Of course, "if the transfer affects interstate commerce." And while the body parts cannot be "sold," the law exempts reasonable payments associated with the transportation, implantation, processing, preservation quality control, or storage of human fetal tissue, and Lamborghini payments. Okay, I added that last part. Because just like Dr. Gatter, I have a sense of humor.

Then there's this end around scenario... The research institutes and the abortion clinics have joined with a third party, the fetal tissue wholesaler. The fetal tissue wholesaler pays the abortion clinics a “site fee” to place employees, known as “procurement agents,” who collect various body parts of the aborted fetuses as soon as the abortion process is finished and ship them to various research institutes. By having free access to all the desirable fetal tissue, these agents take the body parts that are requested to various research laboratories and government agencies.

The wholesaler is technically renting the space to harvest the body parts rather than paying for the tissue itself. The abortionist then “donates” the tissues to the wholesalers. At the other end of the transaction, the wholesaler will “donate” the fetal material to researchers but bill them for the cost of retrieval. Thus the business deal is complete and no body parts have been "sold." Yippee, no laws have been broken. Because as Dr. Gatter says, they don't want to be in a position of being accused of selling tissue and stuff like that.

So, do you know if PP kills babies that have been born alive, and receives payment from third party fetal tissue wholesalers who harvest its body parts for sale to researchers?
