Reposting “The Silence of the Left” in light of sick Planned Parenthood haggling over baby body parts prices

The Silence of the Left (Where are you on this Hillary, Bernie, Martin and Lincoln? And please don’t accuse me of just repeating what Rush Limbaugh said yesterday on the radio. I first posted this days ago.)

“I’d say a lot of people want liver,” she says in the video posted on the Center for Medical Progress’s Web site, between bites of salad. “And for that reason, most providers will do this case under ultrasound guidance so they’ll know where they’re putting their forceps.”

A report in The Washington Post July 14, 2015

No, it wasn’t Hannibal Lecter the Post was quoting; it was one of the lead butchers at Planned Parenthood, Deborah Nucatola, the abortion industry’s lead director of medical research. She was caught in a sting by admittedly anti-abortion forces talking about the best ways to harvest the most vital organs of babies, usually late-term, on the abortion table. Critics, including Planned Parenthood itself, chastised the “stingers” for fabricating a fake “stem cell seeking” company to fool the good doctor. Funny, ever hear of 60 Minutes, Dateline NBC or ABC’s 20/20? I guess it is hunky dory when the liberal media portrays itself as something else to catch the “bad guys”, but when a conservative group sets up a damning sting – whether it be ACORN or NPR — it is unethical.

As The Washington Post reported, “The anti-abortion group on Tuesday released an undercover video of an official at Planned Parenthood discussing in graphic detail how to abort a fetus to preserve its organs for medical research — as well as the costs associated with sharing that tissue with scientists.

“Over lunch at a Los Angeles restaurant, two antiabortion activists posing as employees from a biotech firm met with Deborah Nucatola, Planned Parenthood’s senior director of medical research. Armed with cameras, the activists recorded Nucatola talking about Planned Parenthood’s work donating fetal tissue to researchers and pressed her on whether the clinics were charging for the organs.

“The Center for Medical Progress, which recorded and edited the video, says the footage proves that Planned Parenthood is breaking the law by selling fetal organs. But the video does not show Nucatola explicitly talking about selling organs. The Planned Parenthood official says the organization is “very, very sensitive” about being perceived as illegally profiting from organ sales and charges only for the cost, for instance, of shipping the tissue.

“The video threatens to reignite a long-standing debate over the use of fetal tissue harvested through abortions and could add fuel to efforts seeking to ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy.
“In a statement, a spokesman for Planned Parenthood said the video misrepresents the organization’s work. Planned Parenthood clinics, with a patient’s permission, may sometimes donate fetal tissue for use in stem cell research, said the spokesman, who added that the group’s affiliates, which operate independently, do not profit from these donations.”

Watch the video (now videos), it is all over the Internet and it is chilling. That’s the main story, but there is a hidden one as well. Later in The Washington Post piece, two Republican presidential candidates, were quoted after they posted messages on the Internet.
According to The Washington Post, “A number of Republicans, including a few presidential candidates, reacted Tuesday to the video.

“This latest news is tragic and outrageous,” Carly Fiorina wrote on Facebook.

“This is a shocking and horrific reminder that we must do so much more to foster a culture of life in America,” said Jeb Bush on Twitter.”

But, The Washington Post stopped there. Did they reach out to any Democratic candidates to see their views on the issue? True, the Republicans posted their comments, but shouldn’t an intrepid reporter, fair and balanced, want the view of the other political party presidential candidates?

Oh, nay, nay, nay. You wouldn’t want to put pro-abortion advocates Clinton, Sanders and O’Malley on the spot. Even if they gave neutral statements, the pro-abortion lobby would go nuts for them not bowing at the altar of the baby-killing factory system known as Planned UNParenthood. And if this video sting operation plays out – which the stingers promise — it’s not just about killing babies; it’s about selling them, piece by valuable piece.

How about a nice baby and some fava beans? Jesus.
