As already pointed out several times, there was no "profit". From the Planned Parenthood tapes thread:
We also asked experts in the use of human tissue for research about the potential for profit. Sherilyn J. Sawyer, the director of Harvard University and Brigham and Women’s Hospital’s “biorepository,” told us that “there’s no way there’s a profit at ...[text shortened]... research purposes.”

You reach a place where you are lied to so often, you simply begin to tune them all out and just assume the worst.
To think that people don't find a way to make money at something like this is just plain naïve in my opinion. That is how the world works.
So if PP is not motivated by money, like you claim, then perhaps they could decline taxpayer money.

You "tune out" the facts that are incompatible with your ideological preconceptions.

How much money does a servant need in order to be a servant?

Originally posted by RJHindsIt's like the VA scandal. Things are not what they seem. There are no official documents to look at to find out what is going on, especially if it is illegal. All you can hope for is someone with enough courage to stand up and point the finger.

Interestingly, the doctor who blew the whistle at the VA pleaded for help from Senator John McCain. But as soon as he did, word got back to the VA and they fired the doctor.
Had it not been for some obscure Congressman from Florida, the scandal would probably have been swept under the rug, much like what I think had been happening for years in the VA around the country.
The sad part is, from what I hear this sort of thing continues to go on.
So as we see, like with the IRS scandal, just because they become public means nothing in terms of anyone dealing properly with it.
Just think about this, only one man has been fired from the VA after the said scandal that they admitted to. One man?
What a pathetic joke.
What about the IRS scandal? Again, one person fired?
What about the credit crisis scandal? That's right, no one was held accountable. Not even one person fired from anything.
