Medical Monsters vs. Life-Giving Angels by Michelle Malkin


Another week, another money-grubbing Planned Parenthood baby-parts harvester exposed.

In the second devastating installment of a three-year journalism investigation, the Center for Medical Progress on Monday released undercover video of another top abortion industry doctor haggling over the sale of "intact" unborn baby parts.

Last week, the Center for Medical Progress introduced us to wine-swilling Dr. Deborah Nucatola — a veritable Hannibal-ina Lecter who gushed about the growing demand for aborted baby hearts and livers as she jibed and imbibed.

This week's clip features stone-faced, bespectacled Dr. Mary Gatter — an Ice Queen who chillingly negotiated $100-per-specimen price tags for organs she promised would be high quality as a result of "less crunchy" methods of dismembering innocent human life. Gatter, the medical director of the abortion empire's Pasadena and San Gabriel offices in California, dryly joked that she wanted a "Lamborghini" for her troubles — after a prolonged session spouting obligatory talking points disclaiming a profit motive.

Cecile Richards, president of Planned Butcherhood, issued a feckless apology last week for the "tone" of Nucatola's grisly business-lunch banter.

What will her excuse be for Gatter? Did the tone elves forget to fill her stocking, too?

The fundamental problem with these licensed medical providers, who greedily have turned the "primum non nocere" creed on its head under the guise of "reproductive services," is not their defective tenor. It's their defective souls.

With more barbaric video of the Planned Butcherhood racket undoubtedly yet to come, it is worth pausing from this avalanche of evil to remind the nation that there are thousands of miracle workers in the health care industry who value life and honor their professional oath to first do no harm.

I know this firsthand as the proud daughter of a neonatologist who dedicated his life to using his medical training to save lives, not destroy them. Nowhere is the sanctity of life more vividly illustrated than in a NICU. A father in Texas wrote me with his own personal story and wanted me to share his message:

"I read your piece (last week) regarding the monstrous doctor from Planned Parenthood. Though I have tried, I really cannot grasp the horror of the PP abattoirs or the blackness of the souls that labor within.

"I want to tell you about my family's encounter with another place that is the antithesis of the Planned Parenthood slaughterhouse.

[VIDEO] Planned Parenthood Discusses ‘Violating’ Patient Consent In Order To Sell Aborted Fetuses

In a second undercover video released on Tuesday by the Center for Medical Progress, a top Planned Parenthood official appears to entertain the idea of “violating the protocol” which prohibits abortion doctors from altering their methods in order to obtain fetal tissue and organs donated by patients.
In the video, which is part of a three-year investigation called “Human Capital,” undercover actors posing as officials with a biotech company filmed negotiate payment for intact tissue and organs from aborted fetuses with Mary Gatter, the president of Planned Parenthood’s Medical Directors’ Council.
In the video, which was filmed in February, Gatter says that she is willing to talk to the surgeon who performs abortions to see if he’s willing to use different methods in order to keep tissue and organs intact.
Doing so would appear to violate both federal law and a consent form signed by patients.
The video follows one that the anti-abortion Center for Medical Progress released last week. That one shows another Planned Parenthood official, Deborah Nucatola, discussing selling fetal parts for research purposes. While Planned Parenthood officials have apologized for the “tone” Nucatola used in that video, the organization has claimed that the Center for Medical Progress filmed her illegally.
In the video released Tuesday, the undercover actors ask Gatter “what sort of compensation” she would seek for intact tissue.
Gatter, who previously the medical director of Planned Parenthood’s Los Angeles chapter, responds, “well why don’t you start by telling what you are used to paying?”
“What would make you happy? What would work for you?” the actor asks.
“Well, you know in negotiations the person who throws out a figure first is at a loss, right?” Gatter responds.
“I just don’t want to lowball, because I’m used to low things from …” Gatter begins, before the actor coaxes her to give a specific dollar amount.
“$75 a specimen,” Gatter says.
