In the last week, a Planned Parenthood representative addressed a Florida State legislature hearing on abortion, and declared that life or death of any baby which survives an abortion can be decided by the mother and/or the physician.
"So, um, it is just really hard for me to even ask you this question because I’m almost in disbelief," said Rep. Jim Boyd. "If a baby is born on a table as a result of a botched abortion, what would Planned Parenthood want to have happen to that child that is struggling for life?”
"We believe that any decision that's made should be left up to the woman, her family, and the physician," said Planned Parenthood lobbyist Snow.
Further, the Planned Parenthood representative claimed that taking the infant to a hospital for professional healthcare was problematic, due to “logistical” issues.
Previously, Planned Parenthood has been found to perform sex-selective abortions.
The Left is extending their devaluation of humans to include the categories "accidentally alive" and the "wrong sex". This is on top of the previous category of "any unborn human", which is the category used by Tiller and other induced-death abortionists, who inject toxin into the beating heart of a full term but yet unborn human, thereby requiring the abortive procedure to remove the new carcass which they create.
The total lack of compassion and empathy in Planned Parenthood is highly illuminated by declining to provide care for the living BABY due to logistical issues.
Yet the AtheoLeft continues to wonder why they are not trusted.

I think the most telling clue is that what is essentially a medical prcedure is NOT done in a hospital. Is it true that most hospitals will not perform abortions?
I submit that it is because there is a difference between preserving human life and taking it, and the line is not hard to discern.
Also, ugh. Before I read your blog, Planned Parenthood was just a bunch of nice people providing family planning. Now they are revealed for what they really are - human beings killing other human beings with the blessing of the State.
I always wondered at the crazies out there in front of PP with their picket signs. Now I am tempted to join them.
When I first read about this I was sickened, but not surprised. A little over a year ago the English newspaper the Telegraph reported on an Oxford professor who wrote in the Journal of Medical Ethics that infants do not have a 'right' to life.

One of the more repugnant quotes is:
The moral status of an infant is equivalent to that of a fetus in the sense that both lack those properties that justify the attribution of a right to life to an individual.
Rikalonius,
The link didn't come through...
That professor embodies the Leftists' arrogation of their personal moral authority to decide who has the right to live, and who can be killed without any moral qualms.
That is what makes them untrustworthy: they are dangerous, proto-totalitarians.
The link to the Oxford ethicists declaration as reported by the Telegraph is here.
It is even more amazing than I would have thought. Since deciding who can be persons, they have received death threats, to which they respond,
“This “debate” has been an example of “witch ethics” - a group of people know who the witch is and seek to burn her. It is one of the most dangerous human tendencies we have. It leads to lynching and genocide. Rather than argue and engage, there is a drive is to silence and, in the extreme, kill, based on their own moral certainty. That is not the sort of society we should live in.”
Totally without any self-contemplation, they believe that they, alone, can determine with moral certainty who can be killed, but that they themselves are beyond the same determination which is made by others. If babies are "irrelevant", at least they are not killers; who is more deserving of death, babies or killers?
Further, if the "logic" for killing a baby is because it is irrelevant and parasitic, then why not kill other irrelevant parasites, such as eugenic professors? The professors' logic is not not universal, apparently; but it is not actual logic which is being promoted.
