THE STOPP REPORT

Another PP admits to baby parts involvement

You may download a printable version in PDF format.

The facts about the trafficking in baby parts are emerging daily. We first told you about Life Dynamics Inc. (P.O. Box 2226, Denton, Texas 76202) getting the documentation on this gruesome business in our October/November 1999 issue. Since that time we have obtained a great deal of information and have used parts of each month's Report to tell you about it.

This business has now been the subject of a congressional hearing and of a special report on ABC's 20/20.

The latest revelation by Planned Parenthood is that, in addition to its clinic in Kansas City (which we told you about last month), its Planned Parenthood Mar Monte clinic in California and "a few other Planned Parenthood clinics" are all involved in this business.

In fact, as the Traditional Values Coalition pointed out in a recent letter to FBI Director Louis Freeh, "every facility described in the [March 8] ABC 20/20 report and in documents described in the congressional hearing involved a Planned Parenthood clinic." Yet, incredibly, PP has been able to keep its name out of most of the testimony.

We'll tell you more about how Planned Parenthood was able to keep its name out of the television show and congressional hearings on page five. PP has been able to maintain it's squeaky clean image through all of this-so far.

As the nation's premiere publication focusing on Planned Parenthood, we decided it is time that The Ryan Report devoted one issue to this grisly business and to Planned Parenthood's involvement. So that is what this issue will be about.

In order to present a clear and total picture, page three will repeat some of the things we have reported previously. But be assured that most of this report contains information that we have not brought to your attention previously. We hope it will be informative and give you ammunition for letters-to-the-editor, talks and other activities that will spread the truth about PP.

We will begin our review with a short history of the baby body parts harvesting business written by Judie Brown, president of American Life League. Then we will describe exactly what this business is about, PP's documented involvement, PP's justification for being involved, and why PP's justification is not morally correct.

Finally, we will give you some comments from Life Dynamics Inc. on why the 20/20 story and, especially, the congressional hearing did not live up to expectations.

It is hoped this "primer" on the baby body parts issue will be helpful to you as you address this in coming months and years.

The truth behind the selling of baby body parts

By Judie Brown

A great deal of news coverage and commentary has erupted over the past few weeks dealing with the very skewed issue of the sale and marketing of "baby body parts." The main concern seems to center on the going price of such parts. But somewhere in the rush to expose the profiteering and the ghastly business of harvesting fresh organs from babies not yet fully dead from acts of abortion, we seem to have lost our way.

When pro-lifers examine the question of harvesting the bodies of tiny human beings who are aborted, we are addressing all acts of abortion from conception (fertilization) until birth. This is not clear in the current debate-deliberately so, as you will see.

Additionally, many are under the impression that the government really does not allow such atrocities. This, too, is false.

Here is a list of facts that may help you better achieve a full understanding of what is really at stake and how long this ghastly business has been operating in our nation:

• The U. S. Supreme Court ruled on Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton on January 22, 1973. In those decisions the Court struck down every state law dealing with restricting abortion and ruled that a woman had a right to decide, with her doctor, whether or not she would abort her child.

• The Court never ruled that the result of the abortion had to be a dead baby, much to the joy of the eugenic-biomedical establishment.

• In 1974, the federal Food and Drug Administration approved an Upjohn Pharmaceutical product called Prostin F2 Alpha, which was touted as a chemical that would cause an abortion but not threaten the health or life of the mother as previous abortion techniques had. However, as Suzanne Rini points out in her definitive book, Beyond Abortion, a live baby resulted during such abortions, causing two physicians to comment in a medical journal article:

  The occasional delivery of a fetus with a heartbeat suggests that fetal death usually occurs close to the time of abortion . . . Therefore, it seems likely that the fetal tissues so obtained might be suitable for organ transplants, for growing and attenuating viruses for vaccines and for basic research. The report on second-trimester [Prostin F1 Alpha] abortions demonstrates that fetal tissues are viable and that representative enzymes are not altered significantly by the abortion technique. (From an article in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1974, cited in Beyond Abortion)

• The Uniform Anatomical Gift Act was originally passed in 1968, and has been amended and most recently revised in 1987. A form of this law has been adopted by all 50 states and the District of Columbia, and a provision of that law allows women who choose abortion to donate "fetal remains" (e.g. human babies whole, organs, tissues or cells).

