The Weekly Standard’s John McCormack posted the background documents that Planned Parenthood’s public relations firm sent to reporters regarding the organization’s human organ harvesting programs. Those programs came to light when Dr. Deborah Nucatola was videotaped discussing them over a glass of wine while munching on a salad during a meeting with actors posing as buyers of aborted baby parts.

….

The transcript and videos are clear that Nucatola is discussing how much money to sell aborted baby parts for. But in this backgrounder, Planned Parenthood is claiming the discussion was actually about how abortion clinics pay mothers $30 to $100 per abortion if they donate the body of their child. That’s certainly an interesting claim. Journalists should ask them to explain more about this payment program, as well as what the total payment they receive from purchasing companies for the bodies of aborted children. If they claim they’re paying mothers $30 to $100 for the bodies of their aborted babies, how much more than that are they claiming to sell the bodies for since, as they state, there are many “additional expenses related [to] tissue donation“?

Planned Parenthood’s public relations firm Camino Public Relations was unable at press time to respond to questions about the program and was unable to give a time frame for when they would be able to respond. This story will be updated when they do.
