The newspaper’s July 27 editorial, “Anti-abortion activists trump up fetal ‘scandal’,” hit an all-time low in its defense of Planned Parenthood and its grisly practice of selling fetal baby parts.

Apparently nothing is seen as outrageous and scandalous today, as long as those actions are dressed up in medical terms. This defense is the modus operandi of those seeking to do damage control by saying, “Nothing to see here folks — just move along,” so this latest anti-life horror is veiled and protected from public opinion.

Therefore, in the name of “medical research,” does the newspaper really want us to turn a blind eye to such atrocities — much like happened in Nazi Germany?

The sale of baby parts by Planned Parenthood is not a “manufactured controversy.” Everything in the video is real. The newspaper claims that the video was “heavily edited,” but the entire version is online to get the full impact of baby parts for sale.

Pro-lifers don’t need a hidden agenda to advance the cause for life. All we need is for the truth to be made known, without pro-abortion entities making excuses for Planned Parenthood.

The editorial tried to whitewash the dark side of Planned Parenthood, which has been the primary beneficiary of the abortion industry for more than 40 years. It’s time to stop the cover-up — and to stop the hemorrhaging of our tax dollars to this death-dealing organization.