• In 1981, the Philadelphia Inquirer published an exposé by Liz Jeffries, "The Dreaded Complication," which dealt with abortions resulting in live births. The article's focus was on the fact that such an outcome was not desirable, but current news coverage concentrating on the "baby body parts industry" only reminds us that clearly such an outcome is desirable for clinical research and experimentation.

• In 1988, when the alleged "moratorium" was placed on research and experimentation using the bodies of nearly dead or dead persons resulting from acts of abortion, the law prohibiting such research only applied in a very narrow set of circumstances. For example, a woman could only be approached to "donate" her baby once she had decided to abort the baby. And, only "reasonable payments" for services were permitted. It is obvious that such "regulations" did little to halt the macabre business of buying and selling fetal body parts (and whole embryonic babies) for profit.

• The Los Angeles Times (3/9/00) reports that "fetal-tissue research is hardly new," since Jonas Salk relied on it for the development of the polio vaccine. The National Institutes of Health spent, just last year, $18.6 million on research projects that used fetal tissue and $1.8 million on research involving fetal tissue transplantation.

Has there ever been a time since the Roe and Doe Supreme Court decisions when such ghoulish practices as those currently being debated have ever really been illegal? No!

What is the baby parts business?

As Judie documents, the "baby parts business" has been going on in this country for many years. It was, however, cloaked in secrecy. Last summer, after two years of investigation and fact gathering, Life Dynamics Inc. made what was happening public. We reported on it in our October/November Report and reprint part of that here for our new readers.

Life Dynamics Inc. has made public the fact that the abortion industry is selling parts of aborted babies for profit. Oh, but you say, it is illegal to sell human body parts. Yes, it is. But, in typical fashion, the industry has found a way around the law. They technically "donate" the parts and only charge for the "services" of collecting and transporting the parts. While there may be a legal distinction, there is no moral one.

The groups arranging for the sale of baby body parts are the Anatomic Gift Foundation (with offices in Georgia, Maryland, Arizona and Colorado) and Opening Lines in Illinois.

In the documentation from Life Dynamics Inc., are page after page of copies of actual orders for baby parts sent to Planned Parenthood facilities. What kind of orders? Well here goes. Let's take a look at an actual order for baby parts from November, 1992. In this order, the people requesting the parts stated that they intended to use the parts obtained to do a "study of Biochemical Characterization of human type X Collagen."

What they needed was a "whole intact leg, including the entire hip joint," from a baby that was "22-25 weeks gestation." The order noted that they wanted not one, but "4-6 specimens per shipment."

Finally, the order specified that the legs must be "removed from the fetal cadaver within 10 minutes." You can imagine the scrambling at PP to make sure it cuts off the legs of these babies within 10 minutes of doing the abortion!

There is no mention in the order of how much money PP gets for each baby leg, but documentation from Opening Lines states that they charge their customers $150 for each limb.

Let's look at just a couple more examples, so you know this is routine.

Opening Lines charges its customers $50 for a pair of baby eyes. Life Dynamics Inc. found that a PP clinic received an order, in September 1994, for baby eyes. The order stated that "4-10 eyes per day" were needed from babies that are "16-24 weeks gestation." It instructed PP to "immerse the eyes in DMEM" and to make "weekly shipments." According to the order, these eyes were to be used for "research and development of potential human transplant therapy."

One order form has a note that the people ordering are this PP affiliate's "biggest customer." The parts ordered are all to be taken from babies over 18 weeks gestation. This particular order wants a thymus, a liver, a spleen, both the leg and arm bone from the same baby, and mesentery.

The instructions to PP are: "Tissue should be removed and prepared under aseptic conditions within a maximum of ten (10) minutes after circulation has stopped."

As you read this, it becomes very clear why Planned Parenthood is so adamant about protecting the dilation and extraction (D&X) procedure (also know as partial-birth abortion). If it is to remove all these organs and get them packaged for shipment, it wants to keep circulation going in the baby for as long as possible. With D&X, it can kill the baby at the last minute and then rush him into a tissue recovery room to harvest whatever has been ordered.

Again, there is no indication on the order form how much PP will be paid for all this harvesting. But, the Opening Lines price list says it charges its customers the following prices for each of these parts: a thymus ($75); a liver ($125); a spleen ($50); both the leg and arm bone from the same baby ($150); and mesentary ($100).

