Planned Parenthood: the ongoing horror show

This week the House Judiciary Committee has been holding a hearing on Planned Parenthood’s abortion practices, the first such hearing since a series of undercover videos produced by the Center for Medical Progress exposed how the abortion provider is selling aborted baby parts for profit.
 
Yesterday, Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ)) described a conversation from one of the videos which recounted two Planned Parenthood employees actually removing the brain of an unborn baby whose heart was still beating! ~

“One of these videos describes an incident where one of Planned Parenthood’s employees calls one of the younger employees over to witness something that was ‘kinda cool,’ that one of the babies’ hearts was still beating,” said Franks.

“The older employee then said, ‘Okay, this is a really good fetus, and it looks like we can procure a lot from it. We can procure a brain.’ And then using scissors, together the two employees, starting at the baby’s chin, cut upward through the center of this child’s face and pulled out the baby’s little brain and placed it in a container where it could later be sold,” he said.
 
“Mr. Chairman, I find it so crushingly sad that the only time this little baby was ever held by anyone in his short life was by those who cut his face open and took his brain,” said Franks during an emotional opening statement.

 

Odd isn’t it? Somehow the network news forgot to report on this hearing. They couldn’t even be bothered to mention the following points from the committee’s press release yesterday ~

• This is the first public hearing in the ongoing investigation being conducted by the Committee, and the Committee has indicated that it intends to hold Planned Parenthood accountable for its alleged actions.
Planned Parenthood advocates do not address the atrocities within the Center for Medical Progress’ videos and have no defense for the horrific acts described in the videos.
• Planned Parenthood receives over half a billion dollars from the federal government and Congress has an obligation to the American taxpayer to investigate its disturbing activities.
• The Supreme Court’s upholding of the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act in 2007 acknowledges the horrors of late-term abortions.
• The House has already passed the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which would prohibit abortions, with certain limited exceptions, when women are entering the sixth month of pregnancy and the Senate is urged to take up this legislation.

 

Thus far, the Center for Medical Progress has released nine videos exposing the truth about Planned Parenthood and their abortion business. Life Site provides a brief summary of each one HERE.

 
That’s nine different reports exposing not just the selling of fetal parts to the highest bidder, but callous disregard for the uniqueness and sanctity of each precious little life that they’re snuffing out. Yet after the initial outcry over the videos – and subsequent denials and false accusations of “heavily-edited” footage by PP – how much does the average drone even know about this ongoing horror show?

In a recent article at LifeSite Jonathon Van Maren, a writer and pro-life speaker (US & Canada), discussed how the mainstream media, and subsequently most North Americans, are pretty much oblivious to these chilling revelations about Planned Parenthood ~ The media is pro-abortion. Here’s how to make them spread the pro-life message. Van Maren offers some valuable advice for reaching the uninformed ~

… our role is to bring into the public square hard truths that much of the media is determined to keep hidden. This year, my comrades and I at the Canadian Centre for Bio-Ethical Reform reached well over a million Canadians with the truth about abortion: That it is an act of violence that destroys a developing human being. The media, which almost invariably chooses to blur out photos of abortion victims in their coverage of the postcards we distribute, is often almost irrationally angry about the work that we do. And one of the reasons they are angry is that we are smashing their monopoly on the dissemination of information […]
 
We know that we cannot just bring the truth about abortion forward and reasonably hope that the media will convey that information to their millions of readers and viewers. And so we pursue a very simple solution: We disseminate that information ourselves, from driving Truth Trucks into traffic jams, to setting up anti-abortion displays on sidewalks and university campuses, to delivering hundreds of thousands of postcards showing and telling the truth about abortion to mailboxes, street by street.

The media then often becomes what veteran pro-life strategist Gregg Cunningham calls a “force multiplier”—drawn to the controversy that inevitably surrounds pro-life activism, they show up with their cameras, film our projects, record our conversations, and ask us why we do what we do. And then they pass that information on—often in a twisted and biased form, true, but still, glimmers of truth shine through. This year alone, almost every major media outlet in Canada has covered our activism exposing abortion across the country. Hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of Canadians were again exposed to an abortion debate that is only just beginning to heat up.

Please do your part and forward this information to your low-information friends and family. Let’s all join the effort to spread the truth about the inhumane practice of abortion.
 
Because, as Van Maren concludes…

In an era where people often hear, whether by accident or by design, only what they want to, it is the task of pro-life activists to bring the truth directly to the people. We have to expect shock, disbelief, and even anger—because many people realize, for the first time, what abortion really is. There is no one else providing them with this information. But time after time, we see them process this information, and realign their worldview. And when they do, lives are saved.
