The Center for Medical Progress has released a disturbing new video in which David Daleiden interviews abortionist/obstetrician Dr. DeShawn Taylor who used to kill humans in the womb for Planned Parenthood but started her own abattoir in Arizona in 2013. Taylor is also a member of NARAL Pro-Choice Arizona and the National Abortion Federation Society of Family Planning.

The occasion of Daleiden’s conversation with fetus-killer Taylor was the swanky George Tiller Memorial Networking Reception co-sponsored by Planned Parenthood and the Society of Family Planning. The emcee for the evening’s festivities was none other than wine-swilling, salad-munching abortionist Deborah Nucatola.

Yep, the infamous late-term abortionist George Tiller is honored by abortionists everywhere.

Starting at 20 weeks gestation, Dr. Taylor uses digoxin to stop babies’ hearts:

So the thing is…it’s really an issue because in Arizona, if the fetus comes out with any signs of life, we’re supposed to transport it to the hospital.

Taylor injects the hearts of humans in the womb with digoxin to ensure she kills it. She definitely does not want to have to transport a living “fetus” to a hospital. Since Taylor is a stickler for technical language, she is likely familiar with Planned Parenthood’s definition of “fetus”:

The organism that develops from the embryo at the end of about eight weeks of pregnancy…and receives nourishment through the placenta.

A human that has exited a woman’s body is no longer being nourished through a placenta and, therefore, is no longer a “fetus” even by Planned Parenthood’s definition. It’s finally a baby.

When asked whether there is “any standard procedure for verifying signs of life,” Taylor offered this odd response:

The key is you need to pay attention to who’s in the room….because the law states that you’re not supposed to do any maneuvers after the fact [i.e., after delivery] to cause [fetal] demise. So, it’s really tricky….So most of the time we do [digoxin], and it usually works.

Well, she didn’t answer the question but she did make clear that the tricky business of ensuring death in the womb is solved by the use of digoxin. Here’s how digoxin works:

To help ensure the baby will be delivered dead and not alive, the abortionist uses a large needle to inject digoxin or potassium chloride through the woman’s abdomen or vagina, targeting the baby’s heart, torso, or head. When the digoxin takes effect, the lethal dose causes a fatal cardiac arrest, and the baby’s life will end. (Even if the needle misses the baby, digoxin can still kill the baby when released into the amniotic sack, but will usually take longer to kill the child.)

Taylor kills fetuses up to 24 weeks gestation. At 24 weeks gestation, these tiny humans are about 11 ½ inches long and weigh about 1 ½ lbs. They have ears, eyes, eyebrows, eyelashes, fingers with unique fingerprints, toes, female or male genitalia, brains, and functioning organs including pumping hearts.

After explaining that most of the abortions she performs are elective abortions, Taylor shares this grotesque and euphemistically clinical description of her “technique” for killing small humans:

My technique is a disarticulation technique.

For those who wonder what the heck a “disarticulation technique” is, it’s the dismemberment of the tiny human. Feticidal physician Taylor goes on to explain why she uses the dismemberment technique:

It’s not a matter of how I feel about it coming out intact…but I got to worry about my staff, and people’s feelings about it coming out looking like a baby.

It’s so weird that fetuses could come out looking like babies. I mean, “progressives” keep telling everyone that the humans growing inside women are definitely not babies. I guess if their little heads are crushed—I mean, if their calvaria are “compressed,” they probably do look less like babies and less like fetuses. They probably look more like the bloody messes we see in movies about sociopathic killers.

Taylor says the conservatism of Arizona mitigates against her delivering an intact human:

Arizona is so conservative, I just don’t even want to send a full fetus to, for cremation or any of that.

Some may be beginning to think that nothing bothers the seared conscience and sensibilities of Taylor, but they would be wrong.  She complains about her “people who do the paper work for the fetal death certificates” for the humans whose heartbeats Taylor stops:

They email us calling them “babies.” “Baby” this. “Baby” that. “Baby” so-and-so. And I’m like, that’s creepy.

In the dystopian world of morally-untethered womb-killing, injecting the developing bodies of defenseless humans with digoxin to stop their hearts and “disarticulating” their bodies so as to assuage the feelings of her staff are not creepy, but referring to these tiny humans as “babies” is creepy.

Taylor’s chosen profession as a baby killer feticide specialist involves manifold inconveniences for her. Not only does Taylor have to worry about the feelings of her staff when confronted with a fetus that looks surprisingly like a baby and deal with “creepy” descriptions of tiny humans as “babies,” but she also has to exercise to perform her job:

I have to tell you anecdotally, my biceps appreciate it when the [digoxin] works. It does not take me any longer to complete the procedure [when the digoxin doesn’t work], but it takes more force….I remember when I was…training, I was like, oh, I have to hit the gym for this.

Taylor explains that even when babies are in breech positions (i.e., feet first), which is the easiest position for abortionists, those darn baby heads—or calvaria as abortionists prefer to call them—still pose a delivery problem:

Breech makes it a lot easier…but there’s still going to have to be some decompression of the calvarium for it to come out.

“Progressives” affirm a non-existent moral “right” to crush babies’ skulls, inject babies’ hearts with digoxin, and dismember babies’ bodies, and they call it “choice.” To add insult to the injury and sanitized evil done to millions and millions of babies, we subsidize this barbarism.

