A Victory of Sorts for Undercover Pro-Life Activists Against 'Politically Motivated Prosecution' - CBN News

A Victory of Sorts for Undercover Pro-Life Activists Against 'Politically Motivated Prosecution'
CBN News 06-22-2017
A California court dismissed 14 of the 15 criminal charges against two pro-life undercover investigators with the Center for Medical Progress. 
California Attorney General Xavier Becerra brought the charges against David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt for recording conversations they had with Planned Parenthood officials. Those tapes allegedly include discussions about the sale of aborted baby tissue and body parts by Planned Parenthood. 
The Superior Court in San Francisco dropped the 14 charges, but left all of them open to amend. That means Becerra could change the charges and bring them again, or bring new charges against Daleiden and Merrit. The court also kept one charge against Merrit for allegedly conspiring to invade privacy. 
Daleiden believes this legal battle has little to do with what he did, and everything to do with politics. 
"This is a politically motivated prosecution," Daleiden told reporters Wednesday. "And this is discriminatory against pro-life Americans and a rally against Californians who happen to have a different point of view."
Becerra, the attorney who brought the charges, is also known for having close ties to Planned Parenthood. He reportedly received thousands of dollars from the abortion giant during his congressional election bids between 1998 and 2014
Even the Los Angeles Times' editorial board called out Becerra for his actions. 
"It's disturbingly aggressive for Becerra to apply this criminal statute to people who were trying to influence a contested issue of public policy, regardless of how sound or popular that policy may be," the Los Angeles Times said in a statement. "The state doesn't need to threaten the pair with prison time."

'Selling Baby Parts Like Widgets on an Assembly Line': Pro-Lifers Blast P. Parenthood - CBN News Paul Strand


'Selling Baby Parts Like Widgets on an Assembly Line': Pro-Lifers Blast P. Parenthood

02-14-2017 CBN News Paul Strand

WASHINGTON -- Prominent pro-life speakers took on various issues concerning Planned Parenthood during this weekend's #ProtestPP rallies. Demonstrators gathered at some 200 locations across the nation to protest forced taxpayer funding of the abortion giant.
At a rally in front of a clinic in Orange, California, undercover investigator David Daleiden of the Center for Medical Progress blasted Planned Parenthood for its alleged trade in body parts of the unborn.
"This Planned Parenthood of Orange and San Bernardino County is one of the places – this exact clinic right behind me, this exact mega-center where they do abortions up to six months – this clinic is one of the places where for years and years they have been harvesting and selling the body parts of our unborn brothers and sisters, like so many widgets on an assembly line," Daleiden stated.
Daleiden was part of the undercover investigative team that released shocking videos of Planned Parenthood employees talking about this gruesome practice of harvesting those body parts.
"We now know for almost eight years this Planned Parenthood clinic was partnered with DaVinci Biosciences and DV Biologics up in Yorba Linda, where every week, multiple times a week, their technicians would come into the center and harvest the body parts of late-term aborted children and then re-sell them to make half-a-million dollars every year," Daleiden charged.
He added, "Planned Parenthood knew that this was going on for eight years.  They received kickback contributions from DaVinci in exchange for the relationship.  And for eight years they used a fraudulent inaccurate consent form to try to coerce their patients to give consent for their body parts to be harvested and sold for profit against the law."
"They are an integral part of the criminal trade in the body parts of our unborn brothers and sisters and they must be held accountable to the law for their barbarism," Daleiden said.
Speaking at a rally in Aurora, Illinois, Jill Stanek of the pro-life Susan B. Anthony List talked about how Planned Parenthood dominates the abortion scene.
She spoke of Planned Parenthood's record of "killing one in three babies in the United States from abortion.  Their percentage of abortion increased from 20 percent to 34 percent in just six years."
Stanek also noted that the amount of taxpayer funding going to the abortion giant has soared in recent years.
"I'm sure that this is in line with President Obama being in charge: Planned Parenthood's proceeds from our tax dollars increased by 50 percent since 2007," she said.
At the same rally in Aurora, Eric Scheidler of the Pro-Life Action League blasted Terry O'Neill, president of the National Organization for Women Foundation, for her recent written critique of pro-life health care advocates.
"One of the things she complained about in her article was the website GetYourCare.org," Scheidler told CBN News.  
"When someone says, 'Well, how are women going to get their health care?' – they're going to go to GetYourCare.org and they're going to find health care that they need in their community.  O'Neill was complaining that that list of health care providers included dentists," he said.
"Some of them are dentists!" Scheidler gasped in a tone of mock outrage, then asked, "Show of hands: Whoever's been to the dentist?"
Every hand at the rally went up.
Then the pro-life leader asked, "Can you go to Planned Parenthood for dental care?  No.  Can you go to Planned Parenthood for the flu?  No.  Can you go to Planned Parenthood if you've got a broken leg?  No."
He continued, "Can you go to Planned Parenthood if you've got behavioral issues, depression, heart disease, if you've got a problem with sleep, if you've got back pain?  One of the most common problems Americans have: back pain.   Planned Parenthood?  Can't help you."
Referring again to the pro-abortion NOW Foundation president, Scheidler concluded, "Terry O'Neill thinks the only thing a woman needs to see a doctor for is an abortion or maybe some contraceptive pills.  Doesn't that show you their mentality?"
"That they would complain we're trying to connect women to dentists along with other kinds of health care," he continued. "We believe in comprehensive health care for Americans.   We want to provide that any way we can."
"And that's what GetYourCare.org is about," he concluded. "And that's the difference between the pro-life movement and the pro-death movement."

