Medical terms and concepts

-

Around the time of the end of the federal election tired of hearing repeats of election news, I switched to CNN. There was an interestin­g interview. An investigat­ing reporter with CNN was interviewi­ng a gentleman with an anti-abortion organizati­on against Planned Parenthood. The gentleman was quite evasive about how much the video had been edited but he was very clear about where they got the pictures. When asked if these pictures were taken at the Planned Parenthood office, he said no. They were purchased from an organizati­on in the states that sells pictures of abortions.

He had no idea when the pictures were taken or where. First of all the fact that you are saying that the pictures were taken there and were not is at the very least fraud. But if your cause were so just why would an organizati­on sell the pictures to you and not give them to them.

Planned Parenthood does sell fetus tissue. This tissue is used for all kinds of medical research. They are compensate­d for the costs of obtaining, preserving and transferri­ng the organs. Tissue from abortions and miscarriag­es has been used in medical research since the 1930s.

Terms like fetus are not made up terms by pro-choice; they are medical terms and concepts. Carol Capper, Summerside
