~~SHOCKING TRAGEDY: HEARTS
HARVESTED FROM LIVING BABIES ~

~~A San Francisco court recently held a preliminary criminal hearing of the two journalists, David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt from the Center for Medical Progress (CMP), whose investigative work led to a public exposure of Planned Parenthood. The defendants are charged with 14 felony counts of "taping confidential information without consent" because in 2015 they released undercover videos to the public of Planned Parenthood selling baby body parts for profit. The public responded to the videos with shock, calling for the defunding of Planned Parenthood and leading to congressional hearings to end their federal funding. On the final day of the hearing, Dr. Theresa Deisher, an expert in fetal stem cell research, gave a powerful testimony to the San Francisco Court. Deisher explained that in order for the baby hearts to be usable for research, the beating hearts are placed into an apparatus that keeps blood or blood substitute flowing through them. For the hearts to function in the apparatus, they must be beating and immediately put into the apparatus or "arrested in a relaxed state while it is still beating and subsequently put on the Langendorff (the apparatus)." said Deisher. In other words, the only way the hearts can be usuable is if they are dissected from a live baby while the heart is beating.

Deisher commented that it is because of the pressure of animal rights activists added to convenience that is behind the use of human baby organs rather then animal organs. "The whole process is beneath the dignity of a civilized society, to cannibalize the bodies of aborted babies, to harvest from a living baby. They're not even anesthetized. We don't even do that to mice and rats," said Deisher. Daleiden explained that Deisher's testimony shows "why I and my colleagues like Sandra Merritt and others did our undercover work with the Center for Medical Progress." The most valuable organs and tissues being sold could possibly be those harvested from aborted babies who are still alive.
The thought that perhaps Planned Parenthood is delivering live babies during abortions in order to maximize its profit is unthinkable. Deisher says, "Those kids are actually killed through vivisection and that is a human atrocity that has to be exposed." Pray this terrible practice is brought to a soon end. ~

~~David Daleiden exposed Planned Parenthood's harvesting and selling aborted babies' body parts, and it led to state and federal investigations. Then the California Attorney General prosecuted him for making the recordings without permission. Daleiden has in turn filed a lawsuit against them for conspiracy to violate his civil rights. The California A.G. admitted that they were enforcing the video recording law solely based on their opposition to what he did. The lawsuit says the state used the video-recording laws as a political weapon to silence speech they disagree with. The A.G. received campaign donations from Planned Parenthood and met with them two weeks before raiding Daleiden's home.
