Reading some of the recent submissions on abortion baby part sales (https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/2714181) prompted me to look into who runs the show:
Someone who can do this without guilt is someone who doesn't identify with these children.
George Soros, a Hungarian Jew, funds Abortion Care Network (see following story)
Jewish law does not share the belief common among abortion opponents that life begins at conception, nor does it legally consider the fetus to be a full person deserving of protections equal those accorded to human beings. In Jewish law, a fetus attains the status of a full person only at birth. Sources in the Talmud indicate that prior to 40 days of gestation, the fetus has an even more limited legal status, with one Talmudic authority (Yevamot 69b) asserting that prior to 40 days the fetus is “mere water.” Elsewhere, the Talmud indicates that the ancient rabbis regarded a fetus as part of its mother throughout the pregnancy, dependent fully on her for its life — a view that echoes the position that women should be free to make decisions concerning their own bodies.

The idea that a fetus is "mere water" seems to flourish in Texas:
U.S. District Judge David Alan Ezra struck down a Texas law on Wednesday that would have required hospitals and clinics to bury cremated fetal remains, causing another courtroom setback for state leaders and anti-abortion groups.
Amy Hagstrom Miller, founder and president of Whole Woman's Health and Whole Woman's Health Alliance, said in a news release that the ruling is "a victory for all Texan women."

Andrea Ferrigno is on the board of the Abortion Care Network. She is also involved with Whole Woman’s Health in San Antonio, TX.
Abortion Care Network is funded by Open Society Foundation's Communities Against Hate initiative.
Abortion Care Network was awarded a grant for $70,000 over six months to "create a [national] network of social workers uniquely positioned to provide support to abortion providers."[1]

Abortion Care Network was formed in 2008 when National Coalition of Abortion Providers merged with them: NCAP according to guidestar did 80% of the nation's abortions

To recap: George Soros invests in Abortion Care Network which does approx. 80% of the nation's abortions.
Products of the aborted babies are big business.
The belief that the mother's rights trump the preterm baby's rights is inherent in Jewish law
(if two men fight and a pregnant woman is involved and injured and loses the baby, it's called property damage. If a pregnant mother is to be executed, the execution goes forward provided she hasn't gone into labor)
and now it's looks like it's embedded in US law
Aborted babies continue to be treated as "medical waste" without the necessity of burial and behind doors, are sold for Soros bucks.

I am afraid I am in agreement with Judge Ezra's ruling inasmuch as the State should not compel the manner by which the remains of the fetus is handled. Instead I think the State ought to protect a womans right to make that decision. And further her right to.decide at or before the procedure should be spelled out in a consent form whereby she can opt for some kind of dignified disposal versus allowing the remains to be sold for medical.purposes.
And then an aggressive public awareness campaign should be launched by abortion opponents (and proponents like me) to.educate the public as to just what medical use actually takes place. Do you want fetal cells to help repair retinas or do you want them to add flavor to popsicles? I dont know if this would result in less abortions but it might help to restrict the sale of baby parts. I would hope that the disgusting sale of baby parts would help support a movement to restrict abortions to first trimester which may or may not withstand a constitutional challenge. Could public financial support for 1st trimester abortion clinics be upheld so as to encourage quick decisions and dignified disposal? Would abortion opponents accept this in exchange for a ban on automatic assault weapons, for instance? Can the citizenry enter into a social contract that the judicial system would uphold?
Americans are divided on these issues pretty much 50/50 to a degree that the minority views deserve protection and accommodation. But first comes education and awareness.

1st, in an open and free society, the decision to terminate the birth of another human should remain with the parents and the government should have no part in the decision then made by those parents. The tax paying public should never be forced by law to fund an issue contrary to their conscience. Body parts harvesting "is" happening and not just to fetuses. I personally became involved in the case of Barbara Steele a very young mother of an 18 month old little boy. The boy died after being admitted to Children's Hospital in San Diego where the mother agreed to allow his body parts to be harvested should he "expire." Even before the autopsy the surgeons had removed all body parts of value. The mother was charged with 1st degree murder when it was obvious to the medical doctors and the police that the boy died from an accidental fall and no evidence of "shaking syndrome"as a cause of death existed, which is what the mother was charged with and incarcerated. Mom was ultimately released after 5 months in jail and pleading to negligence. There are a lot of details that make this case an extraordinary miscarriage of justice and the dangers to everyone when body parts are made available for sale.
