Carson had previously told CNN that organs and tissue from aborted fetuses aren’t needed for medical research. As soon as the Planned Parenthood baby parts sale was revealed, Democrat leaders such as Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth Warren, Nancy Pelosi, Debbie Wasserman and Harry Reid and most Democrats throughout the country jumped in to support Planned Parenthood funding by taxpayers.

“[They say] they care no matter what, [that] they’re truly there for women – and you can see [from this video] that this is nothing but a business”, says Hawkins.
Do they really know what they’re doing? Critics of those videos say they are misleading and the committee is purely political.
Planned Parenthood and its supporters are pushing back against renewed criticism following the release of videos showing how clinics harvest aborted fetuses and provide them to researchers for a fee. “Physicians are required to sign a document saying that “[n]o substantive adjustment in the timing of terminating the pregnancy or of the method used was made for the goal of obtaining the tissue”.
“It’s not an option, it’s a demand”, StemExpress supervisors told O’Donnell, who was uncomfortable about approaching pregnant women at Planned Parenthood for fetal tissue “donations”.
Holly O’Donnel, a former procurement technician, said she refused to get consent forms from mothers who were sick from the process, or push unsure pregnant women into getting abortions just “for money”. Gunter asked in her blog post.
O’Donnell added that Planned Parenthood had a sophisticated system for securing fetal body parts, often giving StemExpress advance notice of busy abortion days, and in some cases notifying it when women were there for simple pregnancy tests.
“No, that doesn’t happen all the time”, O’Donnell claimed.
In 1992, Ben Carson co-authored a study that used donated fetal tissue from abortions as late as 17 weeks.
“I said, ‘What did you say to get that blood?'” O’Donnell recalled.
The Center for Medical Progress (CMP), an anti-abortion activist group, has been undercover conducting first-person interviews that shed a dark light on Planned Parenthood practices.
Donald Trump, who last week wanted to defund Planned Parenthood, now isn’t so sure.

“If you’re killing babies and taking the tissue, that’s a very different thing than taking a dead specimen and keeping a record of it”, Dr. Carson told The Washington Post.
