The GOP outrage is sparked by secretly recorded videos
showing Planned Parenthood officials discussing how to take tissue from aborted
fetuses for medical research. While Planned Parenthood say they have acted
legally and the tapes were edited, the videos have launched abortion into a
prominent issue for the coming presidential election.
That's these tapes.
Several Republican presidential candidates have claimed
that Planned Parenthood is “profiting” from abortions. But the full,
unedited video they cite as evidence shows a Planned Parenthood executive
repeatedly saying its clinics want to cover their costs, not make money, when
donating fetal tissue from abortions for scientific research.
Four experts in the field of human tissue procurement
told us the price range discussed in the video — $30 to $100 per patient —
represents a reasonable fee. “There’s no way there’s a profit at that price,”
said Sherilyn
J. Sawyer, the director of Harvard University and Brigham and Women’s
Hospital’s “biorepository.”
Thanks for voting against science and medical research, Elise.