Most of the baby parts are needed for some type of research. Be aware that all kinds of baby parts are needed including brains, lungs and hearts and just about every part the baby has in her body.

One order actually asked simply for an "embryo." They wanted an embryo with a "gestational age of 4-7 weeks with spinal column intact." The instruction for this particular order was to "remove specimen and prepare within 15 minutes after circulation has ceased." It further stated that the embryo was to be "shipped within 2-3 hours after preparation."

According to the Opening Lines price list to its customers, this "intact embryonic cadaver" will sell for $400.

This is the "baby parts business" we talk about. It is a horrifying abuse of sacred human beings. And, it is happening right here in the United States of America!

PP's involvement

From the very beginning of the revelations from Life Dynamics Inc., it was clear that Planned Parenthood was immersed in this grisly business.

Kansas City

Most of the documentation published by Life Dynamics Inc. came from a Planned Parenthood abortion facility in Kansas City, Missouri.

Peter Brownlie, president and chief executive officer of Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri (PPKMM), admitted on February 16 that the PP clinic in Overland Park had, in the past, supplied fetal tissue to the Anatomic Gift Foundation and later to Opening Lines. Brownlie maintained that PP was compensated only for providing the facilities. He claimed the clinic had no part in any sale of tissue or organs.

"We strongly support federal statutes and guidelines," Brownlie said. "It is and should remain illegal to sell tissue."

As we explained on page three, selling baby body parts is illegal, so the groups involved get around the law by claiming they get paid for their services instead of for the parts. In this case, PP claims it just rented its space. How ridiculous!

The information about this PP clinic's involvement came to light as Sentor Bob Smith asked the Senate Judiciary Committee to hear from four witnesses, at least three of whom did fetal tissue extraction at that clinic.

According to a Kansas City Star report, two of the persons were technicians and one is a pathologist who worked for companies that had agreements to do tissue work at the clinic.

The clinic, known as Comprehensive Health Services, has been in operation for years and came under the ownership of PPKMM in 1997. The clinic performs abortions but Brownlie said that Planned Parenthood ended its involvement in fetal tissue harvesting in November 1998. (Ed. note: Probably when it got wind of the investigation into the matter by Life Dynamics Inc. of Denton, Texas.)

Brownlie said women who received abortions at Planned Parenthood signed consent forms for the tissue donations and claimed that they never were pressured into extending pregnancies. Federal law requires consent and prohibits medical researchers from having any role in the timing or method of abortion.

Brownlie defended the harvesting. "For some women who choose to have an abortion, we see this as a positive outcome to what has been a difficult situation," Brownlie said.

In typical fashion, Planned Parenthood tried to turn attention away from the whole subject by claiming that, despite the growing evidence of its involvement in this grisly business, it is all a pro-life, made-up controversy.

Brownlie told The Star that he didn't object to more disclosure but that the U.S. Senate resolution and related investigation were grounded in abortion politics.

"It's a controversy being entirely fostered by anti-abortion groups that don't really care about the issue, except that it's a good political one for them," Brownlie said.

Sacramento

In a March 9, 2000, paid advertisement in the Sacramento News and Review, Alison Gaulden, vice-president of public affairs and community relations of Planned Parenthood Mar Monte (PPMM-Sacramento, California) admitted that this affiliate is involved in the baby parts business.

Specifically, Gaulden wrote, "PPMM is one of a few Planned Parenthood affiliates in the country that allows women having abortions to donate products of conception to tissue and organ acquisition companies who, in turn, provide them to researchers. . . . By participating in this process for humanitarian reasons, women having abortions have the opportunity to find additional solace by donating the fetal tissue to advance scientific research."

Notice that Gaulden reveals that not one or two, but a "few" Planned Parenthood facilities are actively involved in this grisly trade.

Now, please take a moment to digest this fact. The Planned Parenthood Federation of America, which tries to present itself as a health organization concerned with women, routinely participates in giving aborted babies to people knowing that the babies will be cut up and shipped to various labs around the world. Remember, also, that Planned Parenthood is the same organization that has received almost $2 billion in your taxpayer money over the last 13 years to help finance this business!

At the congressional hearing that was held March 9, one worker testified that PP sometimes handed him live babies from which organs were to be harvested!