The second secretly-recorded Planned Parenthood video is out, and like the first, it reveals that Planned Parenthood is staffed by Josef Mengele wannabe’s.

In this mindboggling video, Dr. Mary Gatter, president of Planned Parenthood’s Medical Directors Council, negotiates compensation for preborn baby body parts:

While discussing the possibility of manipulating abortion procedures to increase the likelihood of preserving babies’ bodies intact, the cold, calculating, conscience-less abortionist Gatter makes this stunning comment:

If we want to pursue this mutually, I’ll mention this to Ian [the abortionist in the facility Gatter runs in Pasadena] in terms of how he feels about using a less crunchy technique to get more whole specimens.

“Progressives,” always eager to manipulate language to promote moral deviance, refer continually to “specimens” and “tissue” rather than body parts. They seek to equate baby hearts, lungs, livers, and limbs with tumors and cysts without  explicitly making the case for equivalence. They hope that no one notices their sickening use of euphemistic language.

When the buyers from the fake fetal-tissue procurement company inquire about the possibility of acquiring “intact specimens” from 10-12 week human fetuses, Gatter responds:

So, that’s an interesting concept. Let me explain to you a little bit of the problem, which may not be a big problem. If our usual technique is suction, at 10-12 weeks, and we switch to using an IPAS [manual vacuum aspirator] or something with less suction, or to increase the odds that it will come out as an intact specimen, then we’re kind of violating the protocol that says to the patient that “We’re not doing anything different in our care of you.” Now to me that’s a specious little argument, and I wouldn’t object to asking Ian, who’s our surgeon who does the cases, to use an IPAS [manual vacuum aspirator] at that age in order to increase the odds that he’s going to get an intact specimen.

Manipulating the abortion procedure to preserve babies’ bodies intact for the purposes of “donating” them to medical research doesn’t only “kind of” violate “protocol.”  It also violates federal law.

Even more seriously, the deliberate killing of innocent humans, whether preserving their bodily integrity or destroying  it in the process of murdering them, violates God’s command and, therefore, should violate the consciences of all humans.

Federal law allows for “reasonable payments associated with the transportation, implantation, processing, preservation, quality control, or storage of human fetal tissue. Here are Dr. Gatter’s compensation considerations:

If [other California Planned Parenthood affiliates] are getting substantially more, then we can discuss it….[The amount of money] has to be big enough that it makes it worthwhile for me….so let me just figure out what others are getting, and if this is in the ballpark, then it’s fine. If it’s still low, then we can bump it up. I want a Lamborghini [giggle].

Note that when Gatter discusses the possibility of increasing compensation from her original figures of $50-75 per “specimen,” she does not refer to transportation, processing, preservation, quality control or storage costs but to what other Planned Parenthood facilities are getting.

Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards apologized last week for abortionist Dr. Deborah Nucatola’s tone when discussing crushing preborn babies’ bodies. It appears that Richards is going to be one busy lady, apologizing for the tone-deafness of Planned Parenthood leaders. It is hoped that one day, she’ll apologize for the murders about which her employees talk in such cavalier tones. If Richards ever fully apprehends the enormity of the evil the organization she leads and defends has committed, it’s hard to imagine that she would be able to survive her guilt and grief.

Recently, liberal Chicago Tribune columnist Rex Huppke expressed his annoyance at the “pragmatic, dismissive, clinical, compassionless” response from Planned Parenthood on the first secretly-taped exposé of their disposition of preborn babies. He expressed no offense about the careful crushing of preborn babies’ bodies to maximize their utility for medical researchers. In the perverse existential universe of “progressives,” what is the source of tiny human livers, lungs, limbs, and hearts other than tiny humans?

Every time a “progressive” refers to the inappropriateness of the tone in these videos, they dig themselves a deeper ethical hole. It becomes incumbent upon them to explain why “pragmatic, clinical, compassionless” tones are inappropriate. If these “specimens” were the ontological equivalent of cysts, tumors, or liposuctioned fat, no one would argue that discussions should be somber or compassionate.

The product of conception between two humans is undeniably human. Since when does dependency-status, physical location, or absence of developmental maturity grant more developed humans the moral right to exterminate less-developed humans? And if the right to control one’s reproductive capacity directly conflicts with another person’s right simply to exist, which is a right of a higher moral order? What kind of people find tone-deaf discussions about “donating” preborn baby parts a greater moral outrage than poisoning, crushing, and dismembering preborn babies?

Huppke admits that “in parts” of the first video, abortionist Deborah Nucatola “comes off as a monster.” There’s a reason for that monstrous image. Crushing human beings—whether for convenience, profit, or medical research—is a monstrous act.

Please don’t allow yourselves to become desensitized to the evil revealed in these videos. Don’t allow your passion to wane when the press hurriedly moves on to other stories. And don’t allow yourselves to be distracted by the red herrings the Left is frantically tossing up about the ethics of secret recordings, or the legality of compensation for “donations,” or the value of “donated” baby body parts for medical research, or their pathetic apologies for tone.

Send letters to your local press. Donate to organizations committed to eradicating this evil from our midst. Contact your lawmakers, demanding that the unscrupulous Planned Parenthood Feticide Federation of America be defunded and investigated. Don’t let up. The Left never does. It’s not the rights of women that are at stake. It’s the lives of babies. There exists no moral right to kill innocent humans.
