“HOW DID AMERICA BECOME A COUNTRY THAT HARVESTS ORGANS FROM UNBORN CHILDREN?”
|| By FITSNEWS || U.S. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas is the latest GOP presidential candidate to run ads touting his opposition to government-subsidized abortion provider Planned Parenthood.
In a television spot set to air in Iowa (in advance of Cruz’s scheduled Rally for Religious Liberty in the Hawkeye State), Cruz takes aim at the organization – which has been rightfully railed in the aftermath of shocking undercover videos exposing the agency’s gruesome harvesting and sale of body parts from aborted fetuses.
“For a century, Americans have helped heal and care for millions in need,” the narrator of Cruz’s ad states. “Our values propelled extraordinary innovation. America made the world better.”
“So how did America become a country that harvests organs from unborn children. And who has the courage to stop it?”

Cruz vows in the ad to prosecute and defund Planned Parenthood.
In addition to efforts at the federal level led by Cruz and U.S. Rep. Rand Paul (another 2016 candidate who has run ads on this issue), lawmakers in South Carolina are also preparing the state’s response to this issue.
As well they should …
Planned Parenthood’s for-profit organ harvesting scheme is “a stain on individual liberty … and basic human decency,” as we noted earlier this month.
“What we are dealing with is a holocaust, pure and simple … and there’s a special place in hell for those profiting off of it,” we wrote last month as the scandal broke. “There’s also a special place in hell for the politicians and mainstream media outlets turning a blind eye to this story.”
Unfortunately, U.S. president Barack Obama has vowed to veto any attempt to defund Planned Parenthood, which has so far only apologized for the “tone” of the undercover videos.
The best take we’ve heard yet on this debate?
A tweet from former Obama staffer Michael Wear.
“It should bother us as a society that we have use for aborted human organs, but not the baby that provides them,” Wear wrote.
Amen to that … and best of luck to all of those seeking to restore the balance.

Are you still swallowing the heavily edited videos and buying this sting as 100% accurate? Take off your blinders and do some real journalism on this issue.
So, you have no problem with murdering children, dissecting them and selling their corpses for medical experiments. Your jackboots are calling.
I have no problem with Planned Parenthood providing fetal tissue for research into fetal disease when the agonized parents have elected to give their consent for the transer of the tissue. Why do you? Medical research is good. It helped get rid of Polio in America and is solving for many health issues. But I guess you don’t agree – you’d rather we return to blood letting and leaches to cure for sickness.
I’m sure you had no problem with the NAZIs Party killing Jews, as long as they made lampshades with the skin, right?
Anybody ever tell you, you have a very practical approach to the most heinous of crimes.
Have you ever seen those lamp shades up close? I have. Have you seen the child’s toy boat that uses the skin for a sale, and the tatoo’d number as the number on the sale? I have. Have you ever seen the actual pile of gold fillings, or silver fillings, or the hair? I have. Have you ever been the museum in Jerusalem? I have. So don’t you dare lecture me on Nazi’s killing Jews. Leveraging the tissue of a fetus that has ceased to be a viable pregnancy is no different then when you die and we take your brain for examination. The only difference is, the tissue for a fetus will help us solve for fetal abnormalities. When we examine your brain – our hopes are not quite as high.
So you’re upset that the Nazis used Jewish holocaust victim’s skin after they were dead but are totally cool with PP using fetal body parts after they’re dead. I guess if the Nazis sold the Jews organs for research, you’d be ok with that too.
So the difference Jackie, and one you continue to overlook, is that in the case of the terminated pregnancy, the fetus is no longer a viable pregnancy, for a variety of reasons, including miscarriage or abnormality. And that, is a whole lot different than herding 1,000 women and children into a gas chamber. BTW – abortion is legal in Israel – where it must be approved by a committee – which approves every 98 or 100 requests.
I’m not even sure what the first sentence is. It’s incomprehensible. Surely you’re not claiming that most babies aborted in the US were aborted because of a miscarriage or abnormality right?
Also, there’s no difference in ripping the arms/legs/head off a non-human fetus and selling its parts than herding a lot of non-human Jews into a train and sending them to the gas chamber from the perspective of the killers.
Also, I’m not really sure why you think because Jews do something, that makes it all good.
My point is that in the cases where a pregnancy is terminated because of a fetus that has failed to remain viable, or in the case of abnormality, the use of that tissue for medical research, whilest not pretty, can be beneficial.
Sorry Rocky.If you support Planned Parenthood and the abortion genocide in this country you are really no different than the Nazi’s.
Neither one of you value the sanctity of life.How can one be a father or mother and sanction killing the unborn? Pure evil.
Your passion for removing the confederate flag (you and about 3 others cared outside SC) was noted-as your disdain and sic hatred for the most vulnerable in our society-the unborn.
My guess is some of you eat frog legs and would probably eat the unborn if you could get away with it.
