Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains (PPRM) has responded to the video released by the Center for Medical Progress showing their abortionist negotiating the price of aborted babies’ body parts.
The footage features Dr. Savita Ginde, the Vice President and Medical Director of PPRM in Denver, Colorado. Dr. Ginde tells actors posing as buyers from a fake human biologics company known as Biomax that payment per organ will be the most financially beneficial for Planned Parenthood. She said, “I think a per-item thing works a little better, just because we can see how much we can get out of it.”
However, now Planned Parenthood’s lawyers are claiming that their contract stated that they wouldn’t receive any illegal money from Biomax. In fact, Politico reports that they have “internal documents” backing up this information and even the contract itself. In January, the clinic allegedly amended a section of their agreement with Biomax and added text to ensure that Planned Parenthood would only receive funds for “transportation, processing, preservation and storage” of the aborted babies.
SIGN THE PETITION! Congress Must Investigate Planned Parenthood for Selling Aborted Baby Parts
Vicky Coward, the President of PPRM said, “In internal correspondence sent during the time when anti-abortion extremists were fraudulently engaged in conversations about launching tissue donation programs, both of the Planned Parenthood physicians named in today’s video make clear that they are strictly adhering to the law and medical ethics.”
The founder of the Center for Medical Progress, David Daleiden, responded to these claims and said, “The Rocky Mountain Planned Parenthood affiliate was very careful to phrase the contract in a way that would look on paper like they were not making a profit. We discussed that strategy at length with Ginde on video and that tape will make Planned Parenthood’s cover-up very clear.”
He added, “If this so called ‘contract’ means anything Dr. Ginde should be immediately dismissed for clearly violating its terms when as our video investigation clearly shows she was negotiating a per baby organ price in order to increase Planned Parenthood’s bottom line.”
Politco did admit that PPRN’s amended contract can’t be “independently confirmed” and they haven’t released any documentation from the abortion business.
As LifeNews reported, this video of Dr. Ginde is one of three showing Planned Parenthood’s top executives callously talking about selling aborted babies for medical research. In the first video, Planned Parenthood’s medical director, Dr. Deborah Nucatola, tells fake buyers that their abortionists are very skilled at obtaining body parts during their procedures. She said, “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.”
SIGN THE PETITION! Congress Must De-Fund Planned Parenthood Immediately
Nucatola concludes, “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.”
Then, in a second video, the Medical Director of Planned Parenthood in California, Mary Gatter, refers to a “less crunchy” technique that abortionists use to get intact body parts. Although initially Gatter says she’s not in it for the money, later she tries to bump up the price for fetal body parts. She says, “Let me just figure out what others are getting, and if this is in the ballpark, then it’s fine, if it’s still low, then we can bump it up. I want a Lamborghini.”
Oh! So that’s what Joseph Mengele did wrong! He was making money on his experiments! \needless-sarcasm-end-tag
If the amended it, would that no mean that there was an earlier agreement that they did in fact make which was profitable?
Hey, they are just doing all this as a public service - sort of like Mother Teresa's orphanages - and living spartanly off donations from well-wishers. Probably all those abortion doctors, nurses, and clinic managers are barely surviving off food stamps and food pantries.
“non-profits” are the biggest scam going.
It’s a non-profit that brings in over a billion dollars a year.
“Planned Parenthood’s net revenue increased 5% to total of $1.21 billion in its organizational fiscal year ending on June 30, 2013, according to its new Annual Report 2012-2013, and about 45% of that revenue—$540.6 million—was provided by taxpayer-funded government health services grants.”
It’s just like the NFL which is classified as a non-profit trade association which makes about 10 billion dollars a year.
Why yes, medically ethical conversations always involve Lambourghinis
Yes but never underestimate the power and mind changing qualities of a well worn 2X4 between the eyes. ;)
Running a brothel as a low bid contract job isn’t exactly the road to riches. Ever see the whores there?
pt when....”Florida Gov. Rick Scott orders inspections of Planned Parenthood offices!”
this is one big pendulum
I will withhold excitement. I do not remotely trust the same people that ALLOWED this mess to FIX this mess.
I hope they do but I’ll go with verify before trust when the GOP is involved.
The logic of the wicked falls far short.
From what I heard some of these parts were going for $16,000.
Exactly.
they need to release all the videos now. screw the ca judge. not all were done in california anyway.
Congress should defund Planned Parenthood and then resign in abject shame for having funded it in the first place and for allowing this bloody mass murder of innocents to continue.
Buchwald v. Paramount (1990) 1990 Cal. App. LEXIS 634, was a breach of contract lawsuit filed and decided in California in which humorist and writer Art Buchwald alleged that Paramount Pictures stole his script idea and turned it into the 1988 movie Coming to America. Buchwald won the lawsuit and was awarded damages, and then accepted a settlement from Paramount before any appeal took place.SourceThe decision was important mainly for the court's determination in the damages phase of the trial that Paramount used "unconscionable" means of determining how much to pay authors, which is widely called "Hollywood Accounting." Paramount claimed, and provided accounting evidence to support the claim, that despite the movie's $288 million in revenues, it had earned no net profit, according to the definition of "net profit" in Buchwald's contract, and hence Buchwald was owed nothing.
Was Mengele in it for profit or for his idea of “research?” Apparently it was research... in the view of Planned Parenthood then, Mengele was Mr. Ethical.

Yes. But Congress isn’t the actual problem. They are merely ordinary criminals. It could have been any and every mix of them for the last 30 years. The problem, as that Euro writer once said of Obama, isn’t the GOP/congress per se. It’s the people that would elect such criminals to begin with.
And I would add, do so calling it a lesser evil.
A liberal will justify anything as long as they get what they want. Always.
