WASHINGTON – Republican presidential candidates and other pro-lifers are sickened and outraged after an apparent admission that Planned Parenthood is selling body parts from aborted babies.
Calling it “grotesque and utterly disturbing,” GOP candidate Mike Huckabee told WND, “The apparent selling of aborted body parts by Planned Parenthood is just the latest disturbing news out of the abortion industry.”
He added, “This underscores my desire to defund Planned Parenthood, as I have pledged to do in my ‘Pledge to the People.‘ The sanctity of every human life, both born and unborn, is a value we must always fight for.”
An undercover video released Tuesday showed Planned Parenthood’s senior director of medical services, Dr. Deborah Nucatola, describing how her organization sells the body parts of aborted unborn children – a felony punishable by imprisonment – and admitting she uses partial-birth abortions to harvest intact body parts.
“The truth of Planned Parenthood’s grisly objectives is now confirmed,” Michele Bachmann told WND.
“Planned Parenthood’s goal has always been about making hundreds of millions of dollars a year off the troubles of young pregnant women,” said the retired congresswoman from Minnesota.

“Planned Parenthood’s goal has always been about making hundreds of millions of dollars a year off the troubles of young pregnant women,” said the retired congresswoman from Minnesota.
“Planned Parenthood makes money on birth control, on youth sex education (which doesn’t discourage underage sexual activity), on abortions (as the largest abortion provider in the United States), and now on the illegal trafficking of aborted fetal parts.
“It is time for Congress and state legislatures to wake up, take action and stop taxpayer money from going to this heartless organization responsible, literally for the deaths of millions of unborn Americans,” declared Bachmann.
Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry called the video “a disturbing reminder” of “the organization’s penchant for profiting off the tragedy of a destroyed human life.”
GOP presidential candidate and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson tweeted, “Planned Parenthood and their enablers must be stopped from these barbaric practices.”
And another GOP candidate, Carly Fiorina responded: “This latest news is tragic and outrageous. This isn’t about ‘choice.’ It’s about profiting on the death of the unborn while telling women it’s about empowerment.”
However, Democratic Party presidential candidate Hillary Clinton likely won’t be sounding off any time soon.
She and President Obama are among the top recipients of Planned Parenthood contributions, according to InfluenceExplorer.com.
When Clinton announced her candidacy, Planned Parenthood gave her a warm welcome and a ringing endorsement:
“Hillary Clinton is a strong and steadfast advocate for women’s health and rights,” Planned Parenthood Action Fund President Cecile Richards said in a statement. “In our nation’s history, there has not been a candidate for president with a stronger commitment to women or a clearer record on behalf of women’s health and rights. … Hillary Clinton’s record and commitment is in stark contrast to the GOP presidential contenders so far who have records of trying to restrict access to safe and legal abortion, affordable birth control, and women’s health care providers like Planned Parenthood.”
The Clinton campaign had not returned a WND request for comment at the time of this report.
Meanwhile, conservative blogger and author Lisa De Pasquale tweeted a new motto for Planned Parenthood:
“The parts are a greater sum than the whole.”
