Abortion clinic provided “whole brains” for youth summer camp

Abortion clinic provided “whole brains” for youth summer camp

Today, the House Select Investigative Panel on Infant Lives released a gruesome journal of “Procurement Notes,” which was given to the Panel by the University of New Mexico. The notes were made by a lab technician who was employed by the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center. UNMHSC partnered with the Southwestern Women’s Options abortion facility and would send a tech over to collect aborted babies and their body parts.

In explicit detail, the journal describes various body parts of aborted babies and, in some cases, what happened to them.

Perhaps the most disturbing revelation to come from the journal is a description of baby brains that were passed on to someone who wanted to use them at a youth summer camp.

The journal notes:

While details about the summer camp and the students remain scarce, the horror of having young people handle and cut into the brains of aborted, likely viable babies – possibly without their knowledge – is hardly conceivable.

UNMHSC offers the Dream Makers Health Careers Program, in which it “provides middle and high school students with unique opportunities to gain exposure to the many possibilities in the health professions while enhancing their science and math skills.” According to UNMHSC’s website, this includes “dissection of various specimens.”

The journal continues in a similarly horrifying fashion, describing triplets, twins, and babies past the point of viability.

The journal notes a “30.5 wks” baby who was “intact – did not dissect.” “Twins = 1 w/ clubbed feet” are mentioned, and the weight of their brains calculated.

“Dig” is shorthand for digoxin, a drug that is sometimes injected into the hearts or bodies of late-term babies as part of the abortion. Digoxin can be used as a feticide, as it causes the fetal heart to stop, killing the child. A 25-week-old baby is described as “treated with digoxin, skin loose, eyes discolored red” due to the effects of the drug that killed her.

The video below demonstrates, through medical animation, what happens in an abortion using digoxin:

Many believe digoxin enables a baby to stay intact, but this is hardly always true. As the journal describes, at 21.5 weeks, even though digoxin had been used, there were “tiny bits of brain tissue everywhere.” Late-term abortionist LeRoy Carhart has referred to babies who are poisoned with digoxin as “meat in a crockpot.”

While it is sometimes thought that babies in the first trimester are not harvested for their body parts and organs, the procurement notes prove this false. Brains, hearts, lungs, and eyes from 10-12 week old babies are noted all throughout the journal. The journal also reveals that a “tiny bit of brain” from a 10.4 week old “grew wonderfully!!” In the case of one first trimester baby, the notes state that only “1 leg” could be found.

One 15-week-old was so broken up that the technician notes they “could not find anything.” Other disturbing details include:

One notation speaks of “meconium shipped” to an undisclosed location. It appears the meconium (the “first feces of a newborn infant”) was taken from 16.7- and 15.6-week-old babies. Meconium is usually only present if a baby has been in distress or has been born alive.

The tech also makes it clear when they were excited or disappointed with the body parts that were harvested. “Stomach broken – no panc” (short for pancreas) was written with a frowning face. Then, “ENTIRE PANCREAS – whoo hoo!!” appears.