Pro-Life Christians Celebrate David Daleiden's Victory - BOB ESCHLIMAN CHARISMA NEWS

Pro-Life Christians Celebrate David Daleiden's Victory

Christian pro-life investigative journalist David Daleiden still faces a felony indictment in Texas after a judge there ruled a misdemeanor charge was without merit. (Video Screenshot Image)
Tuesday, one of the charges against Christian pro-life investigative journalist David Daleiden in Harris County, Texas, was dismissed.
Daleiden faced a misdemeanor charge of attempting to illegally purchase baby body parts. But Judge Diane Bull determined that indictment was void. Despite this legal victory, Daleiden still faces a felony charge for allegedly using a fake driver's license to conceal his identity during his undercover investigation of Planned Parenthood.
Daleiden's organization, the Center for Medical Progress, issued the following statement:
Judge Diane Bull's swift dismissal of the bogus charge against CMP founder David Daleiden of trafficking human organs is the latest confirmation that the indictments from a runaway grand jury in Houston were a politically-motivated sham all along. In finding that the indictment was void on its face, Judge Bull's ruling directly contradicts the District Attorney's argument that the indictment was valid despite the DA's collusion with Planned Parenthood.
The dismissal of the first indictment today sends a strong message to Planned Parenthood and their political cronies that colluding to suppress the First Amendment rights of citizen journalists will never work. The Center for Medical Progress follows all applicable laws in the course of its investigative journalism work and as more details about Planned Parenthood's contracts for aborted baby parts come to light, it's clear that Planned Parenthood and their business partners like StemExpress are the ones who are guilty of trafficking in human body parts.
Peter Breen of the Thomas More Society, which is representing Daleiden, said recent filings confirm the Harris County District Attorney colluded with Planned Parenthood. He said the filings also indicate the DA's office worked with Planned Parenthood to undermine the Texas Attorney General's independent investigation of the abortion provider.
"The conduct of Harris County prosecutors in this case is outrageous and illegal," he said. "We look forward to pressing our motion to quash this indictment in court."
A number of pro-life Christian groups, including the Family Research Council, have responded to the news.
"I am grateful that Judge Diane Bull was able to see through what appears to be a baseless charge that is politically motivated," FRC President Tony Perkins said. "There was no transaction or attempted transaction to suggest Daleiden was actually buying aborted baby body parts.
"Of course the charges against Daleiden scream the question: Why didn't the District Attorney charge Planned Parenthood for selling the body parts? You can't have a buyer without a seller.
"The Harris County judge overseeing the felony false identification charge against Daleiden should follow the example of Judge Bull in dismissing the indictment, and realize that these charges against Daleiden are nothing but naked political intimidation and attempts to silence the truth of what the abortion industry is doing.
"I also urge California Attorney General Kamala Harris to follow the lead of Judge Bull and return Daleiden's undercover footage exposing the sale of baby body parts, which was illegally seized by the state in violation of Daleiden's constitutional rights. It is time to end this political bullying of Daleiden and his colleagues who simply exposed the abhorrent sale of aborted children's organs.
"It is Planned Parenthood, biotech companies and the abortion industry that need to be investigated further, not those who expose their illegal and heinous activities."

