| Pro-life group to Planned Parenthood: Release fetal-tissue contracts |
| 2015-07-17 |
| [Wash Times] The Center for Medical Progress called on Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards to release all contracts with companies that provide fetal tissue to laboratories after she apologized Thursday for a top doctor's "tone and statements." "Without concrete action, Planned Parenthood's 'apology' is just a cynical and empty excuse--and an excuse that's three days late," said the center in a Thursday statement. "If they are truly sorry, they should immediately hand over all contracts with StemExpress and other fetal harvesting companies to law enforcement and congressional committees," the center said. "A belated 'sorry' is not enough for these deeds of baby parts trafficking and partial-birth abortion, these atrocities against humanity." Ms. Richards' apology came after the center released Tuesday an undercover video conversation with Dr. Deborah Nucatola, Planned Parenthood's senior director of medical services, who described over lunch and wine how she conducts abortions in order to preserve valuable fetal organs, such as the heart, liver and lungs. "Our top priority is the compassionate care that we provide. In the video, one of our staff members speaks in a way that does not reflect that compassion," Ms. Richards said. "This is unacceptable and I personally apologize for the staff member's tone and statements." At the same time, Ms. Richards defended the practice of fetal-tissue donation while insisting that the organization receives no profit from donating the tissue and organs of aborted fetuses. I'll give this a resounding, not a snowballs chance in hell. |
