Cecile Richards, President of Planned Parenthood, while vehemently denying the organization has done anything illegal, unethical or immoral, now says the organization will no longer accept payments in exchange for fetal body parts.
I think she supposes that will end the controversy, but it doesn't.
"Our decision not to take any reimbursement for expenses should not be interpreted as a suggestion that anyone else should not take reimbursement or that the law in this area isn’t strong." So, I presume that a third party could accept such payments and then make donations to Planned Parenthood?
Richards says that this is all about a political attack against abortions. In so saying, she is asserting that the deliberate and illegal manipulation of the abortion procedure in order to harvest body parts is agreeable with her and her moral conscience. She is also saying that failure to disclose to patients what will happen to the unborn body parts is ethical. Finally, she is flatly disregarding the feelings and wishes of the vast majority of Americans who find such practices beyond disgusting.
Undoubtedly, she would have been highly regarded in Nazi Germany.
This cannot end here. This capitulation cannot interfere with investigation and the filing of criminal charges as appropriate. The medical credentials of every individual who participated in this ugly travesty must be revoked and firm standards of conduct must be enacted and adhered to through regular inspections by government regulators.
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
