Since atheistic Darwinist creationism's worldview is one of a human being basically nothing more than an evolved sack of chemicals, why would selling baby parts be against the law (assuming it is)?
"It purportedly shows a Planned Parenthood executive sipping a glass of wine in a Los Angeles restaurant while casually explaining how they sell body parts from aborted babies."
One more indication of the evils of Darwinism and why the worldview should be challenged.

First of all, the issue of abortion can be viewed entirely independently of the issue of fetal personhood or whether or not we want to consider that a "baby" (personally, I think drawing the line at "zygote" sort of distorts the meaning of the word). If a woman does not consent to having her body used as housing for a dependent, that is her choice, and her right to bodily autonomy trumps any right to necessary resources the fetus might have.
But beyond that, we're not talking about "whether they'll be aborted". Indeed, that's what makes this debate so weird to me. We're talking about body parts from a fetus that has
already been aborted. It's not a matter of "Do we abort". It's a matter of "Hmm, do we put this dead tissue into a landfill or into the hands of medical professionals who can actually use it to further mankind?" and like with the issue of organ donorship, I take a pretty strong moral stance on that - they're
dead, and their corpse has no further use to anyone else, so let the scientists who can help actual living people have it. Let me ask you this - if it was a natural miscarriage, would it still be wrong to use these fetus parts to help actual, living people?
As for the topic of morality if we're "just a sack of chemicals", I fail to see how it makes much of a distinction. I have a consciousness. Regardless of where that consciousness comes from (probably an emergent property of the complex neural network in my brain), it has certain non-arbitrary, hard-wired likes (food, sex, sleep) and dislikes (pain, hunger, illness), and furthermore, it is capable of empathy and reason. I am able to put myself into the shoes of other human beings (indeed, I do it all the time without even wanting to) and am essentially
forced to care about them. The idea that atheism leaves one with no basis for morality is completely baseless. I don't want to be hurt. I know that egocentric morality is rationally bankrupt. Ergo, I should not hurt anyone else, because I don't want them to hurt me. It really is that simple.
