Some donated remains were reportedly used as test dummies to serve as examples of how a human body would react to certain explosions, and other unnamed experiments. The company exposed in this scandal, Biological Resource Center, was taken to court &#8212; along with the buyers that purchased the donated remains &#8212; and were forced to pay a compensation fee to the devastated families involved.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the work of The Center for Medical Progress (CMP) in exposing the abortion industry&#8217;s role in the trafficking of aborted baby body parts, the world has also known since 2015 that the nation&#8217;s largest abortion corporation &#8212; Planned Parenthood &#8212; also sells the body parts of human beings. The difference? Biological Resource Center was forced to pay for its crimes. Planned Parenthood, however, still gets half a billion in taxpayer dollars every year, despite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jjxwVuozMnU&amp;list=PL_S490a2o7lTPt1CNEpI37RJO7JOcS2Rs\">damning video evidence<\/a> (which, incidentally, was <em>not allowed to be viewed<\/em>\u00a0by a jury <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/center-for-medical-progess-guilty\/\">that just held The Center for Medical Progress liable in court<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: none; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Flilagracerose%2Fposts%2F10157974438798000&amp;width=500\" width=\"500\" height=\"555\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Planned Parenthood employees were caught by CMP&#8217;s hidden cameras, callously discussing preborn children&#8217;s body parts, profits, and prices. But while these revelations shocked the world, this grisly trade isn&#8217;t really new.<\/p>\n<p>The Cedar River abortion facility in Washington State has apparently <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/baby-body-parts-harvesting-so-common-naf-had-presentation-on-it\/\">been trading body parts for profit for years<\/a>, as the facility gave a lecture on it at the National Abortion Federation Conference back in 2015. The facility discussed how to carry out such a task and what preservation techniques must be used, etc., while also making it clear that selling baby body parts is a very profitable business.\u00a0A<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/planned-parenthoods-baby-body-parts-harvesting-nationwide-travesty\/\"> list of facility and doctor names<\/a> compiles the number of abortion facilities involved in this black market, revealing that it is a prevalent industry, including over 20 facilities across the nation.
