is this procedure even legal?
says HERE its not.
The statute also provides that: A defendant accused of an offense under this section may seek a hearing before the State Medical Board on whether the physician's conduct was necessary to save the life of the mother whose life was endangered by a physical disorder, physical illness, or physical injury, including a life-endangering physical condition caused by or arising from the pregnancy itself.

... and "all I'm saying" is that taking a proven political propaganda piece as Gospel because one cant be bothered to discover facts "might" indicate a level of basic ignorance of the facts involved.
Darn words!

Yea, that has been shown already. The fact that the thread went on for 30 pages is just a testament to how much people like their confirmation biases.

Not only is this not a hoax, but it is also not a new topic.
No Federal Law Broken In Sale of Fetal Body Parts, US Attorney Says
Jones told 20/20 producers during an episode that aired on March 8, 2000, that he was able to make $50,000 a week from the sale of fetal body parts.
Peter Brownlie, president of Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri voiced his reaction, saying, "We are pleased that our patient's trust wasn't violated with any illegal activity."
"Planned Parenthood wasn't targeted in this investigation, but our patients are encouraged to donate tissue," he said. "We're glad that decision on their part wasn't abused in any way."
According to 20/20, the "donated tissue" procured by Jones from Brownlie's clinic was put up for sale at a profit during a 10-week period in 1998 when Jones' company held a contract with Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri to dispose of the clinic's fetal tissue.

Why is selling or donating the parts somehow worse than simply throwing them away to rot? I genuinely do not see the problem here.
than throwing them away to rot.
sense

And as snopes pointed out, their web site has been suspended. The conspiracy nuts are going to have a field day.

While morbid to us practices like this will help many trainee Doctors learn their job.
I have left my whole body to medical science and have seen what will be done to me when I die.
Surgeons have to practice on dead bodies and although very disturbing to us folk it has to be done and yes that will include dead babies.

Yes. People don't like living children. especially republicans. That is the truth. They just like to control other humans and tell them what to do. Abortion is legal and fetus are killed. Make a better world or better fathers.
Planned Parenthood is firing back at the anti-abortion group that released an undercover video exposé Tuesday, arguing it “grossly mischaracterizes” the issue of fetal tissue donations.
Under fire from a long list of conservatives, Planned Parenthood Action Fund released 11 pages of attack points against the founder of the group that published the video, the Center for Medical Progress.
“The promotional video mischaracterizing Planned Parenthood’s mission and services is made by a long time anti-abortion activist that has used deceptive and unethical video editing, and that has created a fake medical website as well as a fake human tissue website that purports to provide services to stem cell researchers,” the group wrote in a two-page statement.

So, you honestly believe that through the entire process of procuring baby parts, using them for research and providing medical products, there is no exploitation, no promotion and no profit making?
You do realise this is Earth, right?
where are they getting these cells from, have no idea but planned parenthood assure us it isn't from them!
