How to turn a dead baby into big bucks

As reported by Life Dynamics, Inc., of Denton, Texas, Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion provider, has found a new way to turn the abortion industry into even bigger dollars.

Life Dynamics last week released a 64 page document that contains numerous invoice orders, price guides and advertising for the remains of aborted babies. Pharmaceutical companies, research institutes and universities can order organs, whole bodies and body parts through third party companies like Opening Lines and Anatomic Gift Foundation (AGF), who in turn retrieve the remains at Planned Parenthood abortion clinics around the country.

Because the sale of fetal tissue is illegal, ``site fees'' and ``services'' rendered create the incentive to distribute the dead babies. Price guides published in the Life Dynamic report show that processing and shipping of brains, hearts, livers, lungs, etc, draw specific charges, while Planned Parenthood clinics charge ``site fees'' to companies like Opening Lines and AGF for processing on abortion clinic premises.

Because partial birth abortion is the only existing method that provides the industry with the whole cadavers needed for accurate dissection and distribution, questions have been raised concerning the validity of the procedure. Planned Parenthood has claimed in the past that partial birth abortions were done for reasons of safety, efficiency and convenience, but it is now believed that fetal tissue profits have been the motivation for the procedure.
