the videos are incriminating. denying it is the wrong approach. but, the issue is not the legality or morality of abortion or the legality or morality of tissue donation - these ought to be beyond question, and you shouldn't be buying into that narrative. rather, the issue is that a big, corrupt corporation is acting like a big, corrupt corporation. this is an argument to get profit-generating market mechanisms out of health care; the left should actually be taking advantage of it to push for serious health care reform.
if the right gets their way on this, it's going to amount to a privatization, and that's going to open up a market for body parts. their proposed solution is going to create what they claim they're arguing against. now, history suggests there might be something to the idea that this is what they might actually be angling for, but it's a conspiracy theory, and it's sort of inconsequential whether it's actually true - no matter how strongly you support abortion rights or medical research, there are obviously extreme ethical problems attached to the creation of a market in human organs. and, that's the greater issue that needs to be grappled with: that defunding this group is going to exacerbate this problem. as mentioned, the only logical way to approach this is as a catalyst to set off serious health care reform.
i mean, i know you just went through that, but it wasn't serious health care reform, it was just a handout to the insurance companies.
