Several months ago I commented that our country
has sunk to its lowest moral depth yet by harvesting and selling body parts from
aborted babies. That's right. An entire industry has grown out of killing unborn
children. Not only are the baby butchers collecting millions of dollars from
this hideous practice, so are baby-parts wholesalers.
According
to Wendy Griffith at CBN News, "Wholesalers, like the Anatomic Gift
Foundation, headquartered in Laurel, Maryland, place workers or technicians
inside abortion clinics to 'harvest' fetal tissue and organs for researchers
such as universities and pharmaceutical companies. The wholesalers or middleman
pays the abortion clinic for access to the aborted babies. They call it a 'site
fee.' The researcher then pays the wholesaler for the parts, and since it's
illegal to sell baby parts, they call it a 'fee for services,' technically
skirting the law."
A
sampling of actual catalogs reveals advertised prices for various body parts,
not excluding whole cadavers. Examples:
Adding insult to injury is the fact that you and I are paying for
much of this with our tax dollars via the National Institutes of Health. The
justification used for this Nazi-like practice is "medical research." Under this guise, aborted
babies are used as guinea pigs in public university and pharmaceutical laboratories. At least one
governor is steaming mad about it, too.
Gov.
Mike Johanns sent a letter to the University of Nebraska officials asking them
to stop using baby body parts for research at the NU Medical Center. University
officials have indicated they will "discuss it." One member of the NU
Board of Regents, Chuck Hasselbrook, is quoted as saying he doesn't have a
problem with the research. Other board members agreed with Hasselbrook or
refused to answer reporters' questions, according to a story in the Omaha
World-Herald.
Some
on Capitol Hill also profess to be concerned. Yesterday, the House Commerce
Committee conducted (un-televised) hearings to investigate this pernicious
practice. (Then again, Congress has conducted copious hearings to investigate
the atrocities at Waco. That has accomplished a whole bunch, hasn't it?)
I
can think of nothing that insults and degrades the conscience and soul of
America like this does. Allowing such a practice to legally transpire (with tax
monies, no less) attacks our morals and culture in an unprecedented manner. Yet,
where is the outrage? Where is the public outcry?
A
recent caller to my talk show might have it right. He suggested the problem is
America no longer has a conscience. You can't offend a seared conscience, he
opined. Maybe he's right. Maybe we, as a nation, have lost our conscience. If
this doesn't offend us (and it obviously doesn't) nothing will.

A batch of eyes by UPS – 30 livers by FedEx
By J. C. Willke, MD
After
fighting abortion for 30 years I thought I had seen and heard it all, but not
so. Here is a new development, a coordinated high-tech industry functioning for
the specific purpose of obtaining and selling high-quality fetal organs for
research.
Partial-Birth
abortions seemed to be so horrible that most of us wondered how such procedures
could be defended. Many of us chalked it up to the fact that the pro-abortion
advocates and the abortion industry didn't want to give one inch for fear that
their whole house of cards will fold. I, among others, felt that their
resistance to forbidding this gruesome procedure was a fear of a domino effect.
If we stopped this one, then we'd stop the next and the next and the next and
they didn't want it to start. But now we have evidence of a very clear
additional reason why they want these late-term abortions to continue. The
reason is that this is the one method that gives them intact fetal bodies from
which they can obtain organs for research.
The
other method of late-term abortion, D&E (Dilatation and Evacuation),
involves reaching up into the uterus and dismembering the live baby. This
delivers pieces of macerated organs that are usually unsuitable for fetal
research, transplantation etc. This may be the main reason for their
vehement defense of the practice of Partial-Birth abortion.
The
story was broken recently by Life Dynamics under the guidance of its director,
Mark Crutcher. A lady came to him with a story, which he has verified. The name
of the informant cannot be revealed, as she is still involved in the work that
she has exposed. Her story is dramatically recorded in a video just released by
Life Dynamics. In it, this woman under the pseudonym, Kelly, tells her story.
Her back is to the camera and her voice is electronically altered to prevent her
identification. She worked for “an outside source, hired with a team to go in
[to late term abortion clinics] to dissect and procure fetal tissue for high-quality
sales.” Read on as Kelly describes her macabre profession. “What we did
was to have a contract with an abortion clinic that would allow us to go there
on certain days. We would get a generated list each day to tell us what tissue
researchers, pharmaceutical companies and universities were looking for. Then we
would examine the patient charts. We would screen out the ones we didn't want.
We
did not use specimens that had STDs [sexually transmitted diseases] or fetal
abnormalities. We only wanted the most perfect specimens that we could give to
the researchers.” And the age of these babies? The victims were up to and over
30-weeks gestation. “We were looking for eyes, livers, brains, thymuses
[lymphoid tissue], cardiac blood, cord blood, blood from the liver, even blood
from the limbs.”
Only
an estimated 2% of the late-term aborted babies had abnormalities. “The rest
were very healthy. 95% of the time, she was just there to get rid of the
baby.” How many of the late-term – the ones around 30 weeks – would you
see? “Probably 30 or 40 babies a week.”
Kelly
stated, “We would sell the tissue to private contractors. They in turn would
sell to other universities and researchers. There was a high demand every week
to buy such fetal tissues. It was shipped by UPS, FedEx, Airborne and sometimes
by special couriers. Sometimes we would take the specimen in a box to the
airport and put it on as regular cargo, to be picked up at the destination.”
