Planned Parenthood's Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Week

It has been a "Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad" week for the abortion behemoth Planned Parenthood. And any week that is a bad for Planned Parenthood is a very good week. So this past week was very good indeed:

Sin Painted with Virtue's Colors

Like so many others across the nation, I was shocked this week by the brazen callousness of Deborah Nucatola and Cicile Richards as they discussed Planned Parenthood’s body-parts trafficking business.

Even so, I was not surprised.

Both the grisly business of the abortion monolith and it’s blithe nonchalance in the face of the gruesome reality of its horrific work have been Planned Parenthood’s stock-in-trade since the time of its notorious founder, Margaret Sanger.

What is perhaps most troubling to me is the way the national news media and liberal politicians first tried to avert their gaze from the story, and then when it became increasingly embarrassing to do so, for the most part resorted to repeating Planned Parenthood’s obfuscated talking points. Many, even tried to spin the story, making the purveyors of death by turns the victims of fraud and champions of integrity.

The whole episode reminds me of the great Puritan, Thomas Brooks, when he quipped, "The more sin is painted under the color of virtue, the more dangerous it is to the souls of men.” And again, "Sin is never a whit less filthy, vile, and abominable by its being colored and painted with virtue's colors.”

Nothing New Under the Sun

Sadly, I have been documenting the horrors of Planned Parenthood's gruesome death-dealing for many decades now. My prayer is that the most recent revelations of the brazen abortion monolith may finally awaken our nation to the calamity of child-killing.

Modern Frankenstein: Planned Parenthood's Ghoulish Business

It seems Planned Parenthood's grisly business includes the sale of body parts from their child-killing procedures. A newly released undercover video reveals the abortion monolith's Senior Director of Medical Services, Dr. Deborah Nucatola, describing how Planned Parenthood preserves intact body parts from partial-birth abortions to supply hearts, lungs, livers, and other organs to brokers in the "human biologics" trade.

As the head of Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s Medical Services department, Nucatola has overseen medical practice at all Planned Parenthood locations since 2009. In addition, she trains new Planned Parenthood abortion doctors and performs abortions herself at Planned Parenthood Los Angeles.

Despite the fact that the sale or purchase of human fetal tissue a federal felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $500,000 (42 U.S.C. 289g-2), Nucatola candidly admits that Planned Parenthood has set up a national Litigation and Law Department to protect any liability they might have in this gruesome business.

All this makes the brazen support of Planned Parenthood's ghoulish minions from the president of the United States and his presumptive heir all the more troubling.

Lord, have mercy. Church, have courage!
