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.
“And yet, not a SINGLE person on Facebook, where many of my contacts are conservatives, will DARE to post this politically-incorrect news, because they fear the backlash that could come from it, from family, friends, and others, up to AND INCLUDING the loss of their jobs.”
Actually, I have friends from high school on my facebook page that have had abortions that now regret them, that’s why I don’t bring it up. They feel bad enough without me piling on. I do blast people on other blogs and news sites, though. I don’t give a shit what they think.
There is a voting block that is beyond ideological. The "choice" issue is so ingrained into them, they don't care what facts get into their conscience. Their brains could well be cement around a small core functioning on a primitive level. The abortion issue is a dog whistle that they are conditioned to respond like some Pavlovian call to salivate whenever it is used. The Democrat Marxists use it to their advantage.
That being said, there is an entire voting block that stayed home in 2008 and 2012. These fools can be called Fat Asses with no guilt. They think it is God's will and He will select what leaders we should have, based upon false interpretations of the Bible. No need to vote. Just let God do it all. These voters are like able bodied citizens who get into handicap parking and a Hoveround because it is the easier way to go. They let God be their handicap ramp and stay home.
Others are hard core "I don't give a da**!" They would rather come home from work on election day, hit the couch and watch TV. They are the center of the world and nothing else matters. They are also the Number One Fat Ass Fools. They think that they can let "the fools" go through all the trouble to pick the biggest fool in the country to sit as the King. They only thing they want is for the wife to have the house clean and the dinner ready when they get home. Why should they go out and vote? Dinner will get cold.
Then, there are the ideological purists. First off, there have been plenty of ideologues throughout history. They have the answer for how the world should work. One thing is certain, their answer for how man should live does not guarantee they are consistent with the facts. To be consistent with the laws of nature is a crap shoot because so many idologues get their ideas from alternate universes. And, because they are so off the wall for human beings, many people have lost their lives when an ideologue would not tolerate diversion from their ideology. It is so with the purists who will not tolerate diversion from their ideology. They will stay home rather than do the hard work of convincing others that their ideology is consistent with the laws of nature. That would take too much work and they want life to be easy and not take too much energy. For them, a good stiff drink and a arm chair (with plenty of ivy growing around them) is better than going out in the cold and voting.
To sum up, we should think smart, avoid being Pavlovian Dogs, get our Number One Fat Asses out of our Hoverounds and never think that Democracy is a handicap ramp. We can climb into our arm chair surrounded with ivy and sip our stiff drinks after the election.
Sad but true.
To witness all this and to do nothing is to be complicit.
You bet. Whoopi Goldberg, who has murdered seven of her eight children, will welcome this monster with open arms.
Hey Rhoda,
What do you think of the phrase “Go to hell” ?
Just curious to know how a liberal interprets it.
God bless!
>>Worshipping the creation over the creator applies to pretty much everything.
I think Created Things in the context of Romans 1:25 especially refers to things manufacture by humans out of the desire to be their own gods.
Maybe, but I don’t think so.
Worshipping creation would include:
Humanists, PETA and other animal rights groups, environmentalists, etc. Basically, worshipping anything other than God would be elevating anything in all of creation to a point of importance above Him.
“We need to ask the question in the right way... NON-PROFIT FOR WHOM?”
Good point.
But I still think the important thing is to avoid letting PP play a shell game with words. It does not matter whether PP made a profit or anyone else. What matters is they received “valuable consideration” for human organs. This is a criminal act regardless of the profit motive.
You left religion off the list.
“Fallible and uninspired men have assumed dominion over the faith of others...”
The prince of this world has always coveted the relationship between Christ and His body.
The 'good' it has done in the medical world is, at best, minimal, and not worth what is going on here. Let nobody tell you otherwise...

Makes Stephen King look like the hack he actually is...

Of course you are correct. But I also think it is important to show people how they weasel-word the descriptions of their activities to make said activities appear "simon-pure" - and themselves paragons of virtue.
“Hey Rhoda,
What do you think of the phrase Go to hell ?
“
After you.
“This statement needs to be unpacked!”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
YES, it does!!!
This latest video (intact vs parts) forced me to research how abortions are performed.
And now they are changing procedures to get better parts, intact babies? Pain tolerance? Any consideration of the fetal baby’s pain (rhetorical question)?
Speechless as well. Great post.
People are having to think about it and that is a really good thing.
