StemExpress Sees Astronomical Growth With Planned Parenthood Partnership. Coincidence?

A human being does not become one after a certain amount of weeks or months of being conceived. It does not become a human being until it breaths its first breath.
A human is conceived with the sperm and egg fuse together and the blueprint for the life-form is created, the DNA fused from the mother and father. All of who that human will be even when it is an adult is already written out in digital code within the DNA.
Is the person alive when the egg and sperm fuse, in what is termed conception? Of course it is.
Evolutionists would claim that all life came from a single-celled organism. Is a single-celled organism alive? Yes it is.
To even question when life begins is stupid. It is alive when the cells start to replicate to form the baby that will soon be born. If it wasn't alive, it couldn't do that.
To question when a human becomes a human is stupid too. Even if you still can't see how the digital code-book of life that was formed at conception will turn out immediately, it is there, complete in every respect.
When a woman miscarriages she just lost her human child that was being formed.
When a woman purposefully aborts that child she has committed murder of her own offspring.
For humans then to use that dead child or sell it for parts is so totally repugnant that it defies all sense of sanity.
And people wonder why society is so twisted and warped?
Shame on all of you, you are shameful those who excuse this inhumane conduct on the defenseless.

You cared enough to reply, which means you care more than you are letting on.
As far as when a human becomes a human. It is a human at conception. The DNA, the blueprint of life is formed at conception for that unique individual. And everything that human will be is already written down in digital code.
It may take time for it to develop fully into a full-grown adult, but the human was already conceived at conception. It is alive and a human when that blueprint of the human life-form was created at conception.
DNA does not develop as the embryo progresses. It is complete even before the first cell begins to reproduce.
You are correct that it is the problem of the person who murders that child growing inside them.
And no doubt it has devastating consequences on the woman who so commits the murder, even those who try to excuse it away. Even when they listen to those who try to excuse it away as well.

No (ethical) doctor in the USA would abort a 9 month old fetus because the mom was mad at her "baby daddy". That doesn't mean that "she" didn't do something to harm herself, and/or her fetus to force an abortion.
People will never cease to amaze me in the stupid things they do out of desperation. A member here, "Bones75" (?), told the story of how his very pregnant (ex)wife held a knife to her belly, threatening to kill her fetus, while they were have an argument. I'm not condoning that, just saying, it happens.
No ethical doctor would, but then we have people like Dr. Kermit Gosnell that operated abortion clinics since 1972 in Philadelphia and he was far from ethical. He was not a board certified obstetrician or gynecologist but was charging $1,600-$2,000 per abortion. It took a woman's death to bring charges against him in 2011.
So the guys that do it are out there.
A remorseless doctor was prosecuted for convincing over 500 healthy patients that they had cancer as part of a Medicare fraud scheme. Dr. Farid Fata knowingly prescribed unnecessary chemotherapy treatments for each patient and billed Medicare $34 million.

Getting the issue out to an apathetic public is laudable as most are served up propaganda on what a swell organization PP is by media and agenda driven organizations.
As far as complaining about editing or viewpoint, that can be said about any video on a variety of subjects one disagrees with, that's the kneejerk reaction to resort to the Alinsky like tactic of damning the messenger by impugning motivation, methods and personal reputation of the deliverer.
If CMP only released the short edited versions I'd say you have a point, however releasing the full videos shows without a doubt that nobody forced or coerced the PP personnel to act, answer or otherwise respond as they did.
You could make a point that they were led to believe they could openly discuss what really goes on but that's the nature of sting operations all the way from government investigations, law enforcement, media investigations to private investigations - CMP has done nothing that hasn't been done hundreds if not thousands of times before. Its just this time you PP supporters strongly disagree with the ramifications and possible consequences of this information going fully public.
I really have to believe if the videos were about exposing the Koch brothers, Trump, RNC etc. most PP supporters would defend the videographers to the hilt even if they were shown to be absolutely without a doubt faked - yes the attacks on the CMP videographers are straight up politically motivated and those continued attacks on CMP makes me believe they've hit right where it hurts.
Now being reasonable lets say the truth lies somewhere in the middle between supporters and detractors of PP based on information offered up by PP personnel themselves in the videos, that still leaves enough to warrant official investigation by governing authorities and many investigations based on much less have been done in the past.
I personally happen to believe its egregious enough to temporarily halt funding until the matter is settled.

Exactly. Perform an investigation and get to the bottom of it for good.

You can call it propaganda all day long. In the end it doesn't matter which 'side' it represents. What really matters is whether or not this is happening. At first I heard the videos were fake. Then I saw some news reports showing the 'fake ID' used by the people to get into the clinics for these interviews/negotiations. So, which is it? Either the videos are real, in which case it doesn't matter what side it claims to be for. If they were pro or anti abortion would that make it any more or less moral? Nope. Or, the videos are completely fake and everything in them is scripted and acted out. Pretty sure that isn't the case.

Are you worried about people that break the law, or are you worried about people who have legal late term abortions? There will always be "back alley abortionists". There will always be smugglers selling illegal and stolen kidneys and other body fluids and parts.

So what should they do with the dead babies ? Throw them away or sell them to science ?
Elect them to congress.
They'd probably do better than the lot we have now.
These videos are not "evidence" ...they are full on baiting propaganda...and that differentiation has nothing to do with opinion, politics, ideology etc. It is just the facts surrounding the videos, editing and presentation.
Planned Parenthood says affiliates in fewer than five states participate in fetal tissue donation, though it will not say which ones, citing security issues. [Source]
