House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi has no interest in digging deeper into the revelations that the Planned Parenthood abortion business is selling the body part of aborted babies Instead, she wants the Obama administration to investigate the pro-life activists who posed as undercover reporters to catch top Planned Parenthood doctors negotiating the sales.
A second shocking video has been released showing a top Planned Parenthood official discussing and arranging the sale of body parts of aborted babies. The first video shows Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s Senior Director of Medical Services, Dr. Deborah Nucatola, describing how Planned Parenthood sells the body parts of aborted unborn children and admitting she uses partial-birth abortions to supply intact body parts.
In the second video, Mary Gatter, the Medical director at Planned Parenthood Pasadena and San Gabriel Valley in California, discusses selling aborted baby body parts with undercover investigators posing as officials with a biotech company that acts as a middleman to sell aborted baby body parts to universities and other places that conduct such research. Gatter is a senior official within Planned Parenthood and is President of the Medical Directors’ Council, the central committee of all Planned Parenthood affiliate medical directors.
SIGN THE PETITION! Congress Must De-Fund Planned Parenthood Immediately
A total of 8 states have already launched an investigation including Kansas, Missouri, Arizona, Indiana, Ohio, Georgia, Texas and Louisiana and members of Congress have launched an investigation as well.
But Nancy Pelosi is not interested, as The Hill reports. Instead, she wants the pro-life group investigated and says they are creating a “false controversy” where non supposedly exists:
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Thursday joined calls for a federal investigation into the California-based anti-abortion group that sparked the Planned Parenthood hidden camera controversy.
“Let’s have an investigation of those people who were trying to ensnare Planned Parenthood in a controversy that doesn’t exist,” Pelosi said Thursday in her first public remarks about Planned Parenthood since the first undercover video surfaced last week.
A long-time abortion rights champion, Pelosi dismissed accusations that Planned Parenthood has raked in profits from its fetal tissue donation program.
“Planned Parenthood has said that they have done nothing illegal,” she said. “They do not ever charge, which would be illegal, for fetal tissue. They have only defrayed the cost of mailing that to someone, which is not breaking the law.”
She also criticized the selectively edited videos released by the Center for Medical Progress, pointing to the “disparities” between actual film and edited versions.
Pelosi dismissed the GOP’s attacks against Planned Parenthood, which she said “has been going on for a long time.”
She said government investigators should, instead, focus on the legality of the Center for Medical Progress’s political activity, backing an effort by several House Democrats who have called for a Department of Justice probe.
“They’ve been out to get Planned Parenthood for as long as I can remember,” the California Democrat said. “This is about women’s health. Planned Parenthood has said they have done nothing anything illegal.”
Pelosi apparently is unaware that both full videos has been released without any edits whatsoever.
In the second video, Gatter discusses the pricing of aborted baby body parts — telling the biotech company officials that the prices for such things as a baby’s liver, head or heart are negotiable. She also tells the officials that she could talk with the Planned Parenthood abortion practitioners to potentially alter the abortion procedure to kill the baby in a way that would best preserve those body parts after the unborn child is killed in the abortion.
The Obama administration is connected to at least one of the Planned Parenthood doctors in the video. Nucatola is an Obama administration adviser and she also serves on the board of a pro-abortion sex ed group founded by a former Obama administration official and whose board includes current Obama administration staff.
Reacting to the video, President Barack Obama’s top spokesman Josh Earnest indicated Obama will definitely not agree with pro-life Republicans in Congress to revoke funding for the Planned Parenthood abortion business.
Obama has spoken before Planned Parenthood’s national conference, the abortion giant endorsed and worked closely with Obama and his administration, and its CEO Cecile Richards has hobnobbed with Obama at White House functions.
In the video, Nucatola is at a business lunch with actors posing as buyers from a human biologics company. As head of PPFA’s Medical Services department, Nucatola has overseen medical practice at all Planned Parenthood locations since 2009. She also trains new Planned Parenthood abortion doctors and performs abortions herself at Planned Parenthood Los Angeles up to 24 weeks.
Nucatola admits that Planned Parenthood charges per-specimen for baby body parts, uses pseudo-partial-birth abortion procedures in order to get salable parts, and is aware of their own liability for doing so and takes steps to cover it up.
Nucatola also admits that Planned Parenthood charges per-specimen for baby body parts, uses illegal partial-birth abortion procedures in order to get salable parts, and is aware of their own liability for doing so and takes steps to cover it up.
The footage shockingly depicts the top medical official at the Planned Parenthood corporation munching on her salad while she discusses the sale of body parts of unborn children victimized by abortions. She brazenly describes how the heads of unborn babies killed in abortions command top dollar.
The buyers ask Nucatola, “How much of a difference can that actually make, if you know kind of what’s expected, or what we need?”