And did these shipping companies know they were transporting baby parts? “No.
All they knew was that it was just human cells. But it could be a completely
intact fetus. It might be a batch of eyes, or 30 or 40 livers going out that
day, or thymuses
And
the leftover parts? “We would usually put this down the garbage disposal along
with the placenta and the leftover blood material. If it was too large to go
down the drain, they had a special freezer and when they accumulated 60 or 70
fetuses in one box, it would be picked up for incineration.”
In a development that made national news, the
online auction EBay recently featured a human kidney for sale. The bidding hit
$5.7 million by the time the company put a stop to it. Some observers said both
the offer and the bid was a prank. The commercial sale of human body parts is
illegal. Well, we’ve come upon some other human organs being put up for sale,
in real transactions that have been documented, and we’re quite certain you
haven’t heard or read anything about it. This is because these are human
organs from aborted babies
This cover-up on aborted baby parts
probably has more to do with ideology than anything else. The abortion industry
has traditionally been spared serious scrutiny because it is perceived to be
serving women’s needs. That position can be maintained only as long as the
aborted babies are considered to be non-human and without value. But they are
valuable enough to be bringing in big money. One price list offers a spinal cord
for $325. A brain goes for $999.
These materials have been brought to our
attention by a pro-life group called Life Dynamics Incorporated, based in
Denton, Texas. They have produced a video and special report documenting what
their spies have discovered in the abortion industry. After a two-year
undercover investigation, they have obtained and released copies of purchase
orders, price lists and sales brochures involving the business of harvesting and
selling of aborted baby parts.
One document, a brochure from an Illinois
company, explains why this particular “service” has grown so large in recent
years: “On January 22, 1993, President Clinton lifted the moratorium on
federal funding of research involving transplantation of fetal tissue from
induced abortions. This action created a great demand for fetal tissue and has
made possible the development of treatments for individuals afflicted with
serious diseases and disorders.”
The brochure goes on to say, “Our fee
for service is very attractive and lower than the industry average. Our
specimens vary widely in range but not limited to those listed below: liver,
spleen, pancreas. intestines, kidney, brain, lungs and heart block, spinal
column and many more with appropriate discounts that apply if specimen is
significantly fragmented.” The brochure says that “fresh fetal tissue” is
“harvested and shipped to your specifications - where and when you need it.”
Although the sale of human body parts is
supposed to be illegal, the sellers are getting around this prohibition by
having the fetal tissue “donated” to them. They pay a “site fee” to the
abortion clinics so they can place their employees in there to harvest the
material. Researchers then obtain the tissue by paying not for the cost of the
body part, but for the cost of retrieval.
There's money
in the business of body parts
By Robert Davis, USA TODAY
In a basement of the University of Maryland School of
Medicine, in an office near the morgue, Ronn Wade's phone rings with yet another
request for body parts.
The
caller, a body broker, says doctors are traveling to a hotel where they will
practice surgical techniques with new instruments. The course's sponsors need
bodies.
This
is not an unusual event. Seminars such as this take place throughout the country
to give doctors needed experience with new instruments or surgical techniques
And
this is not an unusual call. Wade, director of the Maryland Anatomy Board, has a
lot of bodies: state residents who donated their bodies, now carefully tucked
away, unembalmed, in coolers. Body brokers call him several times a week.
These
brokers are people who profit by providing bodies and body parts for medical
research, and they come in many different forms. They might be representatives
of tissue banks or companies that act as intermediaries between those who have
bodies, such as medical centers, and those who need them, such as sponsors of
surgical seminars.
Federal
law prohibits the sale of human organs and tissue for transplantation. The law
is widely considered a total ban on the sale of all body parts, although it does
not specifically address the conveyance of parts for medical education and
research.
In
any event, those who act as go-betweens, including organ recovery agencies, may
charge for their work. Some are conscientious professionals who help provide
research cadavers. But others are van-driving entrepreneurs who walk a thin line
between legitimacy and lawlessness.
A
recent scandal at the University of California-Los Angeles, in which two men,
including the director of UCLA's Willed Body Program, were arrested on charges
of selling stolen body parts for their own profit, has turned a national
spotlight on an industry that operates in the dark: the largely unregulated
acquisition and dissemination of body parts for medical and scientific research.
This is one more clue that points to America as being the LITERAL
fulfillment of the Mystery Babylon prophecies!!
By
a bit of simple study, and looking at a word in the original in several verses
we can see a quite different meaning emerge, after all words mean things.
Instead
of the last two phrases of Rev.18-13 being figurative or symbolic, we can
instead readily see a literal fulfillment without having to resort to mangling
words and depart from the original meaning of the text.
Has
modern American medicine advanced to the place that America is a marketplace
for the
organs of individuals from Red China, and other parts of Asia and other third
world countries?
There
are claims that China collects prisoners who are then killed when an organ bank
or organ broker provides a buyer with certain medical criteria that matches that
of the tissues of the prisoner
There is also an emerging new
issue and use for bodies and body parts as it relates to the issue of DNA research and cloning which is now moving into high gear.
Some of this activity is
operating under the umbrella of, or the notion of saving mankind!!!
Still the point of the matter
is that these activities underscore and further provide evidence that America is
indeed involved in marketing the bodies of men and therefore the souls (psoo-kay)
of men.
