  "In his satirical solution to Ireland's prolific poor, especially among
   Catholics whose fish diet was thought to enhance fertility, Jonathan
   Swift suggested a new menu item: Succulent 1-year-olds for dinner.

   His essay "A Modest Proposal for Preventing the Children of Poor People
   from Being a Burthen to Their Parents or Country . . . " was intended
   to shake up the English and remind them that the Irish were, in fact,
   human beings. This took quite a while to sink in.
   "The archers are ready," King Edward I is told in "Braveheart."

   "Not the archers," the king replies. "Arrows cost money. Use up the
   Irish. The dead cost nothing."

   Obviously, the Irish survived to write newspaper columns. And civilized
   people don't eat babies — at least not roasted or steamed or as part of
   a ragout, as Swift suggested. But there are other ways to make use of
   the unborn, as revealed in the recent undercover video in which Planned
   Parenthood's senior director of medical services, Dr. Deborah Nucatola,
   explains how abortions can be performed so that body parts remain
   intact for medical research.

   Nucatola thought she was talking to two buyers from a human biologics
   company that would serve as middlemen in procuring fetal organs for
   biotech companies. But the two were actually actors hired by the
   Irvine, Calif.-based Center for Medical Progress, reported to be an
   antiabortion group.

   In the video, Nucatola is seen eating a salad, sipping wine and talking
   matter-of-factly about the procedures she uses. One gathers from her
   comments that she is a skilled abortionist.

   To ensure the viability of the calivarium (incomplete skull), for
   instance, Nucatola prefers to move the fetus into a breech position so
   that the head comes out last. Otherwise, dilation is usually
   insufficient to avoid crushing the skull. She also avoids grasping the
   torso where valuable organs are located.

   "I'm basically going to crush below, I'm going to crush above, and I'm
   going to see if I can get it all intact."

   Her comments were shocking enough, but they were magnified by the
   banality of the circumstances. A fetal liver here, a bite of Romaine
   there, a sip of wine. Nucatola's strictly clinical view was that such
   valuable live tissue (a.k.a. hearts and livers) shouldn't go to waste.
   By providing terminated products for research, she was facilitating an
   "extra bit of good."

   Apparently, this is also the view of women who sign the consent forms.
   At least donating one's issue to research is a way of casting abortion
   in a somewhat positive light, sort of like donating the organs of a
   deceased child. Except for all the obvious differences.

   I'm not trying to make anyone feel bad, but I do aim to avoid euphemism
   for the sake of clarity. Basically, the volume of older fetuses at some
   of Planned Parenthood's locations is so great that they have a disposal
   problem. What do you do with all these bodies?

   Environmental laws prevent throwing fetuses in the trash, and even if
   they could, some garbage collection companies refuse to pick them up.
   The middleman who, through sanitized packaging and clinical language,
   can clean up such a mess and, for a price, contribute to science is
   God-sent. Or is it from the other fellow?

   Some of the research using these "products of conception" is,
   ironically, for ailments common to the elderly — such as Alzheimer's
   and dementia. We seem to have traded "Soylent Green" wafers — food made
   from the remains of old folks forced into premature termination in the
   1973 film — for gestational organs. There is a certain hideous symmetry
   to this dispensation of human products — those too young or too old to
   be useful except when un-alive — but I'm not sure this is how the cycle
   of life was intended to unfold.

   Planned Parenthood's response to the video has focused on clarifying
   that no parts are sold for profit. The organization's affiliates only
   seek to recoup the cost of doing business. President Cecile Richards
   also has apologized for Nucatola's tone.

   But let's clarify further.

   Eventually, profits will be made — perhaps with medications enabled by
   research on a 24-week-old fetus's brain stem. Just think: No unwanted
   baby; no burden to society; plus treatment for someone's dementia — a
   perfect trifecta, made in hell.

   And tone isn't the issue. The issue is that we're commodifying human
   fetuses and harvesting parts for distribution in the marketplace, using
   rationalizations that can justify anything.

   The dead may cost nothing, but the livers of terminated fetuses are
   selling like hotcakes.

The Campaign of Deception Against Planned Parenthood
By THE EDITORIAL BOARD  JULY 22, 2015
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/22/opinion/the-campaign-of-deception-against-planned-parenthood.html

  "A hidden-camera video released last week purported to show that Planned
   Parenthood illegally sells tissue from aborted fetuses. It shows
   nothing of the sort. But it is the latest in a series of unrelenting
   attacks on Planned Parenthood, which offers health care services to
   millions of people every year. The politicians howling to defund
   Planned Parenthood care nothing about the truth here, being perfectly
   willing to undermine women's reproductive rights any way they can.

