The second damning video of a Planned Parenthood official haggling over the body parts of aborted unborn children was released today through the group called the Center for Medical Progress. Like the first video, abortion apologists and the media are scrambling to convince the public that there is no there, there; that these are not the Droids you are looking for; and to pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

Senator Harry Reid, good Mormon that he is, admitted that “These politically motivated videos raise questions, but nothing I’ve seen indicates that Planned Parenthood violated federal law,” and that this should not “take away from the important work Planned Parenthood does.” Politico went into a default mode of ‘heavily edited videos’ when it quoted Eric Ferrero, vice president of communications at PPFA: “This morning, another very heavily edited video was released by activists who have been widely discredited and who edited a video last week to twist its meaning completely and support false claims.”

FactCheck.org quoted various experts who claimed that ‘no one is making a profit here,’ including Carolyn Compton, the chief medical and science officer at Arizona State University, who dismissed the $30-$100 price for the aborted specimens. “I would say that whoever opined about ‘profit’ knows very little about the effort and expense involved in providing human biospecimens for research purposes.”

I wonder, did Dr. Joseph Mengele get properly reimbursed for his medical experimentations?
