Planned Parenthood sells body parts, and the objection is based on what?

The headline reads "Planned Parenthood ADMITS to Selling Baby Body Parts" and contains at least one fallacy.
What must one presume (other than the fact/truth of the matter) for the headline to make a case against Planned Parenthood (as Freedom Wire clearly intended to do)?

I hope to present my analysis in a future response, but await the contributors' analyses first.

Uncomfortable Ideas: Facts don't care about feelings. Science isn't concerned about sensibilities. And reality couldn't care less about rage.

This is a book about uncomfortable ideas—the reasons we avoid them, the reasons we shouldn’t, and discussion of dozens of examples that might infuriate you, offend you, or at least make you uncomfortable.

Many of our ideas about the world are based more on feelings than facts, sensibilities than science, and rage than reality. We gravitate toward ideas that make us feel comfortable in areas such as religion, politics, philosophy, social justice, love and sex, humanity, and morality. We avoid ideas that make us feel uncomfortable. This avoidance is a largely unconscious process that affects our judgment and gets in the way of our ability to reach rational and reasonable conclusions. By understanding how our mind works in this area, we can start embracing uncomfortable ideas and be better informed, be more understanding of others, and make better decisions in all areas of life.

I don't see a fallacy per se, but only a difference in values. Some people find the selling of fetal tissue to be immoral.
There is the use of loaded words: "body parts" sounds awful; "fetal tissue" would sound more clinical. But that's not a logical error, only a rhetorical choice.
You might read Language in Thought and Action to learn more about loaded words.

Looks like an Appeal to Popularity fallacy to me.

The word admits is associated with guilt, which is a bad things thus is an appeal to emotion
