Month: July 2015

On July 14th, the Center for Medical Progress released an undercover video showing Planned Parenthood’s top abortionist casually discussing the dismembering, harvesting, and selling of baby body parts. It was sickening. It was horrifying. In it, Dr. Deborah Nucatola, Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s Senior Director of Medical Services, candidly discusses crushing preborn babies to harvest and sell their body parts.

The abortion giant claims they care about women but they don’t – just look at their actions. Just Planned Parenthood alone gets over $500 million a year in our taxpayer money and makes more than $100 million in profit, all while having abortion quotas. The organization has been caught covering up statutory rape, double-billing taxpayers, aiding and abetting sex traffickers, scheduling sex-selective abortions and accepting money to abort African-American children.

Women have been betrayed by Planned Parenthood and all other abortion facilities. Families have been deceived. And the smallest among us have been the ultimate victims of the abortion industry’s horrific business schemes. Quite frankly, we’ve had enough. It’s time to relieve Planned Parenthood and all abortionists of our taxpayer dollars.

Students for Life of America, LifeNews.com, Operation Rescue, Pro-Life Future, and Women Speak for Themselves are inviting all pro-lifers across the nation to unite on Tuesday, July 28th as we protest pre-born child killing and call on state and federal officials to investigate and defund Planned Parenthood and all abortion facilities now!

Albuquerque, NM- Today The Center for Medical Progress released another video that shatters the myth that Planned Parenthood is not in the business of selling aborted baby parts for profit.

In the wake of the first video released last week, Protest ABQ immediately began to call on Governor Martinez and the NM Attorney General Hector Balderas to investigate NM abortion facilities.

New Mexico Lt. Gov John Sanchez

NM is home to Southwestern Women’s Options late term abortion facility whose own medical consent form states that parts and tissue obtained during abortion procedures will be used in medical research. This is illegal in NM, aborted baby parts cannot be sold or donated legally in the state.

SWO Consent Form-prolifewitness by Bud Shaver

We held a protest on Friday, July 17th with over 100 families in front of Planned Parenthood calling for a statewide investigation of NM abortion facilities and are demanding answers about what local Planned Parenthood, UNM and SWO abortion facilities are actually doing with aborted baby parts.

Thank you for your phone calls, emails and prayers this past week.

Today Lt. Governor of NM John Sanchez posted a denouncement of Planned Parenthood’s illegal practices and requested a federal investigation of their killing business. See his post below.

“The power of the people comes when we let our voices be heard, your voice, your phone calls and emails have no doubt reached the ears of the NM state capital this week. While we are thankful that Lt. Governor Sanchez is requesting an investigation of Planned Parenthood at the federal level, we need a statewide investigation of New Mexico’s out of control and unregulated abortion facilities immediately,” stated Bud Shaver, Executive Director of Protest ABQ.

Please join us in thanking Lt Governor John Sanchez for speaking out on the inhumane practice of selling aborted baby parts. But it would be very naive to think that these incidents are only isolated to Planned Parenthood. Please, also ask him to urge a statewide investigation of NM abortion facilities in light of the SWO consent form and the Jonathan Spradling Revised Uniform Anatomical Gift Act Section 24-6B-2 that prohibits the selling and or donation of aborted baby in NM.

Lt Governor John Sanchez
Phone: (505) 476-2250
Email Web Form: http://www.ltgov.state.nm.us/Contact_the_Lieutenant_Governor_1.aspx

Please continue to call both the AG and the Governor with the following points:

-NM is home to the largest late term abortion facility in the nation where babies are killed up to the day of birth.

-NM law prohibits the selling of body parts and aborted baby body parts are explicitly excluded from donation to medical research.

-This facility’s own consent form mandates that women agree to the use of their babies bodies to be used for medical research.

-At least 5 other states have launched investigations to ensure that this practice of harvesting and selling aborted baby body parts are not occurring in their jurisdiction.

-The Attorney General has a duty to uphold the laws of New Mexico and the United States, this issue is in his jurisdiction.

Albuquerque, NM- As news of Planned Parenthood’s illegal and inhumane practice of selling aborted baby organs, tissue and extremities has gone viral, here in the late term abortion capital of the nation we are calling for an investigation to make sure this isn’t happening here. It is a federal crime to sell body parts, even those taken from an aborted baby.

This ground breaking research about Planned Parenthood’s involvement in illegally selling baby body parts has given the pro-life community in New Mexico new concerns about what is likely happening inside the largest late term abortion clinic outside of communist China, Southwestern Women’s Options.

Members of Protest ABQ have Southwestern Women’s Options informed consent paperwork that every abortion patient must sign indicating that “tissue and parts will be removed during the procedure, and I consent to their examination and their use in medical research and their disposal by the clinic and/or physician in the manner they deem appropriate.” This agreement is mandatory, it’s not optional.

