Dear Friends for Life,

Every year, Planned Parenthood receives over $500 million of U.S. taxpayer money to fund abortions. To this, it has recently been revealed that more money is made selling aborted baby parts. That's right! Planned Parenthood not only terminates the lives of unborn babies but they also sell aborted body parts for additional profit.

Live Action has released the following information: Planned Parenthood's Director of Medical Services, Dr. Deborah Nucatola, describes on tape how she uses the illegal partial-birth abortion method to manipulate the preborn child so he or she comes out whole, crushing other parts of the baby's body that are not deemed valuable. This is sickening, barbaric, and exposes the unimaginable horror that is Planned Parenthood. You can watch the video from the Center for Medical Progress here, and read the article at this link.

After viewing the shocking video, it is difficult to understand how anyone can defend Planned Parenthood. What separates us from the Nazis who committed similar crimes 73 years ago? The United States prides itself on protecting the rights of all peoples. On what grounds do these same people freely elect a government that funds and actively supports this killing industry? It's mind-bogging!

On the other hand, the United States condemns China, North Korea, Russia and others for human rights violations. Is it not time for the United States to do some serious soul-searching. Many Americans view abortion as a "human right". The Supreme Court holds that a woman has a "constitutional right" to abort her living child.

Not surprising, the Administration's reply to this recent scandal is:  It's "Ethical". Lifenews.com notes: "President Barack Obama's top spokesman Josh Ernest today defended the Planned Parenthood abortion business after a shocking new expose' video caught Planned Parenthood's top doctor describing how the abortion business sells the body parts of aborted babies. Earnest says Planned Parenthood follows "the highest ethical guidelines". Yet are not partial-birth abortions and the selling of human body parts illegal across the U.S.? Are not all Americans bound by these laws, including the Adminstration and Planned Parethood?

One related company's reaction to the video: Company Buying Aborted Baby Body Parts From Planned Parenthood: "We're Proud" Of Doing It.

The preborn child did not consent to his or her abortion, and certainly did not consent to being cut up and sold to buyers for personal financial profit. Human dignity demands that our unborn babies, from their very beginning, receive full protection as human persons under the law.

Let's put an end to the Culture of Death. Since the legalization of abortion in 1973, there have been a little over 58 million abortions performed by adults in the United States. Unbelieveable! The lives of 50 million babies terminated. Without proper burial, how many of these have been sold as body parts for on the open market??? Is it not time to listen to God's Words, acknowledge the importance of the Culture of Life and become voices for the Natural Right to Life for unborn babies? "Do not be afraid to speak out, nor allow yourself to be silenced: I am with you." (Acts18: 9)

God Bless