PP's cover-up

As publicity about the baby parts business grew, many pro-life members of Congress became outraged. Several began calling for congressional hearings into this business.

The news media also became interested and one news magazine, ABC's 20/20, sent a team to gather information in preparation for a special report.

As events began to unfold, STOPP noted a very curious chain of events. STOPP received notice that the House was, indeed, going to hold hearings on this business. We were informed of an original date for the hearing. As events unfolded, we also learned that 20/20 was planning to air a story and that the story would be broadcast during the same week as the congressional hearing was to take place.

Then, the congressional hearing was postponed. This is not unusual as congressional schedules are always being adjusted. We received assurances that the hearings would eventually be held, but would be put off for a month.

Incredibly, after the original hearing was cancelled, ABC also cancelled its intended showing of the 20/20 segment. Word came that it would wait for the new hearing date before deciding when to run the special.

Can you imagine? Here is a breaking story about parts of babies being sold around the United States and ABC only thinks it is important enough to show to the American people if there is a congressional hearing! (I guess we shouldn't come down too hard on ABC-none of the other major networks have done anything at all with the story.)

Well, the congressional hearing finally occurred on March 9, 2000, and the ABC 20/20 story aired on March 8. Incredibly, neither event identified the fact that it is Planned Parenthood facilities that are involved in this grisly business!

This did not happen by accident.

Cover-up by Congress

The congressional hearing was held by the Health & Environment Sub-Committee in the House of Representatives. Planned Parenthood obviously put its lobbying machine into overdrive trying to keep its name out of the hearings. This proved to be a difficult task, however, as all the witnesses being called to testify did their work at a Planned Parenthood facility in Kansas City.

Apparently, three Republicans-Bilirakis, Upton, and Jim Greenwood of Pennsylvania-all known for their support of PP, joined with committee Democrats and called for a "closed hearing." The intention was to bar both the media and the public from being admitted to the hearing. This would ensure that any mention of Planned Parenthood would go unreported.

The Associated Press issued a story on March 8 that, "House Democrats on Wednesday [March 7] abandoned an effort to exclude the public and media from a hearing this week on allegations that a lucrative but illegal market has developed for fetal tissue from abortions. . . . A Democratic aide, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the effort was dropped after Republicans provided assurances 'that the testimony will not put researchers and clinics in jeopardy.'"

This meant that Planned Parenthood had won. It could look forward to a congressional hearing in which it would not be identified as being part of the baby parts business.

Worse than cover-up by 20/20

So Planned Parenthood had succeeded in getting its name withheld from the congressional hearing. It had even greater success with 20/20. Readers should recall that 20/20 is owned by ABC, which, in turn, is part of the Disney family. You can imagine the frantic phone calls from PP to Disney officials and others in the television community asking that PP not be tied publicly to this grisly trade.

And, once again, it worked! Those who saw the 20/20 show know that Planned Parenthood was never identified as owning the facilities from which baby parts were harvested. In an even greater "spin," Planned Parenthood was actually portrayed as the good guys!

That's right, this supposedly objective reporting about the selling of baby parts in the United States actually went out of its way to hide PP's involvement. During the course of the show, 20/20 producers actually aired a statement by Gloria Feldt condemning the business of baby parts trafficking. Those who watched the show, and did not know ahead of time about PP's involvement, left with the impression that PP is actually fighting the business of which it is an integral part.

Ahh ... the things that you can accomplish when you have no conscience.

PPFA's official "spin"

As Planned Parenthood scrambles to not only deny its involvement in the baby parts business, but position itself as being against the selling of baby parts, its public relations people have been working overtime.

We just told you about its triumphs at the congressional hearings and on the 20/20 show. To capitalize on these victories, Gloria Feldt issued the following press release:

Planned Parenthood reaffirms support of potentially lifesaving research using fetal tissue donated by women

Denounces alleged fetal tissue profiteering

Planned Parenthood Federation of America President Gloria Feldt reinforced concern about the alleged profiteering of fetal tissue donated by women for medical research in Kansas, which was a subject of the ABC News show 20/20 last evening. The ABC 20/20 segment detailed alleged abuses by private sector tissue and organ procurement companies that receive and distribute donations of fetal tissue for research.

"Where there is wrongdoing, it should be prosecuted and the people who are doing that kind of thing should be brought to justice," said Gloria Feldt to ABC's Correspondent Chris Wallace during their conversation for the 20/20 show.

In a separate letter sent to ABC's Chris Wallace, Feldt reaffirmed that Planned Parenthood believes that fetal tissue research is an important endeavor with the potential to save lives and ameliorate disease.

"Planned Parenthood supports research using fetal tissue in accordance with legal and ethical guidelines and are deeply concerned about the attempt by some to profit from the humanitarian contributions of courageous women," said Gloria Feldt.

"We are confident those Planned Parenthood affiliates offering women the option to donate tissue are doing so in accordance with the law and medical ethics," added Feldt.

In a related proactive step, several leading women's reproductive healthcare and policy organizations, including Planned Parenthood, have sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Justice calling attention to the private sector tissue and organ procurement companies implicated in the news program. In addition, Planned Parenthood is urging the Chairman of the House Health and Environment Subcommittee of Commerce, Rep. Michael Bilirakis (R-Fla.), who is planning to hold hearings on the matter, to seek enforcement of the existing statutes, including the National Organ Transplant Act and the NIH Revitalization Act of 1993.

In a letter to Chairman Bilirakis, Feldt affirmed the critical status of the issue, but expressed concern that "the public nature of Thursday's inquiry may undermine the important research being conducted by scientists looking for cures to debilitating diseases, and may potentially stigmatize the donation of fetal tissue." Feldt concluded: "We will not stand silent while anti-choice zealots engage in offensive and perhaps illegal behavior, so lacking in compassion that they would sacrifice potentially lifesaving medical research to further their political goals, which is to deprive women of the fundamental right to choose abortion."

Life Dynamics Inc. response

Life Dynamics Inc. issued the following response to 20/20 and Planned Parenthood.

Hearing Planned Parenthood President Gloria Feldt's pious condemnation of the baby parts traders was sickening.

It was like hearing the president of Phillip Morris condemn smoking. 20/20 was completely irresponsible in not making the viewer aware that all of the wrongdoing described in this broadcast occurred at Planned Parenthood facilities, and that Planned Parenthood is responsible for the national network that supports the trafficking of baby body parts. Ms. Feldt was clearly wanting to disguise this in her interview and 20/20, by its silence, went right along with her. The result is that the viewer was left with the false impression that Planned Parenthood was outraged at these practices rather than a participant in them.

You will notice how, at the end of the PP press release, Feldt attempts to "spin" the reader away from Planned Parenthood and make pro-lifers out to be the bad guys.

It is PP that kills babies in the womb. It is PP that delivers these babies to workers who "harvest" the baby's body parts. It is PP who receives money from companies for providing space and services in connection with collecting baby body parts. Yet, somehow, it is pro-lifers who lack compassion! We think not.

Why not research using baby parts?

The argument being put forward by Planned Parenthood, and others, is that the baby parts business is okay because the parts are being used for research to kill disease.

What about that argument? To get an answer to that question, The Ryan Report went to Father Joseph Howard, director of the American Bioethics Advisory Commission. Here is what Fr. Howard had to say:

The issue of using fetal parts obtained from induced abortion involves complicity. Any person who utilizes any goods with the knowledge that they were wrongfully obtained-legally or ethically-becomes a cooperator in an evil, intrinsically disordered action.

Even though abortion is considered legal, it is a gravely unethical act which destroys an innocent, unborn human person. To knowingly utilize fetal parts obtained from an induced abortion "to bring about good," renders one an accomplice in an act which is gravely unethical.

All actions must be morally analyzed by intention, means and end. If any of these three are immoral, the act itself is immoral. This type of complicity calls into question the means used to accomplish the end. One may never do evil or cooperate in evil to bring about good (Romans 3:8).

Thus, Planned Parenthood is as wrong about research using organs from aborted babies as it is about abortion itself.

Conclusion

There is a thriving business in this country where parts of aborted babies are collected and shipped to research facilities. By its own admission, Planned Parenthood operates a number of abortion facilities across the country that initiate the chain of events.

A woman goes to Planned Parenthood for "counseling" (PP receives taxpayer money to pay for the counseling sessions). Then she "decides" to have an abortion (PP gets paid either directly from the woman or, in many states, receives taxpayer funds to pay for the abortion). Then she signs a consent form and the baby is given by PP to a technician who harvests the baby parts according to the orders that have arrived that day (PP gets paid a fee either for the "services" in providing the sometimes dead baby or for providing the space). Then PP goes on television and sanctimoniously decries all those who are profiting from the sale of baby parts.

