Planned Parenthood once again finds itself at the center of scandal as new undercover footage was released today by The Center for Medical Progress. The tapes, which are dated April 7, 2015, show staff from Planned Parenthood’s Rocky Mountains affiliate, located in Colorado, engaging in negotiations over human fetal body parts.
The video opens with a negotiation between Vice President and Medical Director of Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains Dr. Savita Ginde and a potential buyer for fetal body parts. Ginde is seen saying, “I’ve know I’ve seen livers, I’ve seen stomachs, I’ve seen plenty of neural tissue. Usually you can see the whole brain usually come out.”
To preserve the organs, Ginde says that “we’d have to do a little bit of training” to ensure staff “didn’t crush” the parts that were wanted. Ginde warned about legal risks saying “if you have someone in a really anti [abortion] state that’s going to be doing this for you, they’re probably going to get caught.” She continued that they told their lawyer that, “we don’t want to get called on selling fetal parts across states.”
The video then cuts to the laboratory where a Planned Parenthood technician can be seen sorting through parts of aborted babies. Dr. Ginde tells the prospective buyer that they would likely structure the arrangement on a “per item,” rather than a flat fee: “I think a per-item thing works a little better, just because we can see how much we can get out of it.”
Planned Parenthood staff examine the human fetal remains following an abortion at 11 weeks.
During the parts sorting process, Ginde notes, “Here’s a stomach, kidney, heart.” An unnamed technician exclaims that it is “another boy!”

Live Action President Lila Rose issued a strong statement blasting the unethical and improper behavior of Planned Parenthood:
Even as more tapes emerge of top-level Planned Parenthood executives bartering and negotiating over the parts of aborted children, our nation will fund Planned Parenthood with over 1.4 million dollars today alone.
As the outrage only continues to grow, Congress and the President must act immediately to stop the forced taxpayer funding of these horrific and barbaric facilities.
In the first tape, which have been viewed almost 3 million times, Planned Parenthood Senior Medical Director Dr. Deborah Nucatola discusses the potential sale of fetal body parts which is illegal under federal law. The punishment for such an act is fines and/or up to 10 years in prison. This video is embedded below:
Future videos from inside Planned Parenthood are expected as David Daleiden, Project Lead for The Center for Medical Progress, told Sean Hannity’s radio program Tuesday that: “We have close to 300 hours total of undercover video that was gathered during a 30 month long in depth investigative journalism study of how Planned Parenthood sells the body parts of the babies they abort.”
In response to the videos, Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards apologized saying “the tone was terribly wrong” but stated that her organization was innocent. In the interview she refrained from addressing the specific statements by Planned Parenthood directors that appear to violate U.S. law. Richards also blasted the first two videos as being “highly edited” although full, unedited tapes were released alongside shortened versions that highlighted key interactions.
Planned Parenthood has also hired SKDKnickerbocker, a high-powered crisis management firm, which distributed a memo to reporters asking them to not show the video to protect the privacy of patients. In our review, no Planned Parenthood patients were seen on the tapes.
Over half a dozen state investigations have been launched into Planned Parenthood’s actions with the Texas State Senate health and human services committee holding a hearing Tuesday. Planned Parenthood was asked to testify but refused to attend.
Congress is also conducting its own investigation and a measure was introduced in the U.S. Senate by Joni Ernst, Rand Paul, and James Lankford to defund Planned Parenthood of taxpayer support. Senator Lankford remarked that, “It is time for federal taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood to end and let community health centers use that funding to provide health care services for those in greatest need.”
These people bringeth me of ill.
I can’t even read this stuff anymore. It’s so incredibly disgusting and frankly unbelievable. It’s like something out of a horror film. What the hell has this world come to?
IIRC, David Daleiden also told Hannity the eventually all 300 hours will be posted to the internet so the public can validate that editing did not result in a misrepresentation of the facts.

Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed.
“Congress and the President must act immediately to stop the forced taxpayer funding of these horrific and barbaric facilities.”
It might help if we forego silly fantasies. Planned Parenthood spent $12 Million dollars helping Obama get re-elected.
This means that glittering monkeys will fly out of my butt long before Obama’s Justice Department takes any action in this matter, other than to prosecute the Center For Medical Progress.
Wait a minute! I thought they were just fetus’s?
I'm about to the point I just wish the Lord would send fire and brimstone and be done with this God forsaken country.
You can tell a boy from clump of cells? Hmmmm..
This is the big lie that’s shining a light on these ghouls.
Yes, but some American white guy killed a beloved lion in Zimbabwe!!! Which is really cruel - and deserves all of our media attention!
/s
Yes it is truly disgusting both what PP is doing and that the media is all about Cecil the lion in an effort to sweep it under the rug.
So much for that California court injunction. Prior restraint might fly with today’s Supreme Court but it will be a long time getting there.
Fetuses is closer to correct in modern sloppy English. I don’t think you meant to denote a possessive.

Concur..I can’t get past the headlines...Horrific...
a lot more important and deserving of life than humans.
American's of good, moral conscience should be absolutely horrified and demand PP be shut down.
One question: When will pro-life American's like me start surrounding PP locations and shut them down ourselves?
Isn't it time for strong civil disobedience in the face of such a grotesque moral wrong?
I firmly believe God is trying to remove the scales from our eyes & give Americans ONE MORE CHANCE to turn from this evil. If we don’t....well....look out.
I weep for this nation. And I pray for these people
“What the hell has this world come to?”
I’ve been trying for over 20 years to tell people the dem party wasn’t taking us to Communism but Nazism.
Everyone wanted to tell me Nazism couldn’t happen here because in this country we’re different.
Maybe people will start to believe me.
I can guarantee Obamacare will let them do it with people that are alive.
Indeed.