“It makes a huge difference,” Nucatola replies. “I’d say a lot of people want liver. And for that reason, most providers will do this case under ultrasound guidance, so they’ll know where they’re putting their forceps. The kind of rate-limiting step of the procedure is calvarium. Calvarium—the head—is basically the biggest part.”
Nucatola explains, “We’ve been very good at getting heart, lung, liver, because we know that, so I’m not gonna crush that part, I’m gonna basically crush below, I’m gonna crush above, and I’m gonna see if I can get it all intact.”
“And with the calvarium, in general, some people will actually try to change the presentation so that it’s not vertex,” she continues. “So if you do it starting from the breech presentation, there’s dilation that happens as the case goes on, and often, the last step, you can evacuate an intact calvarium at the end.”
In a video response to the heavy criticism, Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards apologizes for the tone the Nucatola took but not for selling the body parts of aborted babies.
Dr. Nucatola said, “You’re just kind of cognizant of where you put your graspers, you try to intentionally go above and below the thorax, so that, you know, we’ve been very good at getting heart, lung, liver, because we know that, so I’m not gonna crush that part, I’m going to basically crush below, I’m gonna crush above, and I’m gonna see if I can get it all intact.”
The abortionist also explains that Planned Parenthood charges per-specimen for baby body parts and is aware of their own liability for doing so. When asked about a price, she said, “I would say it’s probably anywhere from $30 to $100, depending on the facility and what’s involved.” Unbelievably, she admits that some body parts, such as livers and heads, are much more popular and go for a higher price than other specimen.
David Daleiden, the founder of the group Center for Medical Progress told CBS News, “Planned Parenthood is still receiving $50, $75, sometimes $100
FYI ping!
Don’t worry. Feet will be held to the fire. The lesser evils we had to elect will shut this down any day now. Any day...
This woman is totally insane, evil and corrupt.
Tyrants don’t like it when you expose them.
Hey you shriveled up old hag! you are supporting murder. The fact that it’s legal doesn’t change anything.
I’m disgusted that you plan to use the full power of the government against normal people.
NP is a “devout, practicing ‘Catholic’”, doncha know.
Geez, is that demon still around? It’s been nice not to hear her name in awhile.
Monsters should roast in hell.

Obama’s spokesman made the exact same comments.
The level of coordination among the Democrat leadership is indicative of how significant and potentially harmful this is to them.
And the good catholics in her district will continue to vote for this ‘good catholic’ because that is the democrat way
See, Democrats are never on defense, always on offense. You come at me with a video showing an organization I support is contemptible? I get outraged about YOU! This is how they do things. And it works, the GOP is terrified of them.
Well, all but one guy. He is doing things exactly they way they do and both the democrats and the republicans are having seizures over it and talking about how outrageous this style of campaigning is. Pretty funny, really.
This deranged person called abortion “sacred ground”
The biggest shareholder of Auberge de Soleil in Napa Nancy Pelosi.
It is ranked in the top 10 resorts in the USA by Conde Nast; a burger and fries there costs $22 and they employ ZERO union employees.
Nancy lives in Napa on a $23 million dollar winery estate, where they, too, employ ZERO union employees.
One year for her huge gummint-provded jet the booze tab came to $100,000. She once diverted her jet almost 1,000 miles to pick-up an order or chocolate-dipped strawberries.
Catholic, she once described abortion as being "hallowed ground" to her.
Opensecrets is pretty good stuff. The only reason they haven’t tried to shut that down is it gives them good ingo on the other guys...; )

No. Let’s have an investigation as to the real reasons you wouldn’t let people know what was in it until you passed it. Turn over your bank deposit records so we can see how much you made from Soros while covering for The One.