This is the same PP, remember, who enjoys tax exempt status from the IRS and, last year, received $176.5 million from United States taxpayers through government programs.

It clearly is time that we all looked at this business. Remember what Judie Brown pointed out in the article on page two. If done with the proper bookkeeping, all this activity is legal in the United States.

We—you and I—have allowed our country to degenerate into one that has absolutely lost all value of human life. The United States condemned Nazi Germany for experimenting on humans and using human parts during the middle of the last century. Yet, here we are today essentially doing the same thing-and claiming it is all legal.

It is time we took a stand. We must stop this grisly trade in the United States and we must call PP to account for being instrumental in this trade.

We recommend three courses of action.

First action items

Our first effort must be to educate our own people on why using parts of aborted babies for research is wrong-even if some good results might come from such research. Your actions on this should make use of Father Howard's clear statement.

• Schedule some time at your next meeting to discuss this topic and present the moral position as explained by Fr. Howard.

• Use space in upcoming editions of your newsletters to explain why selling baby body parts is wrong.

• At your next annual banquet, have a speaker who can talk about the baby parts business and why it is morally wrong to use parts from aborted babies for research.

• Church officials should use their church bulletins to present Fr. Howard's statement. They can add statements of their own or those of theologians of their church to further document the illicit nature of this research.

• Use the letters-to-the-editor column of your local newspaper to explain the problem with using parts of aborted babies for research.

This is designed to investigate the wide-spread use of aborted baby parts in research in the United States and how much of it is being paid for with our tax money.

To achieve this, we suggest:

• Write or call your members of Congress and request that each use the Freedom of Information Act to make the following requests from the National Institutes of Health:

  Provide a list of every single recipient of funding currently involved in supplying or using aborted babies or embryonic babies.

  Ask NIH to acquire, from each grantee, a notarized statement attesting to where they obtained the material, how much was paid, which abortion providers were involved, and how arrangements were handled. In other words, was a third party involved as well?

• Ask your Congressman and your Senators to request oversight hearings for the express purpose of investigating the involvement of the National Institutes of Health in the ongoing research and experimentation involving the remains of children killed by abortion or those children who survived abortion long enough to allow others to rob them of their vital organs. It is clear that the NIH is aware of such trafficking in human body parts in the private sector as well as their own.

  In the U.S. House of Representatives, the Chairman of the Commerce Committee is Congressman Tom Bliley (R-Va.), House Commerce Committee, 2049 Rayburn House Office Building, Washington, D.C. 20515 or call (202) 225-2927.

  In the U.S. Senate, the Chairman of the Commerce Committee is Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.), Senate Commerce Committee, 241 Russell Senate Building, Washington, D.C. 20510, (202) 224-5115.

• Clearly, the ultimate solution to this travesty is an amendment to the Constitution of the United States that recognizes every person as a human being from his beginning: conception (fertilization).

Do your elected officials agree? If not, isn't it time pro-lifers elected people who did? The smell of the gas chambers cannot be far off.

Third action items

The final set of action items is geared to informing the general public on the involvement of Planned Parenthood in this business. We have provided you in this Report documentation of Planned Parenthood's involvement as well as statements from its own people detailing that involvement and its justification for doing so.

It is time to end the cover-up of Planned Parenthood's involvement by doing the following:

• Write letters to the editor of your local paper quoting Planned Parenthood's admissions that it is involved in this business.

• Get copies of this edition of The Ryan Report into the hands of every elected official who will be asked to vote on any money for Planned Parenthood. Let them know just what kind of business Planned Parenthood is really in (you can copy the newsletter yourself, or call us to order additional copies).

• Call local radio shows and expose this grisly business and Planned Parenthood's involvement. You can even arrange for your local station to interview STOPP's director, Jim Sedlak, on this issue.

• Every time Planned Parenthood speaks out publicly against bans on partial-birth abortion, use it as an opportunity to point out that PP wants partial-birth abortion so it can get more, and fresher, baby body parts.

• Please continue your support of STOPP International and our mission to tell the truth about Planned Parenthood. Most of the information you have just read is probably new to you because no one else is documenting the PP connection. Thank you for your continued support.
