ALAMEDA, CA, August 19, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) – A former procurement technician who helped harvest organs at Planned Parenthood said she saw a baby boy's heart beating outside his body before the child's body parts were extracted.
Holly O'Donnell, a former procurement technician at StemExpress, said at an abortion facility in Alameda, California, a co-worker named Jessica brought over the most fully developed baby she had ever seen and said, “I want you to see something kind of cool.”
There she saw the “closest thing to a [fully-developed] baby I've seen.”
“It had a face. It wasn't completely torn up,” she said. “Its nose was very pronounced.”
“She has one of her instruments, and she taps the heart, and it starts beating.”
“I'm looking at this fetus, and it's heart is beating,” O'Donnell said in astonishment.
“I don't know if that constitutes it's technically dead, or it's alive,” she continued.
Dr. Ben Van Handel, the vice president of Novogenix Laboratories, says on the video “there are times when, after the [abortion] procedure is done, that the heart is still beating.”
O'Donnell said that, after showing her the child's beating heart, Jessica told her, “This is a really good fetus, and it looks like we can procure a lot from it.”
She then asked O'Donnell to remove the baby's brain with scissors through the baby's face.
“I can't even describe what that feels like,” O'Donnell said. “That was the moment I knew I couldn't work for the company anymore...even if it was the cure for some disease.”
The video – the seventh released by the Center for Medical Progress – underscored revelations made in previous videos that Planned Parenthood officials alter the method of abortions they perform - not out of medical necessity for the mother - but in order to obtain a baby's body intact.
Intact fetal cadavers fetch higher fees, as they maximize the amount of organs and fetal tissue available for experimentation by biotech companies.
Perrin Larton, the procurement manager at Advanced Bioscience Resources, says, "I literally have had women come in and go in the OR [operating room] and they're back out in three minutes."
The doctor told her, "The fetus was already in the vaginal canal whenever we put her in the stirrups. It just fell out."
The first video, which was released just over a month ago, caught Planned Parnethood's senior director of medical services Dr. Deborah Nucatola saying that abortionists will often “change the presentation” of the baby to maximize the number of organs they can preserve intact.
Discussing the harvesting and sale of fetal organs over a business lunch of salad and red wine, Nucatola said she would look at the organs the biotech company wanted and decide during the abortion, “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.”

She then described a procedure identical to a partial birth abortion, which has been a federal felony since 2003.
In the fifth undercover video Melissa Farrell, the director of research for Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast, admitted "we deviate from our standard" protocol so that "we are able to obtain intact fetal cadavers."
“Sometimes they come out really intact,” a tech at the Houston facility told CMP investigators.
Farrell added that she found dissecting aborted babies "sickening on some level, but it’s fun."
O'Donnell had a different reaction.
Near the end of the new, 10-and-a-half-minute-long video, O'Donnell said after an abortion, she would often hold the child's body in her hands and ponder what the child's future may have been.
“This could be the next president,” she said. “I wonder at age three if she would like to color.”
Lost in thoughts of the unborn child's potential, she said, “I feel like it's a waste of life, and it's sad that so many people view it as a mistake.”
The videos have provoked a public backlash and spurred Republican leaders at both the state and national level to investigate and defund Planned Parenthood, the nation's leading provider of abortion.

This one was so awful - I burst into tears when that little baby appeared suddenly on the screen.
I can’t imagine what’s in the 12th video.
We are at the precipice.
Elect Trump, Cruz, or Carson and stop the insanity. Or be damned to Hell for all eternity.
Your choice, America.
How Will History Judge US?http://www.thecatholicthing.org/2015/08/19/how-will-history-judge-us/
Cruz and Paul have the track record of opposing this. Trump and Carson don’t. Heard too many politicians’ false campaign promises in my time to base my judgment on anything but verifiable history of action.
My God, this is barbaric! How many innocents! I cannot bear this news.
Lord, please help us turn our country around!
Anyone and I mean anyone even a troll who lurks on here tell me that is not a baby.
You left wing and those who do defend this should be jailed for murder, you make me sick .
So they kill live, postpartum babies to harvest parts (not just those they’ve aborted)?
Have they no sense of decency?
Maybe it doesn’t matter:
From Reuters today:
August 19, 2015
By Emily Stephenson
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – “Americans broadly support providing federal funding for free women’s health exams, screenings and contraception services, a Reuters/Ipsos poll has found, suggesting that Republicans could be in risky territory if they continue criticizing Planned Parenthood as a key part of 2016 campaigns.
Support for federal funding of Planned Parenthood itself to provide those women’s health services was even stronger, according to the Reuters/Ipsos released on Wednesday......”
A great evil has spread across the American soul and the majority approve. Maybe it is time for America to suffer the wages of sin.
As the old Confederate marching song went:
“Down with the Eagle and up with the Cross.”
I swear, if there was a “New World” somewhere I would be on the first boat/spaceship/whatever out of here. Time for a new, righteous, and free republic. This one may be already lost.
What is it going to take for The Party of Compassion to denounce this barbarism?
This is murder of a totally helpless human being. It is on the same scale as the horrendous Nazi medical experiments on live humans.
And these people are sponsors of Girl Scouts of America?
What the hell is wrong with these people???
Righteous blood cries out for vengeance. I fear it may happen sooner than most think.
I no longer have as friends people who support this butchery. I don't keep up with any of the Obama-worshipers with whom I went to college. It would be like staying friends with Robespierre or Goebbels after you knew what they were.
Jesus is giving us the opportunity to WAKE [fully] UP, via these videos through David Daleiden and the Center for Medical Progress. Is it only a mere “coincidence” these videos are being shown prior to the 2016 election?
And isn’t it ironic a “conservative” man who believes abortion is fine for victims of rape and incest, is getting all the current attention, when good holy pro-life men [married once each!] are in the running as well?
Again, Jesus is laying it all out for us to see. Choose wisely. This could be a [final] test!
Hanna Erendt had a term that describes this attitude quite accurately, in her study of the administrators and guards in the Nazi concentration camp machinery. She called it “The banality of evil.”
And still no arrest warrants...from anybody.
Bkmrk
I would truly celebrate if every PP office was firebombed.
Expect a visit from Jeh Johnson’s stormtroopers in the next 24 hours...
This sounds like something that would be said at Auschwitz.
