Planned Parenthood is not selling organs.
Fetuses don’t have organs that are worthwhile to anyone. Most organs are developing throughout all 40 weeks. Most abortions (89% in 2010) happen in the 1st trimester/12 weeks. (For amount comparison: A fetus is 3 inches long and 1oz in weight at the end of the first trimester.)
Fetuses do have fetal tissue, which can be used to make stem cells.
Stem cells are used to find cures and treatments for various diseases (like diabetes and Parkinson’s) and injuries (like crushed spinal cords.)
Fetal tissue has already been used to make many of our vaccines.
Planned Parenthood performs abortions and - if the patient permits it - donates the fetal tissue to organizations who wish to use it.
This includes people who need abortions for health reasons.
There are people who have lost their wanted pregnancies due to disease and conditions.
They may choose to donate fetal tissue to help others from suffering through the same heartache.
As noted above, fetal stem cells do a lot of good. Even if the person chooses a “therapeutic” abortion, they may donate the fetal tissue to help people with diseases, conditions, and injuries that may benefit from research.
Planned Parenthood is charging for storage, handling, and transportation of the specimen.
At $30 to $100, that’s a pretty minimal cost and reasonable.
Also, it’s perfectly legal.
Seriously, research that needs/uses fetal tissue may help hundreds, maybe thousands, of people.
Planned Parenthood isn’t nefarious.
Fetal tissue may be the key to treating and curing diseases,conditions, and injuries that affect thousands and their families.
Abortion is going to happen, anyway. Fetuses are going to die, anyway. Their tissue can help people.
"I am deeply concerned over the impact it might have on our community," says Rep. Scott DesJarlais.
An appeal to my fellow Tennesseeans: Please, please, PLEASE stop electing people like this to represent us!
I Thought I Was Mad When I Saw How Many Abortion Clinics They Have. Then I Saw The Gun Dealers. (via Upworthy)
In Septemeber 2014, Missouri lawmakers decided women must wait 72 hours to “reflect on their decision” before they can get an abortion. ‘Cause, ya know, an abortion is one of those spur-of-the-moment decisions like ordering pay-per-view or having another glass of wine. And what about cases of rape, incest, or medical complications? Well, they have to wait 72 hours too.
On its own, this is pretty upsetting. But when you consider how easy it is to get one of those shiny metal things used to take people’s lives? That’s when the blinding rage sets in.
It took a few months, but my positive horror series is finally finished! A silly little project I started late September ended up with 14 images and rekindling my love of horror!
And as always, these designs can be purchased as stickers, prints, bags, pillows and more on my Redbubble store!

The real frauds are those who, in the face of facts, still choose to believe that individuals receiving a little over a hundred dollars worth of aid a month are greedy mooches yet take no issue with corporate welfare doled out to already thriving “people” to the tune of billions. Welfare queens exist, but you’re not going to find them in housing projects.
