The Center for Medical Progress has released their sixth undercover Planned Parenthood video today, this one allegedly showing a former employee discussing her role in gathering blood and tissue from Parenthood clinics.
The video shows Holly ODonnell, who worked as a procurement technician for StemExpress, a Parenthood affiliate that provides biomedical researchers with donated fetal specimens. Unlike the previous videos that focused on the allegations that Parenthood is facing, the new videos focus is on ODonnells self-description as pro-life, and her discomfort with how Parenthood employees discuss tissue research with their clients.
ODonnell said in the video that Planned Parenthood is breaking federal laws by not getting consent from women by saying that they intend to sell tissue and organs from aborted fetuses for research. ODonnel claimed that women would be pressured into signing the form even before deciding to go through with the procedure, and that some of her colleagues ignored the forms altogether.
If there was a higher gestation, and the technicians needed it, there were times when they would just take what they wanted. And these mothers dont know. And theres no way they would know, ODonnell said.
ODonnell also described one incident where a colleague took blood instead of fetal tissue from a high gestated patient without her consent.
Its terrifying, ODonnell adds. Imagine if you were an abortion patient and someone was going in and stealing your babys parts.
The Los Angeles Superior Court issued a temporary restraining order earlier this month, prohibiting the Center for Medical Progress from releasing videos featuring StemExpress leaders. Parenthood spokesman Eric Ferrero released a statement to CNN, continuing their argument that the videos were illegally gathered and edited to negatively portray the organization:
The video released today shows someone who has never worked for Planned Parenthood making false and outrageous claims, without any evidence to back them up Planned Parenthood follows all laws period. This latest video is part of a fraud intended to deceive the public and advance an extreme political agenda, and nothing on this video substantiates false claims from anti-abortion activists.
Jezebel reported that they received word from StemExpress about the video, alleging ODonnell violated a confidentiality agreement and stole confidential documents from them for CMP.

It is a bit disconcerting to say the least to think that when you donate your own body parts or miscarried child to scientific research that your caregivers might then SELL your flesh and blood donations. But PP makes it even worse because they are selling donated babies and baby parts from murdered babies. No kickbacks to the donors. They charge the donors for medical services and then SELL the donations. It is outrageous!
What terrible writing. The video doesn't "allegedly" show anything. It most certainly shows a former employee. Perhaps it shows a former (StemExpress) employee discussing her alleged role in gathering blood and tissue from PP clinics. But it definitely shows something.
Se7ven is on SyFy tonight.
That’s why I’m not an organ donor. I’m more valuable to a hospital dead than I am alive. They get my heart for free, sell it for 500,000 dollars.
It most certainly shows someone, but the issue is who that person is. If it's taken to mean that the makers of the video allege the subject is a former employee (but, hypothetically, she may be an actor), then it makes fair grammatical sense. Though "showing an alleged former employee" would be less ambiguous.
Not that I'm saying that's the case, of course. It seems to me that if Ms. O'Donnell wasn't whom she claimed to be, then the damage control department at Planned Barrenhood might have, er, alleged that by now.
Jericho the Lion better stay alert. He could end up being the next headline used by the commie libs to bury this.
“Planned Parenthood follows all laws period.”
They said “period”! It must be the truth.
“If we like your baby’s organs, we can keep your baby’s organs. Period.”
No can get. Cable cut long ago. But thanks for the heads up.
(What is a Se7ven?)
O. I. C.
I’ll see your Se7ven and raise you a Fallen.
PITY.. it’s very very hard to PISS OFF a republican...
So I’m BAD..... I’m not tolerant of liberals that LOVE to wash their hair in shampoo’s that have liquidified babies collagen in them.. huge market..
Won’t STOP soon unless the guillotine is brung back,,,
Seems they would get more mileage out of the videos if they spaced the release out a little more. Allow people to absorb the shock of the first two and then wait a few months to create another firestorm. A lot of people aren’t paying attention after the first two. They just know it’s bad.
Just an opinion.
“...and these mothers don’t know.”
The aborting women are referred to as mothers.
If they are not human babies, but just fetal
Material, why are the women called “mothers.”
I get sick to my stomach thinking about things that we use in everyday life that may have baby “parts” in them.
I still believe they go out looking for pregnant “girls” in lower income neighborhoods offering “free” abortions or even paying them. This is obviously a “for profit” business.
sperm receptacles..... lol... in a black humor sort of way..
Baby Daddies raising sperm receptacles..
at least ones that survive..
that is for the rare ones that are in the vicinity..
Some, Black people deserve Margarete Sanger for ignoring the bitch..
Wheres the friggen black outrage over THAT.. douche bag..
They don’t have to seek out pregnant girls. There are enough of them. But what they do is to tell the girls they are poor (no parents need be consulted because they might be against their daughter getting an abortion) and that they just have to fill out these forms here and the state will cover our costs.
How dare they use the sexist word period. P.P. has a war against woman! I demand an apology, I also thought I might have seen the word blood in there somewhere.
