Even if Planned Parenthood\u2019s executives hadn\u2019t been caught trying to \u201csell baby parts\u201d (and they were), there would still be plenty of things to go after.<\/p>\n

But these facts are ignored by\u00a0people like left-wing ‘skeptic’\u00a0blogger\u00a0Rebecca Watson (pictured below), who released a video<\/a> last week called, “Planned Parenthood is not selling baby parts, you f***ing idiots.”<\/p>\n

She sounds a little\u00a0upset.<\/p>\n

What has her\u00a0angry\u00a0is the\u00a0series of videos from the Center for Medical Progress<\/a>. Filmed\u00a0undercover, they document conversations between senior Planned Parenthood figures and people\u00a0they thought were with a company purchasing\u00a0fetal tissue.<\/p>\n

Time and again, the PP officials spoke of how they could supply human remains in exchange for cash. Nevertheless, Watson insists Planned Parenthood is innocent, claiming aborted fetuses are nothing more than “garbage” anyway….<\/p>\n

It\u2019s weird for those of us with two braincells to rub together, that this is even a thing. Because first of all, obviously Planned Parenthood doesn\u2019t sell BABY PARTS. J***** f***ing Ch****, get a hold of yourselves. Baby parts!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

She also\u00a0attacks Live Action, compares investigating Planned Parenthood\u00a0with conducting\u00a0a witch hunt, and likens\u00a0the abortion chain to victims of anti-Semitism. She also seems to think fetal tissue is crucial for life-saving research, apparently unaware that adult stem cells\u00a0can now be used<\/a>\u00a0for this purpose, or that there are actually practical advantages to doing so.<\/p>\n

What Watson doesn\u2019t<\/em> do, however, is\u00a0demonstrate that Planned Parenthood isn\u2019t trying to\u00a0get money\u00a0for human flesh.<\/p>\n

Granted,\u00a0it’s tough to\u00a0argue that\u00a0when\u00a0there’s footage of an executive complaining about \u201clowball\u201d prices and saying how much she wants a Lamborghini<\/a>. But, just for argument’s sake, let\u2019s pretend Planned Parenthood officials weren\u2019t caught haggling over the value of dead children. What about their other crimes?<\/p>\n