The issue between us is when life begins. You believe it’s a conception. I do not.
If it doesn’t begin at conception, then when does it begins? I’ve yet to hear a good answer to that from those who say it doesn’t begin at conception.
and you won’t hear a good answer because there isn’t one.
I’m sure the NAZIs took the skin from deceased Jews. And just because you have witnessed your slaughter of the innocents, does not make you any less culpable.
I’d say it makes you even more guilty.
Hooray!
The Tuskegee Syphilis Experiments were wonderful as well! Cheers to medical advancements! (all in the name of mother science)
Rocky Verdad, your ‘last name’ ought to be Mentira instead. You said, “medical research is good. It helped get rid of Polio.” The original Polio vaccine didn’t have any ‘fetal tissue’ or ‘fetal stem cells’ in it, and it worked like a charm. Here’s what the new Polio vaccine and the new ‘scientific research’ has led to: http://www.collective-evolution.com/2014/09/05/human-fetal-dna-fragments-in-vaccines-are-a-possible-cause-for-autism-according-to-this-stanford-scientist/
I didn’t say it did have fetal tissue. I said medical research is good.
Stop circumventing truth.
It has been proven that Adult stemcells provide better research & better cures. Cold people like you are blinded by Satan. I should really feel sorry for you.
Did I miss the part where planned parenthood is snatching children out of playgrounds or school rooms to harvest their organs? Oh that’s right, I understand the difference between a first term fetus and a fully developed child. I also understand that if you are not the one who is pregnant than it is none of your business what choice that person makes. I further understand that the use of fetal tissue in research to cure horrific diseases amongst the living breathing inhabitants of this planet is a vital necessity and it seems to me you should also care about the actual living breathing inhabitants of this planet as much as you care about an undeveloped fetus and lastly, I know for a fact that abortion is a legal procedure in this country no matter how hard you try to demonize it.
Hitler would have loved to have you working for him. You are very matter of fact about murder. You rationalize your callous sin, very well.
My 3 children have asked for you to shut the hell up.
They sound like brats.
Come on…I expect more from you…how about Hitler Youth? Commie kids? Mindless slaves of the public school system? Indoctrinated youth? You must be new to the right wing trolling mechanism…check in with your brethren on the right to get the most up to date list of catchy slogans and comebacks when you don’t have a credible argument….
Brother, your “credible arguments” are as follows:
1. The tapes were edited (ignoring that full length videos were also posted)
2. Abortion is legal (ignoring that saying something is legal is not a reason it should remain legal)
3. PP isn’t making money on the sale. (ignoring that handling fees are often inflated costs and part of profit)
4. Who cares what they do with the tissue after the fetus is aborted? (ignoring that there’s a perverse incentive to encourage women to have abortions to harvest organs)
5. Most of what PP does is not abortions. (Ignoring that women can receive non-abortion services at any multitude of doctor’s offices)
6. You want to oppress women’s rights. (Ignoring that roughly half of fetuses aborted are women who have no rights)
7. Silent seething.
Devastating
(winning)
Right wing trolling mechanism? Is that somehow worse than the left wing trolling mechanism you are using? Two can play that game so why play it all. It’s nothing but a deflection.
Don’t you realize they look in your eyes and know you are souless and that they are no more important than the family dog?
Nice non-sequitur BS. (“snatching children out of playgrounds” severely cripples your overall argument and credibility)
FYI, abortion is not a “legal” procedure as you broadly place it. It’s a question of fundamental rights. A mother’s constitutional right to end her pregnancy must meet the undue burden test. Specifically, a state law that infringes on this fundamental right is invalid if the particular regulation does not “unduly burden” the fundamental right, then the regulation rationally relates to a legitimate state purpose (aka alternative to strict scrutiny).
Certain terminations meet this test and others do not, based on current jurisprudence.
(thinks the fetuses being sold for body parts are first term)
(think unless you care about all the wrongs in the world equally, you can’t care about any)
(guy in 1851 saying “I know for a fact that slavery is legal in this country no matter how hard you try to demonize it.”)
(Has no examples of any diseases cured by fetal tissue research)
He does have a point Jackie. Under current law, what the mother and father of the fetus decide to do, quite fairly, is none of your business. Now, if you can get that law changed……..
An argument that something is legal currently is not a reason it should remain legal.
Imagine for a minute that your friend wants pot legalized. He outlines the reasons it should be legalized. Your argument in opposition is “Well, it’s illegal now.”
It’s a non-argument and anyone with an IQ higher than 75 can see that.
My last sentence – if you can get the law changed. But just remember, that 60% of Americans support the right of a woman or a couple to choose to terminate a pregnancy. And even within the other 40%, there’s a lot of disagreement over exceptions.
(totally misses the point of this article and thread)
This is totally false.
Only 29% support abortions under any circumstances.
51% think it should be legal only in certain circumstances, while 19% think it should be illegal in all circumstances.
