Hopefully, the pressure will build and force these companies and universities to stop using them: Ariosa Diagnostics, BD Biosciences, Dartmouth College, Duke University, the FDA, Genentech, Harvard Medical School, The Jackson Laboratory, Johns Hopkins University, Novartis, University of Pennsylvania, Perkin Elmer, Pfizer, Quest Diagnostics, Roche, Stanford University, UCLA, UCONN, and Yale University.

The FDA purchases from them as well.

my theory is that when you make even prochoice people think about what abortion really is, they shudder even though they defend its use. Even people at work don't like talking about the procedure itself. The concept is just disgusting and barbaric before you even start talking about PP being the advanced autoparts of the limb world. I guarantee that some of these universities are pretty liberal but even they are like, this seems like a bad thing.

This one is incredibly hard to watch. Even to just listen to. But you need to.

Okay so I haven't seen all of the recent Planned Parenthood videos but apparently the left is trying to "fact check" Carly on her statements about it. To those of you that have seen these videos, can you provide any feedback as to whether the bit about them dissecting a live fetus while it's heart was beating is true?

No. It's not on any of the videos. But it does happen. That was the point she was trying to make. She dared them to watch the videos. She dared them to watch the fetus on the table.... 2 separate challenges that fell into sub categories. She gave the most passionate pro life statement of all the other candidates combined.

There's no doubt about that. In her plea you could hear a slight tremble in her voice that I know only happens to me when I'm exceptionally passionate/serious about a topic. I' really interested to see if she has staying power.

They showed an image of a fetus on the table as the interviewee described what happened. The effect is stomach-turning.