   The nine-minute video clip released by the Center for Medical Progress,
   an outfit apparently created in 2013, invites viewers to "Hold Planned
   Parenthood accountable for their illegal sale of baby parts." In it,
   Dr. Deborah Nucatola, Planned Parenthood's senior director of medical
   services, is seen discussing the collection of fetal tissue in a lunch
   meeting with two people posing as potential tissue buyers. A second
   video, released on Tuesday{**}, shows another Planned Parenthood staff
   member discussing fetal tissue.

   After the first video's release, Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky pledged
   to "introduce an amendment to pending Senate legislation to immediately
   strip every dollar of Planned Parenthood funding." Senator Ted Cruz of
   Texas called for defunding and for "an investigation of Planned
   Parenthood's activities regarding the sale and transfer of aborted body
   parts." The House Energy and Commerce Committee is undertaking an
   investigation, and Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas and Gov. Bobby Jindal of
   Louisiana have ordered investigations in their states.

   The full video of the lunch meeting, over two hours long and released
   by the Center for Medical Progress after complaints by Planned
   Parenthood, shows something very different from what these critics
   claim. Clearly, the shorter version was edited to eliminate statements
   by Dr. Nucatola explaining that Planned Parenthood does not profit from
   tissue donation, which requires the clear consent of the patient.
   Planned Parenthood affiliates only accept money — between $30 and $100
   per specimen, according to Dr. Nucatola — to cover costs associated
   with collecting and transporting the tissue. "This is not something
   with any revenue stream that affiliates are looking at," she said.
   Under federal law, facilities may be reimbursed for costs associated
   with fetal tissue donation, like transportation and storage.

   According to a letter sent by Roger Evans, a lawyer for Planned
   Parenthood, to the House Energy and Commerce Committee, the video is a
   result of a yearslong campaign of deception. The head of the Center for
   Medical Progress, David Daleiden, created a fake company called Biomax
   Procurement Services almost three years ago for the purpose of tricking
   Planned Parenthood employees, the letter alleges, even setting up
   exhibits at Planned Parenthood's national conferences. The letter also
   says Biomax offered a Planned Parenthood affiliate $1,600 for a fetal
   liver and thymus, presumably to trap the affiliate in the act of
   accepting a high payment for fetal tissue. The affiliate declined.

   In a statement on its website, the Center for Medical Progress says it
   "follows all applicable laws in the course of our investigative
   journalism work."

   Anti-abortion groups have long pushed to defund Planned Parenthood,
   even though no federal money is used to provide abortions. But that
   hasn't stopped their efforts to shut down the clinics, which provide
   services like contraception, cancer screening and other tests.

   The Center for Medical Progress — which managed to get tax-exempt
   status in 2013 as a biomedicine charity, according to a report by The
   Huffington Post — appears to have done little beyond producing the
   undercover video. According to its registration form with the
   California attorney general, it has three officers: Mr. Daleiden; Albin
   Rhomberg, who has participated in anti-abortion protests; and Troy
   Newman, the president of the anti-abortion group Operation Rescue.

   In a statement last week, Cecile Richards, the president of the Planned
   Parenthood Federation of America, said that "our donation programs —
   like any other high-quality health care providers — follow all laws and
   ethical guidelines" and that "Planned Parenthood stands behind our work
   to help women and families donate tissue for medical research when they
   wish to."

   Researchers use fetal tissue to study and develop treatments for
   diseases and conditions like H.I.V., hepatitis, congenital heart
   defects, retinal degeneration and Parkinson's. Last year, the National
   Institutes of Health gave $76 million in grants for fetal tissue
   research. Planned Parenthood is certainly not the only collector of
   fetal tissue — clinics associated with universities also supply tissue
   for research.

   The Center for Medical Progress video campaign is a dishonest attempt
   to make legal, voluntary and potentially lifesaving tissue donations
   appear nefarious and illegal. Lawmakers responding by promoting their
   own anti-choice agenda are rewarding deception and putting women's
   health and their constitutionally protected rights at risk.

   John Boehner coup: Mark Meadows files motion to oust House Speaker

   Tea party champion Rep. Mark Meadows filed a motion Tuesday to oust
   House Speaker John A. Boehner from his leadership post, escalating the
   feud between a faction of conservative lawmakers and the Republican
   leadership.

   Mr. Meadows, North Carolina Republican, filed a motion to "vacate the
   chair," which could force a no-confidence vote by the full chamber and
   result in the removal of Mr. Boehner as speaker.

   In the resolution, Mr. Meadows says Mr. Boehner, Ohio Republican, "has
   endeavored to consolidate power and centralize decision-making,
   bypassing the majority of the 435 Members of Congress and the people
   they represent."

   He accused the speaker of limiting debate, pushing legislation to the
   brink to compel votes in a state of crisis, and moving to "punish
   Members who vote according to their conscience" instead of how he wants.

   The Meadows resolution says Mr. Boehner has caused the Congress to
   "atrophy," making it "subservient" to the executive and judicial
   branches. Read more
