Let\u2019s try a thought experiment.<\/p>\n

Imagine a friend brings you to the airport. When you arrive, he explains that he\u2019s a little short on cash, so it\u2019d be great if you could pay for the gas he used to drive you there. You happily agree and ask him what the total comes to. He looks at you for a moment and then says, “Well, that depends. How much are you used to paying?”<\/p>\n

For most people, this approach to covering expenses would raise eyebrows. For Planned Parenthood, it\u2019s business as usual.<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood is America\u2019s largest abortion chain, performing over three hundred thousand<\/a> every year. Of course, that leaves them with plenty of eyes, hearts, lungs, livers, kidneys and other severed body parts to dispose of. Now, they could, like abortion advocate Rebecca Watson suggests<\/a>, just dismiss these these human remains as \u201cgarbage\u201d and throw them in a dumpster.<\/p>\n

But why do that? After all, companies like StemExpress<\/a> make money\u00a0furnishing tissue to researchers, so they\u2019ll be happy to take those little bodies away.<\/p>\n

For cash.<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards claims the group doesn\u2019t “profit in any way” from the sale of human organs. According to her, Planned Parenthood is only reimbursed for the expenses associated with\u00a0providing them. If that\u2019s the case, then Richards should really speak to her executives–they seem to have other ideas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One of them is Dr. Mary Gatter, president of Planned Parenthood\u2019s Medical Directors Council. In\u00a0the second\u00a0video released by the Center for Medical Progress<\/a> (CMP), Gatter is shown meeting with people she believed were fetal tissue buyers.<\/p>\n
