More than 80% of Planned Parenthood abortions are of Black or Hispanic babies.

"In the wake of the Center for Medical Progress' release of videos showing Planned Parenthood's sale of human baby organs for profit, there has been an outcry that those who protest such organ sales are 'attacking women' or 'blocking women's health.' What outrageous statements," says Elizabeth Lee Vliet, past director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, Tucson, Ariz., and author of several books, including Screaming To Be Heard: Hormonal Connections Women Suspect and Doctors Still Ignore.

"As a physician specialist in women's health for more than 25 years, I say categorically that abortion is not 'health care.' Medicine and physicians strive to preserve life. Abortion is death. Abortion is the antithesis of life. That is why most physicians do not practice abortion and cringe at the thought.

"In my clinical practice seeing women, I find two victims of abortion: the soul and life of the baby who never had a choice, and the soul and psyche of the woman who chose to have her baby killed. Years later, the abortion takes its toll on women in higher rates of depression, anxiety, and even endocrine hormonal problems."

Moreover, Vliet adds: "Let's be correct in terms: abortion ends the life of a baby. In fact, if it isn't a baby, then the woman isn't pregnant."

Vliet charges that Planned Parenthood's use of benign terms such as fetus, tissue, specimen, or "glob of cells" is designed to confuse patients and the public, and to hide the emotional impact of the reality: a human baby's life is ending--"and now we see that PP is using body parts from this 'blob of tissue' to bring in revenue, beyond its $500,000,000 in Federal funding from taxpayers."

Vliet continues: "Planned Parenthood abortion practices are even more horrific than anyone knew. Doctors and their assistants actually use ultrasound, normally a life-saving diagnostic tool, as an instrument of death to crush the baby in such a way to retrieve undamaged organs. Doctors who did this in a normal hospital setting would likely lose their license or...
