WaPo: Undercover video shows Planned Parenthood official discussing fetal organs used for research

[Algernon Moncrieff]

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.

Bezos is well on track to turning it into the NY Post's sister paper.

2. Is this legal or not?

That's the bottom line. It may sound disgusting but if its legal the woman discussing this at lunch and sipping wine did nothing wrong and PP did nothing wrong.

I don't consider stem cells (for instance) body parts.

4. Alternate headline: "Planned Parenthood continues to follow law, provide much-needed health

services; right-wingers go to pieces because someone talks about abortion while eating a salad."
