Seven disturbing quotes from Planned Parenthood video #1

The 6o-page transcript of the recorded conversation between Planned Parenthood’s medical director Deborah Nucatola and investigators from the Center for Medical Progress is quite disturbing. If you can’t stomach the entire document, here are the quotes I believe we must contemplate:

“Believe it or not”? Why wouldn’t anyone believe the doctor likes babies when all she does is remove tissue for a living? Come on, lets be real. It’s 2015 and we all know we’re talking about babies. Her own words betray her.

People are horrified over the fact that baby parts are being sold, and rightly so. Yet, is the alternative of them going to  incinerators any better?  How can anyone who’s learned the history of Nazi Germany be okay with this?

If Planned Parenthood is only looking to be reimbursed for tissue procurement, then why does Dr. Nucatola mention affiliates wanting to do a little better than break even?

“For that reason”? Abortions have risks, including leaving fetal remains behind and perforated uteruses. If women’s health is the top priority for Planned Parenthood then shouldn’t THAT be the reason for ultrasound-guided abortions, and shouldn’t more women receive them?

Are laws up to our own interpretation? I doubt that’s what the Supreme Court had in mind when they banned the gruesome practice of partial-birth abortion. Dr. Nucatola implies she’s willing to bend laws for her own benefit. This is unethical and it makes you wonder if Planned Parenthood thinks it’s above the law.

As Abby Johnson, former director of a Planned Parenthood said in a recent article, a lack of guidelines create loopholes. Prices can be raised based on an individual’s preference. That is one way PP can increase funds through this process.

This is the reason Dr. Nucatola says she became an abortion doctor. She said, “I probably had a very different reaction than most people would.” If only that death caused by another abortion doctor had awakened her to the reality that abortion harms women. We hear of back alley abortions, yet what about this woman? Her story wasn’t told, and like others, her death is seen as a casualty to a protected ‘right.’

My heart aches for the women who die from abortion, the children sent to the incinerators, and for Dr.Nucatola. Her intelligence and care could have been used to advance life, not to take it. Maybe it’s not too late.
