As evidence, she pointed to the website of a company called StemExpress, which “does business with Planned Parenthood affiliates,” where “you will see pricing for a fetal liver, in some cases, at over $24,000 for a single item”:

Liar. First, the price is $2400, not $24,000, but more importantly, as I posted previously, that is for isolated cells with a particular set of markers. Isolating those cells involves instruments that cost upwards of $250,000, run by highly trained experts whose expertise routinely brings >$150,000 annual salary. Dispersing solid tissue, FACS sorting, culturing of sorted cells, cryopreservation - these are highly specialized tasks that take expensive instrumentation and highly skilled staff.
