Even Hillary Clinton & Nancy Pelosi recipients of Planned Parenthoods highest honor are mum.

A second undercover video released Tuesday shows another Planned Parenthood official talking about using a
less crunchy" way to perform abortions while preserving salable fetal tissue.
Its the lie that these are not human beings worthy of protection. And all Planned Parenthood can do is
apologize the tone.
Planned Parenthood head Cecile Richards apologized last week for the uncompassionate tone her senior director of medical research Deborah Nucatola
used to explain the process by which she harvests aborted body parts to be provided for medical research.
Nucatola had been caught on an
undercover video talking to anti-abortion activists posing as representatives of a biological tissue procurement company. The abortion doctor
said
Id say a lot of people want liver" and a lot of people want intact hearts these days." Explaining how she could perform later-term abortions to aid the harvesting of such intact organs she said
Weve been very good at getting heart lung liver because we know that so Im not gonna crush that part Im gonna basically crush below Im gonna crush above and Im gonna see if I can get it all intact."
A second
undercover video released Tuesday shows another Planned Parenthood official talking about using a
less crunchy" way to perform abortions while preserving salable fetal tissue.
This is stomach-turning stuff. But the problem here is not one of tone. Its the crushing. Its the organ harvesting of fetuses that abortion-rights activists want us to believe have no more moral value than a fingernail.
Its the lie that these are not human beings worthy of protection.
There is no nice way to talk about this. As my friend and former Obama White House staffer Michael Wear
tweeted
It should bother us as a society that we have use for aborted human organs but not the baby that provides them."
Richards worked to discredit the video by
complaining it was heavily edited." But the nearly three-hour
unedited video a nauseating journey through the inner workings of the abortion industry was posted at the same time as the
edited video.
Richards intoned menacingly that the video was secretly recorded." So what? When Mitt Romney was caught by secret video" making his 47 remarks the means of attaining the information
was not the focus of the story.
Planned Parenthoods public relations firm also portrayed the crushing and organ harvesting as a
humanitarian undertaking" and tried to tarnish the maker of the video with a
white paper that deemed him unfit because he once wrote an article for the opposition" outlet
The Weekly Standard a well-respected conservative magazine. Lets talk about anything except the information disclosed by Nucatola.
Its a measure of how damning the video is that Planned Parenthoods usual defenders were nowhere to be found. There was
total silence from
The New York Times editorial board and their 10 (out of 11) pro-abortion rights columnists.
Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi both recipients of Planned Parenthoods highest honor the Margaret Sanger Award
have been mum. But a few loyalists took up the cause including
Washington Post columnist Petula Dvorak 
whose column was headlined: Planned Parenthood deserves to be supported not attacked."
Actually its fetuses who are under attack. By Planned Parenthood.
Dvorak invoked a common defense against the barbarism of late-term abortion: The details are gruesome as are many medical procedures and how doctors and nurses tell stories about the operating room." But nobody is morally repulsed by stories of heart transplants.
Mississippi abortion doctor Willie Parker who was lauded by
Esquire for his
abortion ministry" ran with the trope that direct quotes from a Planned Parenthood doctor constitute a vicious attack but went a step further: He
compared Nucatola to Jesus.
Its no secret that my frame of reference for the work that I do and in terms of generating compassion is related to my religious understanding and in particular my Christian religious understanding" Parker told Cosmopolitan magazine.
Im thinking about a strong parallel between whats happening to my colleague (Nucatola) and the trial week of Jesus before he was crucified (as) he was marched from place to place asked to answer allegations."
When abortion doctors are elevated to gods who may not be questioned or held
accountable society has officially gone off the rails.
