One would think pro-life people would be strong advocates of sex education and free OTC birth control to prevent unwanted pregnancies. Having sex is a natural human instinct, and abstinence-only education doesn't seem to be working:

I posted a video earlier in the thread of a baby that was in distress and had to be delivered at 22 weeks.
Does that baby in the video fighting for his life have any rights?
There is no money to be made here. They are covering their costs in preparing and preserving the donations. She believed she was speaking to an above board research facility. Nothing that she said is illegal. It is common medical practice. Every time a hospital or a medical provider forms a new relationship with a research facility, this is the type of conversation that will be had. If neither knew how the other operated, no donations from anywhere would ever happen.

So what are you trying to say that there having a conversation in that vid and talking about selling parts and even the "lower extremities" it seems are on the market, and about selling them to people and groups for what? monopoly money? Or you saying they are just giving parts away?
Now that would just be bad business. Or is this about the whole public funded company and institution trying to cover there costs? I mean what are you getting at? Do you have a point? Besides its a proven thing time and time again. That were there is money to be made somebody will be there to make it. Were there is a profit there is a way, has been the moto of humankind for oh ages now.

No.
I said that I couldn't find this news on anything other than conservative news sites.
I'm trying to find a mainstream news source for this and I don't see one.
If you can find me one that would be great.
I love this. Are you seriously that upset that someone who thinks different from you reported on this while like minded organizations did not? So upset as to disregard it completely based on that alone? Ad hominem at it's finest.

It's not in violation of federal law. That is a figure in regard to legal fees collected for preservation, transportation, etc and is noted as legal for donation of fetal parts in the statute. The law and the wording has been posted and sourced multiple times in this thread.

I'll share something with you pro-abortion folks.
My son was born with a birth defect that has caused blindness.
I know some of you proponents would have felt no qualms at "red-binning" my beautiful son.
I'll always be against abortion.

You just touched on something that really chaps my a$$ about these debates. Pro-Choice folks seem to think they're fortune tellers now, like they can somehow determine what a child's life is going to be like before they are even born and using that prediction to justify killing it.
If your wife had aborted your son because of his defect, these folks would be patting her on the back for commiting such a "selfless" act and "sparing" him such a "horrible" existence.
Its disgusting really.

Justificatios and apologetics aside - PP is still both counseling and assisting vulnerable women considering abortion while also brokering an after-market in aborted fetuses. There's an inherent conflict there.

Well it sounds like their lawyers found a way to sell body parts without actually selling body parts. Sort of like how an escort isn't officially paid to bed down with a client.

Did you happen to read the link she provided? Come to find out the man behind this video is the same man that brought us the "pimp man" acorn video.

Where do you apply for the job of sectioning little human bodies up into their various parts?
I am too late to become a doctor. They have the real sweet job of crushing and snipping at the climax of the procedure.
^^ Did anyone find this comment to be a bit twisted? Sick?^^
Me too.
But there are people doing this stuff every day.
Ever wonder what kind of person one has to be to do that?
