A seventh undercover video catching Planned Parenthood’s haggling and harvesting of “intact fetal cadavers” was released on Tuesday by the Center for Medical Progress. Viewers will find the latest video content gruesome. At one point an ex-procurement technician describes cutting through an unborn baby’s face to harvest an intact brain while the camera captures the corpse of a fully developed aborted child.
Prolife Americans are preparing to gather for the National Day of Protests against Planned Parenthood this weekend to confront this human rights atrocity. Christians must stand among them too.
“These videos reveal Planned Parenthood’s inhumane and gruesome business,” writes Wendy Wright, a veteran pro-life advocate and Vice President for the Center for Family and Human Rights Institute (C-FAM). “Planned Parenthood is not hidden in dark alleys. Their buildings are nestled in neighborhoods and busy cities. They are feted by politicians who lavish them with our tax dollars. They bestow awards on journalists, and get donations from media conglomerates. They are shrewdly intertwined with the most powerful people in society.”
As Proverbs 24:11-12 instructs:
Rescue those who are being taken away to death;
hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter.
If you say, “Behold, we did not know this,”
does not he who weighs the heart perceive it?
Does not he who keeps watch over your soul know it,
and will he not repay man according to his work?
Young Evangelicals talk a lot about “social justice.” Well, now is our chance to leave our laptops and coffee shop hideouts and actually “do justice.” On Saturday, August 22, from 9-11 AM the Church has an opportunity to speak up and “defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed” as Psalms 82:3 instructs us. The events will include peaceful demonstrations, sidewalk prayers and guest speakers.
Planned Parenthood’s barbaric murder, harvesting, and selling of aborted baby parts breathes new life into theologian and anti-Nazi dissident Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s famous words, “Silence in the face of evil is evil itself: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.”
“These videos tear Planned Parenthood’s veil of respectability to give us a glimpse. And now we cannot say we did not know,” continued Wright. “The least we can do is protest.”

ProLife activists have known for decades the horrific truth of these practices. It has not been until we had the internet which can override the “veil of secrecy” imposed upon the nation by the news media and the elected officials allied with them that the common deluded lay person can not only be informed, but be held glaringly responsible for these ghoulish practices. Americans must stand tall and informed firmly opposing this flood of vampires and cannibals.

The many families who need the other medical services that Planned Parenthood offers will suffer if Planned Parenthood is closed down.
Their abortion services don’t account for more than 3% of their overall menu, and no tax dollars are used for abortions.
Funny how the Right-wing zealots want to throw out the baby with the bath- water! (Sure, play with that pun. I set it up!)
To radically change this practice, a Law would require being dismantled, and I can’t see that happening any time soon.
