HOUSTON, TX, August 4 2015 (LifeSiteNews) – A Planned Parenthood official admits that abortionists sometimes provide “intact” babies' body for organ harvesting and experimentation, in the latest undercover video released by the Center for Medical Progress. It also includes graphic footage of investigators seeing pristine organs extracted from a 20-week-old aborted baby.
The director of research for Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast, Melissa Farrell, told undercover investigators that abortionists are willing to alter the abortion process to obtain the body parts researchers request, or to deliver a child essentially intact.
“They can make it happen,” she said. “We bake that into our contract, and our protocol, that...we deviate from our standard in order to do that.”
“Some of our doctors,” she said, “do it [the abortion procedure] in a way that they get the best specimens, so, I know it can happen.”
As in the first video, Farrell goes to lunch with the team, stating that the fees paid for fetal body parts adds tremendous “diversification of the revenue stream” for the Planned Parenthood affiliate.
If she is admitting her activity generates a profit, that violates federal statutes prohibiting the sale of human organs for “valuable consideration.”
Farrell said the actors, who posed as a human biologics company, could receive the body parts they needed, and Planned Parenthood would bill in such a way that the company pays more for higher quality specimens and abortionists' extra effort.
“If we alter our process, and we are able to obtain intact fetal cadavers, we can make it part of the budget” to cover “dissections” and “splitting the specimens into different shipments,” she said. “It’s all just a matter of line items.”
“This is now the fifth member of Planned Parenthood leadership discussing payments for aborted baby parts without any connection to actual costs of so-called tissue ‘donation,'” said CMP Project Lead David Daleiden. “Planned Parenthood’s system-wide conspiracy to evade the law and make money off of aborted fetal tissue is now undeniable.”
The last several minutes of the video again shows graphic footage of the investigators inside the laboratories of the Houston abortion facility, combing through the body parts of a 20-week-old baby.
“It was a twin,” an employee says as she retrieves the remains from the refrigerator.
Clearly developed hands and feet are seen in the dish, as the investigator pulls out a lung with a pair of tweezers.
“Sometimes they come out really intact,” a tech told the pair of actors.
An employee added that, at later gestational age, “the 20-, 22-weekers we do, we get a lot better.”
“The organs come out really, really well,” she said.
An employee adds that Planned Parenthood's ability to extract intact babies depends on “how cooperative the patient is during the procedure,” especially once “you've pretty much maxed out...their [pain] tolerance.”
Whatever the method, more Planned Parenthood affiliates nationwide may soon be participating. During a conversation with Farrell, an employee states that the Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) is “encouraging more participation” in the fetal organ procurement program, “but they don't want to get too into the mix of it.”
Today's release follows a temporary restraining order imposed last Friday by federal judge William H. Orrick, III, an Obama donor who was then nominated for the federal bench by the president. The restraining order was requested by the National Abortion Federation.
Today's footage was released as a 15-minute-long video excerpt. In past cases, the CMP has quickly made the full, unedited footage available, as well.
Daleiden has said the organization has hours of video footage and a likely eight or more videos to release from its 30-month-long investigation. But he said the first five videos have already educated the public about the stark realities of aborted children organ sales.
“Anyone who watches these videos knows that Planned Parenthood is engaged in barbaric practices and human rights abuses that must end,” Daleiden said. “There is no reason for an organization that uses illegal abortion methods to sell baby parts and commit such atrocities against humanity to still receive over $500 million each year from taxpayers.”
Last night, a bill to defund Planned Parenthood garnered a majority of Senate votes but failed to pass due to parliamentary rules reinstituted by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
“No wonder God gave us Obama.”
Bingo!
I don’t think my outrage can get any worse.
Is that on this latest video?
We need to ask the question in the right way...
NON-PROFIT FOR WHOM????
“and yet, Eric Rudolph is the one in prison.”
Well, there is that thing where he MURDERED a bunch of people.
idiot.
“What the videos have done that nothing else has, is to show the level of glee, levity, and callousness of these people. And note they are all women.”
Indeed. I’ve been thinking about this a lot and it adds an extra layer of mendacity to the whole situation. The females God created to carry, protect, deliver and nurture new life... are now the leaders and chief propagandists and profiteers in an industry designed to kill and dismember new life then sell the parts for dubious research.
Oh gawd. It’s getting to the point that I wonder would Dr. Josef Mengele even approve of this....
Germany did not allow abortion in the third trimester.
Is that video taken in the USA? Is there any history about the video?
4-5 against 40 million plus. Hmmmm. Everyone who works for PP is an accessory to MURDER before, during or after the fact.
The person filming may go to prison.
The Moloch worshiping fiend? She will be defended and be on the View soon.
They are also screwed if a law is passed to show women applying for abortion the process of conception to birth and Untrasounds
If that law would pass and women would still opt for an abortion then they are just as bad as the doctors
The senate is not fillibuster or veto proof
And they never force either one, now do they? So we must have a super majority to get anything?!?! Why? The Democrats pushed a lot through on a simple majority...
Yes.
Democrats fillibustered yesterdays vote
Yes, it is. Hannity is talking about it right now and it will be on his show tonight.
Turn the other cheek.
Judge not, lest ye be judged.
Oh wait a minute, that’s only Jesus speaking.
I have nothing on it other than it was after an abortion and the baby is still obviously alive.
This is what some of the “other” videos that are coming out when they speak about if or not the procedure will produce an “intact fetus”....Alternately known as “dilation and extraction,” or D&X, and “intact D&E,”... it involves removing the fetus intact by dilating a pregnant woman’s cervix, then pulling ‘the entire body out through the birth canal’...
Governor Ann Richards daughter is Cecile Richards.
Mired in this abomination, getting on TV telling people ‘we are doing good things for women!’ Not a good legacy. A sordid business, and I would imagine most of the PP monsters may have to move away from their communities....would you want to live next to one of these people!
