In an interview with the Washington Post, Carson defended his medical research on aborted babies. It was “different,” he said, as long as the destruction of unborn baby was not specifically for the purpose of acquiring their parts for research.

The movement comes after four undercover videos — two this week — showing top executives at Planned Parenthood describing gruesome abortion procedures that occur in their clinics nationwide in order to sell the organs and tissue of unborn babies.

“Let’s be clear: selling organs of aborted babies for fetal tissue research is unnecessary and prolongs human suffering,” Dr. Michelle Cretella tells Breitbart News. “Fetal tissue research, like embryonic stem cell research, has failed to produce a single successful treatment for human disease, and both have been associated with significant side-effects including overgrowth of cells and the need for immunosuppressive chemotherapy.”

Republican presidential candidates are all weighing in after the revelation from undercover video that captured a Planned Parenthood official discussing the money acquired from the sale of aborted baby body parts.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has called for an immediate investigation into any practice dealing with the harvesting of fetal organs and tissues by abortionists.

Planned Parenthood’s partner in the body-parts business “advertises 4 different times the financial benefit that Planned Parenthood clinics can receive from supplying fetal tissue.”
