The Feds Are Investigating Allegations That Planned Parenthood Has Been Selling Baby Body Parts For Profit

Is Planned Parenthood finally going to be held accountable for their crimes against humanity?  Pro-life activists all over the nation are absolutely thrilled by reports about a potential FBI investigation of Planned Parenthood.  For the past several years, undercover video after undercover video has exposed what is going on deep inside Planned Parenthood clinics, but federal law enforcement authorities never took any action.  Of course we probably should not have expected any justice during the Obama years, but many were hoping that things would change under Trump, and that now appears to be happening.

For years, those of us in the pro-life community have been complaining that nobody from Planned Parenthood ever seems to get into trouble for anything even though they are committing some of the most heinous crimes imaginable.  Are we about to get the breakthrough that we have been hoping for?  The following comes from the Hill…

The FBI has asked the Senate for unredacted documents it obtained from abortion providers, signaling agents may be investigating whether Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers illegally sold fetal tissue and body parts, according to sources familiar with the document request.

The request was made in recent days, the sources said, to the Senate Judiciary Committee, whose chairman, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), last December referred Planned Parenthood and several other abortion providers to the FBI for investigation after a lengthy probe into the transfers of fetal tissue.

If the FBI truly is looking into these things, it should be a slam dunk.

As Lila Rose has said, the only thing that would keep top executives from Planned Parenthood from going to prison “is politics”…

Lila Rose, a prominent anti-abortion activist, praised the FBI’s document request.

“We, of course, applaud any action taken to follow the evidence to where it leads and to hold Planned Parenthood accountable,” she said. “The only thing that could hinder this investigation from leading to indictments of Planned Parenthood and the companies involved in the sale of fetal body parts is politics.”

This very exciting news comes at a time when we are learning even more about what is really going on inside Planned Parenthood clinics.  According to someone that actually participated in the practice of organ harvesting, Planned Parenthood used incentives such as bonuses to make sure that as many usable organs were harvested as possible…

A technician who participated in harvesting organs from aborted babies provided by Planned Parenthood says her company encouraged workers to obtain as many high-value samples as possible with incentives such as bonuses.

In the latest exposé from the Center for Medical Progress (CMP), former StemExpress procurement technician Holly O’Donnell admits bonuses varied according to body parts, with high-demand organs such as brains, hearts, lungs and eyes fetching top dollar.

In fact, Holly O’Donnell says that Planned Parenthood supervisors applied “maximum pressure” on the organ harvesters because this practice was so highly profitable…

O’Donnell also claimed there was always “maximum pressure” to procure as many samples as possible and that supervisors routinely expressed “It’s not an option, it’s a demand.”

StemExpress employees worked alongside abortionists in Planned Parenthood clinics in Northern California to extract body parts which were shipped via FedEx to researchers throughout the country. Planned Parenthood received compensation for “specimens” and gestated fetuses “determined in the clinic to be usable.”

Crimes against humanity such as this are taking place in Planned Parenthood clinics all around the country on a daily basis.  When I am elected to Congress, I will be leading the charge to hold Planned Parenthood executives accountable for what they have done.  And I am taking the “no money for Planned Parenthood ever” pledge.  I am promising that I will never, ever vote for any bill that contains any funding for Planned Parenthood, and I am calling on every other Republican to make the same pledge.

You cannot be pro-life and vote to fund Planned Parenthood, and it is time to hold Planned Parenthood accountable for the crimes that they have committed.

That is where I stand, and I am not moving.

US Scientists Made a Genetically Modified Human Embryo

By The Daily Sheeple | 

This is the first confirmed case of the gene editing of human embryos in the US and it gets scientists one step closer to the ability to create genetically engineered humans. Researchers in Portland, Oregon have used a powerful gene editing tool called CRISPR to create genetically modified human embryos, MIT Technology Review reported in an exclusive.

CRISPR, which is often compared to the cut-and-paste function on a word processor, is a powerful and comparatively new genetic engineering technique that allows scientists to make specific, targeted changes to the DNA of a plant, animal, or human. It’s relatively cheap and easy to use and has the potential to cure a wide range of diseases, such as muscular dystrophy or HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus). But scientists seem to be using it to create designer humans and animals instead leading to ethics questions.

In 2015, Chinese scientists used CRISPR to make muscled beagles. But even beyond the often-stated fear that gene editing will lead to a world of designer babies and “genetic have-nots,” CRISPR is still new and may have consequences we don’t understand.

Several countries have a ban or at least some type of regulation on gene editing in human embryos, although as the use of CRISPR speeds up in the lab, regulations, and viewpoints continue to evolve as well. Earlier this year, the US National Academy of Sciences said that editing the DNA of human embryos could be allowed in order to cure disease, with certain safeguards in place; and scientists are going ahead.

According to Motherboard, teams in China have edited human embryos at least three times, and earlier this year, a Chinese team reported another first: using CRISPR to correct genetic mutations in three normal human embryos. (Previous tests were done on non-viable embryos that couldn’t have produced children. According toTechnology Review, the US experiment destroyed embryos after a few days, with no intention to implant them.) Scientists in the US watched developments in China “with a combination of awe, envy, and some alarm,” Technology Review reported.

It looks like Americans were more than eager to try CRISPR for themselves. And the creation of a gene-modified human could happen anytime. Hopefully, scientists will use the technology for the greater good and actually cure viruses and illnesses rather than to create perfect humans in jars.