SWO Consent Form-prolifewitness by Bud Shaver

New Mexico has it’s own law on the matter that prohibits the selling of body parts.The Jonathan Spradling Revised Uniform Anatomical Gift Act Section 24-6B-2 excludes aborted babies as decedents (section D.) who are capable of making an anatomical gift who can donate their organs and tissues for “transplantation, therapy, research or education.”

The fact that Southwestern Women’s Options has a stipulation on their consent form stating that aborted baby parts may be used in medical research proves that SWO is in violation of New Mexico law. This stipulation should not be on their consent form, but reiterates the fact that abortionists believe that they can operate above both local and federal laws.

Our Response

“The selling of baby body parts after an abortion is worthy of protest and the pro-life community stood strong together on Friday, July 17, 2015 outside of Planned Parenthood to peacefully protest this horrific and inhumane practice,” stated Bud Shaver, Executive Director of Protest ABQ.

Over 100 people protested the fact that ‪#‎PPSellsBabyParts‬!

The pro-life community demands answers about whether or not pre-born children are being born alive to harvest organs in the latest stages of pregnancy in Albuquerque. “Specimens” must be digoxin free in order to be sold, digoxin is the drug that is used to cause a fetal heart attack in 2nd and 3rd trimester abortions. Either these babies are being partially birthed (partial birth abortions are illegal) and then killed or they are being born alive and then killed after which their organs, tissue and extremities are being harvested and sold for profit.

Protest ABQ is calling for an investigation by the NM Attorney General’s office and are urging Governor Susana Martinez to encourage such an investigation. It is the duty of Attorney General Hector Balderas to uphold the laws of New Mexico as well as those of the United States of America.

Please continue to call both the AG and the Governor with the following points:

-NM is home to the largest late term abortion facility in the nation where babies are killed up to the day of birth.

-NM law prohibits the selling of body parts and aborted baby body parts are explicitly excluded from donation to medical research.

-This facility’s own consent form mandates that women agree to the use of their babies bodies to be used for medical research.

-At least 5 other states have launched investigations to ensure that this practice of harvesting and selling aborted baby body parts are not occurring in their jurisdiction.

-The Attorney General has a duty to uphold the laws of New Mexico and the United States, this issue is in his jurisdiction.

By Tara Shaver,

Albuquerque, NM- Planned Parenthood has been caught red handed yet again breaking the law, this time, by selling body parts of their victims, innocent pre-born children. On July 14, 2015 The Center for Medical Progress released a groundbreaking undercover video exposing the illegal trafficking of human body parts.

This investigation has further solidified the concern that Americans currently have with the killing business of the nations largest abortion provider, Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood received $540.6 million in government grants in 2013, from hard working Americans’ tax dollars. Apparently half a BILLION dollars annually from tax-payers isn’t enough so they have resorted to harvesting every last penny from their victims as possible, regardless if their actions are in violation of federal law.  The sale or purchase of human fetal tissue is a federal felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $500,000 (42 U.S.C. 289g-2).

Instead of being highly scrutinized Planned Parenthood often receives free passes at the federal level, this report has been the catalyst for several Governors to call for state investigations of Planned Parenthood’s killing business. Protest ABQ has reason to believe that the selling of baby body parts is occurring here in the land of Enchantment.

In a document provided to us from a woman who suffered complications after an abortion at Southwestern Women’s Options in Albuquerque, women who obtain late-term abortions are forced to agree to the following terms: “I understand that tissue and parts will be removed during the procedure, and I consent to their examination and their use in medical research and their disposal by the clinic and/or physician in the manner they deem appropriate.”

SWO Consent Form-prolifewitness by Bud Shaver

Every woman obtaining an abortion at this facility must agree to this stipulation since there is not an option to decline. Is Southwestern Women’s Options selling baby parts for an extra profit? In a state where abortion facilities are completely unregulated Protest ABQ is leading the call to demand an answer from our elected officials.

Another Albuquerque abortion facility that is a cause for concern is the University of New Mexico Center for Reproductive Health (UNMCRH). The University of New Mexico itself has a biomedical research arm using both “from cell- and animal-based laboratory studies.”

Volunteers outside of the UNMCRH have routinely witnessed University of New Mexico employees from the Health Sciences Center department come to the abortion facility and leave with suspicious materials. These pickups would occur on different days than when Stericycle would come to pick up the aborted babies for disposal.

For years members of Protest ABQ have been sounding the alarm about New Mexico’s abortion cartel that runs free of any kind of oversight. The medical board ignores complaints against abortionists and facilities are never inspected by the Department of Health. It would be naive to assume that this new information about Planned Parenthood selling baby body parts for profit is isolated to just them. This is simply an indication of how the abortion cartel at large is operating. Abortion facilities all across the nation are on the look out for ways to  line their pockets with money and in the late term abortion capital of the nation this requires further investigation.

Fr. Stephen Imbarrato issued the following statement: 

The laws of our states and country should not be “open to interpretation” by Planned Parenthood and left to the abortion industry to justify illegal activities. More information about the Protest and Press Conference to come.”

Call Governor Martinez and Attorney General Hector Balderas and ask for an investigation into New Mexico’s abortion facilities.
