Ever wonder what
abortion clinics do with aborted babies? Ever wonder how the clinics make extra
money? Ever wonder why pro-abortionists insist on keeping the Partial-birth abortion procedure legal?

Fetal
Harvesting |
For the first time, hear an
informant reveal how babies (sometimes live) are harvested
from abortion clinics for resale. Courtesy of Life Dynamics. |
 |
|
| Part #1 |
An informant (in disguise), describes how she (and
others at the company she worked for) gathered fetal tissue at abortion clinics for later
resale to pharmaceutical companies. |
| Part #2 |
Describes how she’s been presented with many live
fetuses including a set of twins, gasping for air. The doctor exclaimed "Got you some
good specimens – twins!" The doctor then drowned them. Other times,
doctors would break the neck or beat the fetus to death with a pair of tongs. |
| Part #3 |
Describes how some woman undergoing "two-day"
abortions would go into labor and deliver a live baby – and the abortionist would
leave the babies without medical care to die slowly. Describes how abortionists
consistently discouraged women from trying to keep their babies (if they changed their
minds) by forcing them into having an abortion after administering more sedation. Also
tells how many abortionists make sexual advances to patients. |

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."
And then the obvious question. Kelly is still working for this company, so why did she
come and tell this story to a pro-life group? One day when she was working, "A set of
twins at 24 weeks gestation was brought to us in a pan. They were both alive. The doctor
came back and said, `Got you some good specimens, twins.' I looked at him and said,
`There's something wrong here. They are moving. I don't do this. This is not in my
contract.' I told him I would not be part of taking their lives. So he took a bottle
of sterile water and poured it in the pan until the fluid came up over their mouths and
noses, letting them drown. I left the room because I could not watch this." But
she did go back and dissect them after they were dead. She said, "That's when I
decided it was wrong. I did not want to be there when that happened." And then it
happened again and again. "At 16 weeks, all the way up to sometimes even 30 weeks,
and we had live births come back to us." And then? "Then the doctor would
either break the neck or take a pair of tongs and beat the fetus until it was dead."
Did the abortionist ever alter the procedures to get you the type of specimens you needed
that day? Her answer was "Yes, before the procedures they would want to see the list
of what we wanted to procure. The [abortionist] would get us the most complete, intact
specimens that he could. They would be delivered to us completely intact. Sometimes the
fetus appeared to be dead, but when we opened up the chest cavity, the heart was still
beating." She was asked if the type of abortion procedure was intentionally altered
to deliver to you an intact specimen, even if that meant giving you a live baby? Her
answer was, "Yes, that was so we could sell better tissue, so that our company would
make more money. At the end of the year, they would give the clinic back more money
because we got good specimens."
The Partial-Birth abortion procedure involves inserting seaweed laminaria into the cervix.
This swells up, dilating the cervix. In 24 hours, new laminaria are inserted. This
produces more swelling and dilatation so that by the third day the baby can be extracted.
During the dilatation procedure she is sent to a nearby motel. Sometimes the laminaria
would fall out and she would go into labor and deliver the baby. And then? "They
would call the nurse, and the nurse would call the doctor who would go to the motel room
and pick up the woman and the fetus. That's when they would call us and say, `Okay,
we've got a couple of specimens here,' or `We've got one specimen.' We would go [to the
clinic] and the specimen [the baby] would be in a bucket, sometimes alive. When we opened
the chest cavity the heart would still be beating. Sometimes we could see movement
in the bucket. These babies had to come out alive. There's no way for them to be coming
out dead. They were all alive. How they killed them is anyone's guess. My guess is that
they had to kill them in the bucket or put them in a corner and let them die slowly."
And that was because the abortionist had seen how strongly you reacted to seeing them
killed in front of you? "That's correct. And he did not want to repeat those
instances but they kept happening anyway, and that's how I came to call you guys [Life
Dynamics]."
Finally, Kelly related how sometimes a woman, halfway through the dilatation procedure,
would change her mind and say she did not want the abortion. In such a case they would
tell her that it's too late now. "You're going to have the abortion." Kelly
said, "All of the staff would gather around pressuring her to have the abortion. On
the second day, they're given an IV sedation, which kind of puts them into what I call a
Nyquil nap. They're just basically drowsy, not thinking for themselves and that's
basically how they are coerced into continuing the procedure."
Finally, in the interview, she notes that many of the employees of the clinics were
lesbians. When the mother was unconscious these women would discuss her genitalia with
degrading remarks and on occasion even take the phone number off of her chart. Then they
would "call her weeks down the road and ask her out for a date. It was not uncommon
for women or men at the clinic to hit on these women for dates."
Now We Know Why
Now we know one of the major reasons why the abortion industry is fighting so intensely to
prevent a ban on Partial-Birth abortion from being enacted. It's more than not giving any
ground on abortion for any reason. It's also because selling fetal parts is a very
lucrative part of the abortion business. These mothers pay large sums of money for
late-term abortions and the abortionists in turn are given big money for these intact
organs. The model specimens have to be: the bigger - the better; the older - the better;
the more alive - the better.