House Panel Proves David Daleiden Was Right - BOB ESCHLIMAN CHARISMA NEWS

House Panel Proves David Daleiden Was Right

Troy Newman of Operation Rescue says the evidence released Wednesday by the Select Panel on Infant Lives proves beyond a shadow of doubt that Planned Parenthood has profited illegally from the trafficking of aborted baby tissue and organs. (Submitted photo)
At its much-anticipated hearing Wednesday morning, the Select Panel on Infant Lives released a series of exhibits that prove beyond a doubt that Planned Parenthood has been lying to the American people about whether or not it illegally profits from trafficking aborted baby tissue and organs.
Troy Newman, president of Operation Rescue, also served as a founding board member for the Center for Medical Progress, which produced videos exposing the illegal trade. And following the Select Panel's document release, he's speaking out.
"It is clear from the documentation released by the Select Panel that money paid to Planned Parenthood in exchange for aborted baby remains qualified as illegal 'valuable consideration.' This completely validates every allegation that was put forth by investigators from the Center for Medical Progress," he said. "Planned Parenthood has engaged in an aggressive public relations campaign to convince the public that videos released by the Center for Medical Progress were 'hoaxed' and that Planned Parenthood never profited from the sale of fetal remains. Now we all can see for ourselves that this was a bold-faced lie. Planned Parenthood should be prosecuted for their crimes. They must not be held above the law."
The Select Panel exhibits were accompanied by a white paper on the pricing of fetal tissue produced by congressional staff members. The white paper explains how all of the costs of tissue procurement were absorbed by the organ procurement companies, such as Stem Express, and that Planned Parenthood essentially incurred no costs.
The documentation also shows that Planned Parenthood clinics were awarded $10,000 contract signing bonuses by one procurement company that were disguised as donations. Those bonuses were in addition to money paid for POCs—"products of conception," the term Planned Parenthood uses to dehumanize the aborted baby tissue—and blood samples.
For example, four Planned Parenthood clinics in California were paid more than $11,000 in August 2012 for 171 "POCs" and 196 blood samples harvested at their facilities. A review of a tissue procurement company's website shows a list of organs that were available for sale, including brains, hearts, livers, glands and even scalps.
The Center for Medical Progress, Operation Rescue and the Select Panel all agree these organs had to be procured from abortion facilities like Planned Parenthood.
"Now you do not have to be a lawyer to see what's going on here," Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), Chairman of the Select Panel, said. "You put up a website that offers any baby body part imaginable—and why on earth do they need a baby scalp? Then you pick the gestation period and then check out."
Newman said the answer to Blackburn's question is "grisly."
"Tissue wasn't just being used for 'medical' research but by commercial entities for the use in the development of products for sale to the public," he said. "The male hair growth industry is a very lucrative one."

How Planned Parenthood Hid Their Profit-Making Atrocities - OPERATION RESCUE CHARISMA NEWS

