3% of all Planned Parenthood’s activities are abortions, and more than 90% of those are in the first trimester when it’s about size of a kidney bean, so they do see some pieces of fetal tissue. Which are just going to be thrown away in the garbage, but which the patient can instead choose to donate to important medical research.
This is more or less the exact train of thought I had when I heard about the first video being released. Moreover, the anti-choice side of the argument is going back to their roots using the 'ick factor.' I'm sure you've seen them, the protest signs with what appear to be aborted fetuses. Now they've come to the digital age with video and well-edited commentary.
They're playing on the 'ick factor,' if you get squeamish at the sight of blood or the thought of medical procedures then you're the crowd they're looking for.

You completely sidestepped what I asked, which tells me you're allowing yourself to be lead by the proverbial short & curlies emotionally. Be objective. I ask again, and expect an answer this time -- would you be equally pissy over donated natural abortions, otherwise called miscarriages? If yes, do explain that one. I'd like to know why you'd prefer something go to waste and not be used to help others.

I find it hilarious the people fighting against abortion are also the same people who have no issue with killing another human being over such things as trespassing, stealing a tv, suggestive movements or cops killing people out of what ifs..

When we give the aborted fetus market value then it becomes a commodity. A kidney-sized "it." Fodder for the privileged, such as yourself, to pretend and somehow fantasize that abortions are useful for the betterment of mankind. How noble.

"...IT'S about the size of a kidney bean." "It."
It refers to a fine line between refuse or market value.

Notice how they're dehumanizing these babies by claiming they're only the size of a kidney bean during the first trimester?

Or do want the fetal tissues, and such, named post mortem to give then an identity?

Isn't that what you want though? Instead of women donating their aborted remnants, in the various states and conditions as they may be acquired, you'd rather that they be tossed in with tonsils and kidney stones to be incinerated.

Oh for crying out loud! A human embryo isn't a person. Human fetuses aren't people. An acorn isn't an oak tree.
There is no tiny kidney sized person in a woman's womb, there is a developing human life with the potential of becoming a person.