The Wholesalers
A full-color, glossy brochure invites abortionists to "find out how you can turn your
patient's decision into something wonderful." It's printed by Opening Lines, A
Division of Consultative and Diagnostic Pathology, Inc., a wholesale trafficker in aborted
baby parts from American clinics. Out of an office in West Frankfort, IL, the company's
director, Dr. Miles Jones, profits from an evidently tremendously lucrative trade - his
current "Fee for Services Schedule" offers eyes and ears for $75 to $999 for a
brain.
Opening Lines was founded in 1989 to "maximize the utilization of fresh fetal tissue
we process." It offer researchers "the highest quality, most affordable, and
freshest tissue prepared to your specifications and delivered in the quantities you need
when you need it."
Sale of human tissue, including fetal tissue, is against federal law, but Opening Lines
advises patients how "simple" it is to get around that. It offers to "lease
space from your facility to perform the harvesting to offset your clinic's overhead."
It also offers to train clinic staff in harvesting and then "based on volume,
reimburse part or all of your employee's salary, thereby reducing your overhead."
Dr. Jones is obviously adept at getting around inconvenient regulations. "We DO NOT
require a copy of your IRB approval or summary of your research," he advises
prospective clientele, "and you ARE NOT required to site Opening Lines as the source
of tissue when you publish your work (we believe in word of mouth advertising; if you like
our service you will tell your colleagues.")
Opening Lines is one of two wholesale traffickers, uncovered by Mark Crutcher at Life
Dynamics Inc. a pro-life in Denton Texas. The other is the Anatomic Gift Foundation (AGF).
Founded in 1994 by Jim and Brenda Bardsley, it originally operated out of a double-wide
trailer at the end of a dirt road on the Satilla River in Georgia where the couple also
ran a catfish farm. It has since moved its headquarters to Laurel, MD and now has
operations in Phoenix, AZ and Aurora, CO.
Life Dynamics' sources inside abortion clinics acquired "fee schedules" for both
organizations. Opening Lines' is the more detailed of the two, listing prices for organs
from fetuses under eight weeks gestation and over. An "intact trunk (with/without
limbs)" costs $500, for example, a liver, $150, ("30% discount if significantly
fragmented").
The prices "in effect until December 31, 1999" may seem low, observes Mr.
Crutcher, but add up all the parts and single aborted baby is worth thousands. "Our
daily average case volume exceeds 1500 and we serve clinics across the United
States," says Opening Lines' brochure.
Mr. Crutcher says that Dr. Jones is an aggressive salesman, eager to offer him reduced
rates for bulk orders. He also said in a recent taped interview that he is actively
pursuing fetal tissue sources in Mexico and in Canada.
