The grisly revelations about Planned Parenthood that have come to light in the videos released by the Center for Medical Progress document a national criminal enterprise backed by $500 million federal dollars each year. The United States Senate’s failure to cut off federal funds in the face of such grotesque moral depravity boggles the mind and proves yet again just how dysfunctional Congress has become. The Obama Administration and Hillary Clinton’s defense of Planned Parenthood in the face of the revelations sharply reminds us that neither is possessed of even a modicum of decency and respect for human life. Of all windows into the character of one’s soul, there are few examples more painfully illustrative than when a person cavalierly dismisses respect for human life, particularly the lives of infants.

The Center for Medical Progress interviews reveal that Planned Parenthood Federation of America collaborates with obstetricians to alter their abortion procedures in order to harvest specific fetal tissue and organs and intact fetuses for profitable sale. The process, partial birth abortion, is horrific with healthy fetuses having their skulls crushed and their saleable body parts extracted so as to maximize the utility of the parts in medical procedures. In short, Planned Parenthood is in the business of selling dissected infants.

The grotesque inhumanity attendant to such trafficking is all too reminiscent of Nazi abuses at Buchenwald. Upon liberating that concentration camp Eisenhower learned of a macabre practice performed by the SS. After executing Jews, Nazis rendered Jewish body parts saleable items. In this way, Planned Parenthood’s President Cecile Richards is like the infamous Nazi SS agent Ilse Koch, who collected human tattoos and was said to be responsible for causing the skin of concentration camp victims to be made into household goods, like lampshades. Unlike Koch, who was sentenced by the allies to life in prison, Richards remains free despite the atrocities performed under her watch.

Trafficking in infant body parts is an evil enterprise and should be viewed as such even by those who proclaim themselves pro-choice. The dissection of infants mocks the precious souls lost, is profoundly evil, indeed so morally depraved and so criminal as to merit the harshest punishment a just society can impose.

Federal law prohibits the practices recorded in the Center for Medical Progress’s videos. It is unlawful for a person to “acquire, receive or otherwise transfer human fetal tissue for valuable consideration.” 42 U.S.C. 289g-2(a). Physicians are prohibited from “alteration of the timing, method, or procedures used to terminate the pregnancy… for the [sole] purpose of obtaining the tissue.” See 289g-1(b)(2)(A)(iii). The individual receiving the fetus may not play any part in decisions relating to the “timing, method, or procedures used to terminate the pregnancy.” See 289g-1(c)(4).

For the sake of the infants abused by Planned Parenthood, the Department of Justice should investigate promptly and thoroughly and charge all responsible. There should be no leniency for those proven guilty of these offenses. There can be no punishment too harsh for them. Justice demands that they account for the actions taken. That is the least we can do out of respect for the innocent victims desecrated and denied a solemn resting place.

Despite the horror and outrage, the Obama Administration not only refuses to commence criminal investigations, it rises in defense of Planned Parenthood, thereby condoning the horrors. No person possessed of basic human decency and respect for life would act as this Administration, or as Hillary Clinton, has in light of the evidence.

It is equally appalling that the Senate of the United States voted against stripping Planned Parenthood of federal funding. The macabre practices at issue are thus financed by taxpayers in the amount of over $500 million annually. Although the Senate refused to perform this essential duty for humanity, public outrage is justly extreme, so there will no doubt be additional congressional efforts to end Planned Parenthood’s gravy train from the federal government. Alongside that effort, however, all Americans should demand that the Justice Department perform its duty of upholding the law by investigating the trafficking practices at issue and prosecuting those responsible for the criminal law violations.
