The invoices (available here) show that Planned Parenthood charged $55 per "product of conception" (unit of aborted tissue) and $10 per sample of maternal blood. Three bills are shown. The first, dated Aug. 2, 2012, charged $5,860. The second bill, dated Sept. 5, 2012, charged $11,365. The third was dated Sept. 28, 2012, and charged $7,715.
Planned Parenthood could legally seek reimbursement for associated costs (such as transportation) when donating fetal tissue, but the invoices charge StemExpress per unit of fetal tissue and don't mention reimbursement anywhere.
David Daleiden says the documents are undeniable proof that Planned Parenthood is profiting from the sale of body parts harvested from aborted babies. He gave a comment to Fox News about the story Wednesday:
"The federal law against selling aborted fetal organs and tissues in exchange for 'valuable consideration' was enacted to prevent monetary incentives to turn children in the womb into a commodity. The law lays out the unmistakable difference between a researcher reimbursing a clinic for used up PPE, versus StemExpress paying solely for the number of 'usable' body parts it could collect and then sell from Planned Parenthood's abortions.
"Planned Parenthood and StemExpress's business relationship -- sadly not unique to them -- sets quotas for certain types of abortions, treats pregnant women like a cash crop, places a price tag on human beings, and declares that our nation's children are worth more dead than alive," he continued.
Planned Parenthood must be held accountable for its lack of respect for human life and for manipulating women to have their children killed so that it can harvest their body parts and make a profit.
