Repulsive: OB/GYN takes to TNR with 'horrific' euphemism for trafficked fetal organs

Prepare to be sickened:

"Products of conception" do not equal "baby parts." And Planned Parenthood isn't profiting from either one. http://t.co/S4tLs4chxT

Um, what? Beg your pardon?

The anti-choice organization Center for Medical Progress—which, in 2013, claimed tax-exempt status as a biomedical charity—have recently released two “undercover” videos of Planned Parenthood officials discussing post-procedure tissue donation. The group claims the videos demonstrate that Planned Parenthood profits from fetal tissue donation (which would be illegal) and that they are “haggling” over the price of “baby parts.”

As an OB/GYN, I can tell you that neither of these claims are true.

These are not “baby parts.” Whether a woman has a miscarriage or an abortion, the tissue specimen is called “products of conception.” In utero, i.e. during pregnancy, we use the term “embryo” from fertilization to 10 weeks gestation and “fetus” from 10 weeks to birth. The term baby is medically incorrect as it doesn’t apply until birth. Calling the tissue “baby parts” is a calculated attempt to anthropomorphize an embryo or fetus. It is a false image—a 10-12 week fetus looks nothing like a term baby—and is medically incorrect. [Emphasis added by Twitchy.]

"These are not 'baby parts.' … The tissue specimen is called 'products of conception.'" That settles it, then! http://t.co/WVXhlHya9b

If abortion really wasn't a big deal, there wouldn't be a need to verbally sanitize it like this. https://t.co/iuIP5Zat8l

True story.

And an exit question for TNR and the good “doctor”:
