Planned Parenthood Tapes: Full Transcripts

I keep on hearing that the Planned Parenthood tapes were "heavily edited" and this makes me wonder, "What did they really say?" Well here is your chance and my chance to check it out for ourselves to see what is behind the edits.

These files show the unedited conversations that took place in the undercover meetings with Planned Parenthood. What becomes obvious is that Planned Parenthood does not sell the body parts for profit, only at cost, and this is legal to do.

However, it should be noted that Planned Parenthood is definitely selling dead baby parts.

In addition, these transcripts provide explanations of how the tissue is used to promote scientific research into curing diseases like Alzheimers and Parkinson's.

Anyone who wants to can read the transcripts and bring parts of them onto this thread if they think they see something that I missed.

PP: I think for affiliates, at the end of the day, they’re a non-profit, they just don’t want to—they want to break even. And if they can do a little better than break even, and do so in a way that seems reasonable, they’re happy to do that.

Really their bottom line is, they want to break even. Every penny they save is a just pennies they give to another patient. To provide a service the patient wouldn’t get.

This shows us that the non-profit entities involved are interested in breaking even, not making a profit (as would be expected of a non-profit).

PP: Yea, I mean, there are obviously the patients how come in, who are asking about it from the start so it’s easy to talk about. But the others, I mean honestly, there’s not going to be one thing that works for every patient. Every patient experiences a whole wide range of emotions about the experience in general, and so you don’t know where they’re coming at from there. But I think every one of them is happy to know that there’s a possibility for them to do “this extra bit of good,” in what they do. And I think patients respond most to knowing the types of outcomes that it might contribute to, so for example Alzheimer's research, Parkinson’s research. I think most of these patients have some experience with at least one of these conditions or another. I think the ones that come in asking are the ones who have already had the experience, that’s why they come in asking.

This text that was not in the edited video shows how the tissue samples are being used to promote scientific research in areas such as Alzheimers or Parkinson's research. So they are being used for positive things.

Here are the links if anyone is interested in reading the video transcripts.

Well this is great news! So they are only interested in selling dead babies to break even instead of make a profit. I feel so much better about it now.

It is legal, though! But yes you are correct. That Planned Parenthood sells dead baby parts is not in dispute, despite liberals trying to deny it. I have been assured that these transcripts are legitimate.

How Planned Parenthood hoax avoids the truth
www.cnn.com...

I thought about that rule of thumb as I read about the elaborate media hoax ginned up by the Center for Medical Progress, a right-wing group trying to discredit and defund Planned Parenthood.

Taking a page from the falsehoods and selectively-edited videos that brought about the defunding and bankruptcy of the left-wing advocacy group ACORN, the Center for Medical Progress strategy is to create a narrative, claim that its videos constitute damning evidence, and repeat that story enough times to give politicians the "proof" they need to attack Planned Parenthood

Anyone else tired of this so called news? At the end of the day PP isn't making money off of selling aborted tissues and abortion will continue to be legal. Time for many people to move on.

They wouldn't need to if it was funded with tax dollars, but abortions have to be funded with donations and their ability to break even.


Blame the ones who put them in that position.

Non profits don't break even, that's kind of misleading.
Credit unions are non profits but make interest on loans to increase assets.
They likely sell body parts to pay for other aspects of the facility and maintain working capital in their accounts.
The money is used to further achieve its purpose or mission and not distributed to shareholders or directors.
so technically it's not profit...

Way to use the emotion grabbing wording 'dead baby parts' versus fetal cells/fetus parts.

Planned parenthood did nothing wrong, what happened here is some anti-abortion nut jobs sensationalizing a non issue in hopes of turning the general public against Planned Parenthood.

The difference between a fetus and a baby is location, location, location. Once outside the womb they are babies, so 'dead baby parts' would be the proper term. 'Fetus parts' is simply a matter of cognitive dissonance.

a reply to: jrod

I like to mix it up a bit, throw in the term "dead baby parts" while simultaneously arguing that there is nothing legally wrong with what Planned Parenthood is doing.

a reply to: Bone75

If you say so, but I do not agree.

The use of the term 'dead baby parts' by those who wish to sensationalize this story seems like words chosen to play one's emotions.

a reply to: Bone75

The difference between a fetus and a baby is location, location, location.

Actually no. If you want to keep it simple, the difference between a fetus and a baby is lungs and AIR! Breath baby, breath, breath, breath!

Breaking even on preparing the donation, not causing the place as a whole to break even.

Right, that is what it sounds like.

a reply to: darkbake

Yeah, I don't get why Democrats are defending PP. I would suggest that they save their energies for a winnable argument or, at least, a cause with merit.

a reply to: greencmp

I think that a lot of Democrats support Planned Parenthood because only 3% of its operations include abortions. They provide other services as well, such as access to birth control.

That is what they say and it doesn't make any sense at all.

The implication is that none of those services are available anywhere else which is not true.

When I have pinned them down and get an honest response, it comes down to affordability. That is to say, it comes down to cost which I would find amusing to hear from anti-free market socialists if it weren't so horrifying.

a reply to: darkbake

Planned Parenthood sells "baby parts" the same way that someone stripping the metal off of a car frame and selling that is selling "car parts".

They may have access to those services elsewhere, but PP is by far the BEST provider of those services. After all, in Indiana when they defunded Planned Parenthood a few years ago, an HIV outbreak occurred.

So don't pretend like that JUST because the things PP provides can be obtained elsewhere that PP isn't necessary.

Comparing an immature human to a parts car is frankly disturbing.

The Democrats always believe in honesty and self-auditing.

I want to see the other sets of books.
