Planned Parenthood's Senior Director of Medical Services:
"They just want to do it in a way that is not percieved as, 'This clinic is selling tissue, this clinic is making money off of this.' "
Fetal Tissue Buyer:
"Okay, so, when you are, or the affiliate is determining what that monetary--"
Planned Parenthood's Senior Director of Medical Services:
"Yes."
Fetal Tissue Buyer:
"So that it doesn't raise any question of this is what it's about, this is the main--what price range would you--?
Planned Parenthood's Senior Director of Medical Services:
"You know, I would throw a number out, I would say it's probably anywhere from $30 to $100 [per specimen], depending on the facility and what's involved."
(It has been suggested that Planned Parenthood supposedly doesn't "sell" the baby parts, they just seek reimbursement for shipping and handling. So why don't they charge for the exact price of the shipping and handling, why does Planned Parenthood's Senior Director of medical Services just "throw a number out"?)
Fetal Tissue Buyer:
"The $30 to $100 price range, that's per specimen that we're talking about right?"
Planned Parenthood's Senior Director of Medical Services:
"Per specimen. Yes."
(Why is it per specimen, when they are supposed to be just seeking reimbursement for shipping and handling? So they can't put multiple specimens in separate bags in one container?)
Fetal Tissue Buyer:
"How much of a difference can that actually make, if you know kind of what's expected or what we need versus--"
Planned Parenthood's Senior Director of Medical Services:
"It makes a huge difference. I'd say a lot of people want liver. And for that reason, most providers will do this case under ultrasound guidance, so they'll know where they're putting the forceps."
(Why would they charge a price difference if the Dr. has to use ultrasound, if it is a free donation of baby parts and they are only just seeking reimbursement for shipping and handling?)
Planned Parenthood's Senior Director of Medical Services:
"The Federal [Partial-Birth] Abortion Ban is a law, and laws are up to interpretation. So if I say on day one, I do not intend to do this, what ultimately happens doesn't matter."
(Well there it is, the loophole for doing anything, even going around the law banning partial-birth abortions: "laws are up to interpretation" and "if I say...I do not intend to do this, what ultimately happens doesn't matter." What would the Supreme Court say when they hear that ordinary citizens can interpret laws?)
