Fifth Planned Parenthood undercover video released by anti-abortion group

The anti-abortion activist group Center for Medical Progress have released a fifth undercover video of Planned Parenthood employees discussing fetal tissue donation.

The videos purport to show employees of the women’s healthcare organization illegally trafficking in fetal tissue, though, like previous videos, there is no apparent evidence of such activity.

Fetal tissue donated by women who receive abortions is used in complex medical research, including on diseases such as Parkinson’s. Often, those tissues are processed by companies such as StemExpress Inc, which then provides the materials to research labs.

In a video released Tuesday, Center for Medical Progress describes a Houston, Texas affiliate, Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast, as a “mega-clinic” before cutting to activists’ meetings with its director of research, Melissa Farrell. Activists posed as representatives of Biomax Procurement Services LLC, which appears to be a shell company, to gain access to the facility.

"A lie can circle the earth 2 times, before the truth ever gets started" (not sure if that is an exact quote) .... people need to know that they and their families have benefited from fetal tissue research, whether or not they are opposed to abortions. IT is medical research, SCIENCE ... but, so, they don't believe in science??? ...... so the next time they and they children want the best, life saving science research, for whatever related disease that they might have, they should be informed that the science was based on fetal research ... see how many would deny their loved one that treatment !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
