The full video of the lunch meeting, over two hours long and released by the Center for Medical Progress after complaints by Planned Parenthood, shows something very different from what these critics claim. Clearly, the shorter version was edited to eliminate statements by Dr. Nucatola explaining that Planned Parenthood does not profit from tissue donation, which requires the clear consent of the patient. Planned Parenthood affiliates only accept money — between $30 and $100 per specimen, according to Dr. Nucatola — to cover costs associated with collecting and transporting the tissue. “This is not something with any revenue stream that affiliates are looking at,” she said. Under federal law, facilities may be reimbursed for costs associated with fetal tissue donation, like transportation and storage.
I suppose to many who consider abortion the removal of a parasite, 12,000 post 20-week abortions annually isn't many. Those who have doubts about abortion might consider it many.

It's not a matter of opinion. You cannot change a few into many, simply because you don't like or approve of what's being counted.
So are you saying that this is yet another "phony scandal"?
Not even you can possibly believe that. Not truthfully.
It is, indeed, a trumped up scandal, carefully orchestrated to validate the already misinformed opinions of the CMP's religious, right wing audience.
