What is the defense for planned parenthood harvesting babay brains?

[brinny]

I don't believe there is a smile. Can it be seen to look like a smile, sure, but clouds can be seen to look like bunny rabbits. All your image shows is the face of a fetus that sort of looks like maybe it's smiling. What is it smiling about? What were its facial expressions before and after this still shot of on instance? Even if it is smiling about something that it is actually happy or amused about, so what? Never mind the 95% of other aborted fetuses that don't have mouths or muscles or faces with which to even smile.

Question: Was the baby in your picture aborted?

believe as you wish.

It looks like the baby above is smiling, and as a matter of fact it looks like the baby is saying "yay!"

awesome!!!!!

(i suspect that the above baby is not murdered as the baby seems quite happy)

some mommies sing lullabies to their unborn little ones (and daddies sometimes sing lullabies too)

Brinny,

If Planned Parenthood is defunded, will there be more, fewer or the same amount of abortions?
If Planned Parenthood is defunded, will there be more, fewer or the same amount of teen pregnancies?
If Planned Parenthood is defunded, will there be more, fewer or the same amount of deaths in childbirth?
If Planned Parenthood is defunded, will there be more, fewer or the same amount of deaths during abortion procedures?
If Planned Parenthood is defunded, will there be more, fewer or the same amount of STDs?
If Planned Parenthood is defunded, will sex education in the US be better, worse or the same?

This is sad.

Babies are obligated to pay with their lives to keep their own death row factory afloat?

Seriously?

What has any baby ever done to you?

Is this a baby?

Such a cute smile!

Quick! We have to keep it alive so we can harvest its brain!

What you understand appears to be incorrect, or at least based on faulty information provided by deliberately biased sources. Which could have been easily fact-checked with just a little effort.

In some US states, Planned Parenhood is legally permitted to donate fetal parts for medical research. These parts include specific organs.
Donations are only made with the approval of the patient. It's a sign-in option, not an opt-out condition.
As part of the tissue donations, PP needs to arrange transport of these parts to medical companies/institutions.
Planned Parenthood doesn't pay for this transport, the medical companies/institutions arrange this transport. The prices are to cover the cost of tissue transport, which is not cheap. Most likely, the prices set by PP dont actually even cover their costs, and outgoings are more than their incomings for this.

Planned Parenthood is a not-for-profit organisation. In 2013/2014, its revenue was about 90 million more than its expenses. None of that money went to staff. It's reinvested back into its operations.

Around 3% of PP's operations are for the provision of abortion. 42% is for STD screening/treatment, 34% is for contraception, 11% is women's health and service, 9% is for cancer screening. Of the 10.6 million procedures and services provided by PP in 2013/2014, the number of abortion services and procedures was ~327,600.

Exactly, the recent accusations against Planned Parenthood and been undoubtedly falsified.

From what I understand they have admitted to selling baby parts for profit.

Well, if that's the case, we're on the same page and I'm against it. I saw one of the videos. It made me feel uneasy.

However, there seems to be some who claim that the videos are fraudulent. I don't know. Wasn't there. Maybe they're right. Notwithstanding, I don't feel good about partial birth abortions. And obviously, my opinions are not based on religious beliefs. I'm talking about stages from a few cells to a fully developed fetus.


I guess the question for everyone is - From conception to birth, where's the "cut-off point", is there a limit or is it all 'fair game'?

Is this actually fair, here. There are those who make the decisions that bring them to these places. We need to get solutions to these women unstead of throwing out emotionalism that has a shelf life of just under the next post that is placed here.

Even when I identified as an atheist, I thought this organization was corrupt. It's making money off of duping vulnerable women into thinking that the life growing inside of them isn't life. So, it's not life but it has a brain? lol

How sad and scary. Reminds me of the book, Frankenstein.

Less than 3% of their services are abortions. They actually do more to prevent STDs, unwanted pregnancies and encourage practicing safe sex. Do you want to deny low income women from sex education, birth control, etc?

 

[Deidre32]

I just googled that and it states that the figure isn't reliable. PP wants to downplay the percentage of abortions it performs. They are wolves in sheep's clothing.

Not sure why this quotes twice. :/

So a woman who was brutally raped should have to endure all the risks that come with pregnancy? She should have to endure the reminder every day of the horrific act that she experienced?
What if she was just starting college? Starting a new job? What if she's married or in a relationship? You're telling me you want to force her to change her life drastically for an event she had no control over? I'm sorry, you have no right to do that.

If you think you can control peoples anatomy, then perhaps you'd be in favor of being forced to donate your organs. You're pro-life right? Can a stranger with kidney failure right now demand one of your kidneys? He'll die without it...he should be able to take it from you right?

Here's a hypothetical for you: Say that a woman is raped, and there is a way to completely undo that rape from ever happening, but it requires murdering an innocent person in cold blood. Would that be justified?

Planned Parenthood stimulates supply? By "supply" do you mean parts of babies? And how would one "stimulate" supply" of these babies body parts?

Do you have any interest in actually having a discussion here? Yes, we're talking about fetus parts. That's been the subject over this entire discussion. It's not news, it's not some big "gotcha", it's what we are talking about. Now please address the argument.

Emotions are what makes us all human.

Even in the smallest of us.

Baby waves hello.

...Okay, question. How, exactly, does Planned Parenthood stimulate supply? I know, they offer abortions, this is not news to me. But it seems to me that the number of people who want abortions is pretty much completely separate from planned parenthood's activities. Indeed, by any metric, Planned Parenthood's activities do far more to prevent unwanted pregnancies than to encourage them! This whole idea makes no sense.

You brought up "stimulates supply", did you not?

Please elaborate on what you mean by "stimulates supply" and what "supply", specifically?

The supply of baby parts, and when I talk about "stimulating supply", I mean making more people getting abortions. Now please address my arguments. Thanks.

Did you just answer your own question?

Is it ever justified to murder an innocent person in cold blood?

You mean like a manufacturing plant with a demand for more and more of their "products"? Are you saying Planned Parenthood does that, and views Murdered babies bodies and the severed parts of these babies bodies as "products"? And that being a really "good" manufacturing or distribution plant/factory, that they'd "stimulate" some way of getting more of these "products" to meet the demand?

Well if they're a really skillful and savvy and successful manufacturing plant, of course they would. Any manufacturing plant/factory worth its salt would do exactly that, especially if they have "investors", invested in these "products".

Not when we are trying to resolve something. They get in the way and those who use them are usually more interested in shutting down debate instead of inspiring it. This started as a fraudulant video which some used to try an shame others.

That is not the way i see being effective at doing anything other than making people not want to address this. People are going to get tired and flip eachother the bird and walk way from any such debate, because they will know where it will end up.