An equal number of people think abortion is morally wrong and morally acceptable.
64% of Americans think abortion should be illegal in the second trimester, while 80% think it should be illegal in the third trimester.
http://www.gallup.com/poll/1576/Abortion.aspx
Thank you for updating my information. Still, 51% plus 30% is a pretty high number.
I would take it the other way- 51% plus 19% would make abortion illegal in most instances. See the figures on Second and third trimester abortions as an example. 56% of americans oppose a woman choosing to have an abortion for any reason whatsoever. So what we’re looking at is a likely scenario where most americans support a woman’s right to have an abortion in the first trimester for rape/incest/life of mother and possibly into the second and third trimesters for life of mother.
51% in certain circumstances – but what are they. Is 40% of that saying the circumstance is simply prior to 20th week? Or 16th week? You can’t assume that the 51% under certain circumstances is only case of death to mother. Gallup also reports 50% are pro-choice. But either way, if you want to change it – get the law changed.
I’m not even sure what your point is. It’s almost as if you’re saying if you want to change the law then change the law, which again, is a non statement. It’s literally saying nothing. I’m not even sure what you’re contributing at this point other than stating the obvious.
Serious question: Do you go around to other news websites and offer insightful comments like”if you want to change the zoning law, then change the zoning law” or “If you want to eat healthier then eat healthier” or “If you want to write a book, then write a book?”
Well, God disagrees 100% !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Keith Poe, you mean you are advocating for “the use of fetal tissue in research” for the type of ‘science’ that is a “vital necessity” for the sake of humanity like this? http://www.collective-evolution.com/2014/09/05/human-fetal-dna-fragments-in-vaccines-are-a-possible-cause-for-autism-according-to-this-stanford-scientist/
Can’t face the fact you were caught killing babies, and selling the parts.
You have to very ignorant to be a Democrat. You are a very sound party comrade.
(guy who only listens to NPR/Huffpo and, as a result, didn’t know full videos were also released)
Keith Hope, the videos are not “edited.” They are condensed for the sake of time. They have simply highlighted the more egregious parts. This is what all the news outlets do too. Otherwise, we would be subjected to countless hours of material. Anyway, the Center for Medical Progress has released the full unedited versions too. ?Have you bothered to sit through all the hours of taping? #GetInformed #DefundPP #DefundPlannedParenthood
It wouldn’t help this heartless person to watch the full version. don’t waste your time.
Abortion is the taking of a human life which is only acceptable in a case of self defense.
Self defense is only an acceptable excuse for taking another human life when you are in danger of death or grievous bodily harm.
There was a representative , I think from Texas, that wanted to arm fetuses. Cool idea. “Come take me bitch” . LOL
Is he wearing hush puppy’s? What a dork!!!
But you wear “Hush Babies.” How disgusting.
Actually I wear slip-ons made in Brazil (very comfortable) or Brazilian dress shoes made of soft leather. Again, very comfortable. But on those days I work from home I’m more likely to wear Quick Silver flip flops. And when I kick you’re ass I”ll probably just wear Timberlands.
Killing defenseless babies is easy for you. I’ll fight back w/ unnatural strength. And I’m sure you’ll cower.
Wish I could get me a pair of Hush GrandTangos.
The nation is waking up to the holocaust the Democrat abortion industry is perpetuating. And we’re recoiling in disgust.
Go Sen. Cruz. God is with you, as are the American people, sickened by the brutality and inhumanity of Obama, Hillary and those like them.
Yawn!!!
Jesus loves him.Everybody else thinks he’s an asshole.
No smarta__, only the brainwashed like you.
Brutality and inhumanity are from war. You should thank Obama we’re not in another right now. You ever think to find out how many babies died from the last 2 ?
You are sick & Brainwashed !!!

Looks like the NAZI War Crimes List.
We need to bring back the Nuremberg Trials for these filthy animals.
AMEN !!!
At least they went on the record. That’s more than can be said for Lindsey Graham.
So you think admitting you advocate mutilating babies is nobel?
You better PRAY there ain’t no Hell.
True. Our spineless, gutless senior senator wouldn’t take a stand either way. Surprise,surprise, surprise.
All (D)s except for one. Kinda tells you something don’t it ??????
Contact your senators. They all have Twitter accounts!
He should get sterilized .We don’t need anymore babies with eyebrows like that
If only I had a dime for every joke fail of yours.
Cruz is doing everything right. Very smart man, when we desperately need one.
Just what I want. Morality from the son of a Cuban Communist, immigrant. His father fought for Castro in the Cuban Revolution. Heck, no to this guy. We don’t need any more immigrant presidents. We need someone with roots in this country. Someone whose parents and grandparents and preferably great-grandparents were born in this countr. No more immigrants and anchor babies.
These senators voted to keep Planned Parenthood funded with our taxpayer monies. Contact them and make your voice heard.
