Gruesome description of abortion included in fetal research emails

Just before Easter, the New York Times made “email exchanges on [fetal] tissue requests” publicly available online. These emails, along with other documents, were most likely given to the Times by the House Select Panel that is investigating baby body part harvesting and late-term abortion.

A particularly gruesome set of emails is found in Exhibits B-1, B-2, and B-3. The senders’ identities are blocked, but the conversation is hard to stomach, especially as it becomes obvious the abortion of a later-term baby is taking place while the emails are being written.

Starting in Exhibit B-1, the emails read, in part:

Baby body part harvesting, fetal research, email, House Select Panel, abortion, Committee

And there we have it, folks. Amid normal pleasantries such as “sounds great” and “thanks again,” we have the body of a baby – whose parts can easily be identified – being killed. We have this body still so whole that the fully intact skull can be exclaimed over, with only a “tear up the back” being noted. We can casually describe and advertise the great quality of the limbs, while admitting that two have been broken in obviously painful ways.

This is the reality of abortion: whole children, killed and parted out, in the name of “convenience” and “research.” It is both that simple and that gruesome.

Every year, over 100,000 babies are aborted in D&E procedures, where their limbs are torn off and broken. A former abortionist, Dr. Anthony Levatino (who committed over 1200 abortions personally) describes the details in the short video below.
