described fetal homicide laws and the different standards used. With advances in technology, medicine has taken leap and bounds in being able to see fetuses earlier through ultrasounds and keep fetuses alive who are born prematurely. Therefore, the Born-Alive Standard and the Viability Standard are outdated and difficult to hold to standard due to differences in development between fetuses. As you noted, the Conception Standard should then be utilized as the standard in fetal homicide laws which in turn will provide a strong deterrent towards violence against pregnant women. Utilizing a conception standard will cause disagreement from those who are pro-choice as they view it as infringing on standards established through Roe v. Wade (1973).

Founded in 1916 by Margaret Sanger, the controversial federation known as Planned Parenthood continues to help millions of people internationally to resolve a variety of health problems. Because Planned Parenthood provides abortions, the government of the United States questions if it should continue to fund the clinic. However, there are several reasons, such as abortions, cancer screenings, and vaccines, that give rise to the federal subsidization of Planned Parenthood.

Sadly, this right is violated when performing abortion. People who support abortion say that the fetus in the womb is not considered a human being yet, so it does not kill or harm anyone. “In fact, unborn babies probably feel pain more intensely than adults. This is a uniquely vulnerable time since the pain system is fully established, yet the higher level pain-modifying system has barely begun to develop.” (Ranalli) The babies inside the womb feel pain, they are no different than an already born baby or an adult.
