Planned Parenthood still inexplicably receives hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer funding, despite numerous scandals, criminal activities, and continual lies<\/a>. And starting a decade ago, undercover journalists from the Center for Medical Progress sought to expose one of the most gruesome aspects of this corporation: its partnerships with fetal tissue harvesters.<\/p>\n

In the Human Capital Project<\/a>, the Center for Medical Progress (CMP)’s pro-life investigators, David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt, went undercover for two years to expose Planned Parenthood\u2019s trafficking in the body parts of aborted children. They found that, even as Planned Parenthood denied the humanity of the preborn children it killed, it often sought to profit from the sales of the babies’ body parts.<\/p>\n

Lying about heartbeats and prenatal development<\/h3>\n

One of the biggest criticisms leveled against Planned Parenthood is that it has a history of lying about prenatal development<\/a>. Staffers have been caught calling preborn babies in the first trimester “undeveloped blobs<\/a>,” with one staffer specifically saying that organs aren’t present in the first trimester.<\/p>\n

One staffer was caught lying about a 1o-week preborn child in a Live Action undercover investigation, saying, “[A]t this point, there\u2019s nothing developed at all. There\u2019s no legs, no arms, no brain, no heart<\/strong>,” At this point, it\u2019s just the embryo itself” (emphasis added). Yet preborn children have remarkable development in the first trimester<\/a>:<\/p>\n