How Planned Parenthood Hid 
Their Profit-Making Atrocities 

2/3/2016 OPERATION RESCUE  CHARISMA NEWS








The Center for Medical Progress has released a new video detailing how Planned Parenthood used bogus line-item entries to hide profits from the sale of aborted baby remains.
The video focuses on invoices obtained by Operation Rescue's Texas attorney Briscoe Cain through Freedom of Information Act requests, and it connects the dots to Planned Parenthood's duplicitous book-keeping scheme with clips from the CMP's undercover investigation at the Houston Planned Parenthood, one of the largest volume late-term abortion facilities in the country.
"The invoices clearly show how Planned Parenthood padded invoices in such a way as to hide the fact they were making illegal profits," said Operation Rescue Senior Vice President Cheryl Sullenger. "This is not only hard evidence that Planned Parenthood broke the law, but also shows that The Harris County grand jury indicted the wrong people."
A Harris County Grand Jury recently indicted CMP leader David Daleiden and his associate, Susan Merritt, who conducted the on-site undercover sting in Houston. While the same grand jury is said to have "cleared" Planned Parenthood, Operation Rescue has uncovered evidence that bias in the office of District Attorney Devon Anderson tainted the process and turned the investigation against the whistle-blowers who reported evidence of Planned Parenthood's obvious criminal conduct.
Daleiden and Merritt will turn themselves in at the Harris County Courthouse on Thursday when a press conference by national leaders will present over 100,000 signatures calling on Anderson to drop the charges against Daleiden and Merritt.
A coalition of pro-life leaders, including Sullenger of Operation Rescue, plan to present over 100,000 signatures to Harris County District Attorney Devon Anderson after a press conference also Thursday morning.
Operation Rescue President Troy Newman served as a founding Board Member for the Center for Medical Progress. He, along with Daleiden and others, have been sued in a San Francisco Federal Court by Planned Parenthood and the National Abortion Federation, who are attempting to use the courts to silence the evidence against them and deflect public attention from their own wrongdoing.
"We call on District Attorney Devon Anderson to resign due to her inability to conduct her duties without bias," said Sullenger. "We also call for all charges to be dropped against Daleiden and Merritt and for special prosecutors to reopen the Planned Parenthood and Karpen cases."
Houston abortionist Douglas Karpen was accused by former employees of murdering babies who were born alive during late-term abortions, but was "cleared" by another Anderson grand jury in 2013. Karpen was represented by attorney Chip Lewis, who is a personal friend of Anderson's and is her largest political donor. Lewis recently indicated he has improper inside knowledge of both grand juries.

10th Planned Parenthood Video: 'Oh My God! Everything We Provide Is Fresh'


10th Planned Parenthood Video: 'Oh My God, Gonads! Everything We Provide Is Fresh'


Join us on our podcast each weekday for an interesting story, well told, from Charisma News. Listen at charismapodcastnetwork.com.

The fourth episode in a new documentary web series and 10th video by The Center for Medical Progress features several top-level Planned Parenthood executives discussing the organization's secretive practices around aborted fetal parts harvesting.
The video includes comments from Deborah VanDerhei, the national director of the organization's Consortium of Abortion Providers, describing the harvesting of fetal body parts as "donation for remuneration."
The "Human Capital" documentary web series, produced by The Center for Medical Progress, integrates expert interviews, eyewitness accounts, and real-life undercover interactions to explore different themes within Planned Parenthood's sale of aborted fetal tissue. Episode 4, "Planned Parenthood Federation of America's Criminal Enterprise," launched this week.
The video highlights conversations with Dr. Carolyn Westhoff, senior medical adviser for PPFA; Dr. Vanessa Cullins, vice president for External Medical Affairs for PPFA; and Deborah VanDerhei, national director for the Consortium of Abortion Providers (CAPS) at PPFA.
"We've just been working with people who want particular tissues, like, you know, they want cardiac, or they want eyes, or they want neural," says Westhoff to a prospective fetal organ buyer. "Certainly, everything we provide—oh, gonads! Oh my God, gonads. Everything we provide is fresh." Westhoff continues, "Obviously, we would have the potential for a huge P.R. issue in doing this," before offering to introduce the buyers to "national office abortion people" from Planned Parenthood.
VanDerhei is the national director for CAPS, an influential committee within Planned Parenthood that drives abortion policy across the organization. VanDerhei refers to payments for fetal tissue as "donation for remuneration," which carries the connotation of financial reward or benefit without regard for actual expenses. VanDerhei explains, "I have been talking to the executive director of the National Abortion Federation, we're trying to figure this out as an industry, about how we're going to manage remuneration, because the headlines would be a disaster."
"Is this really worth getting—I don't even know what in general, what a specimen generally brings in?" VanDerhei later asks a prospective buyer. When she is told $100 per specimen, she remarks, "But we have independent colleagues who generate a fair amount of income doing this."
VanDerhei suggests that Planned Parenthood goes to great lengths to avoid leaving a paper trail about their fetal tissue activity: "It's an issue that you might imagine we're not really that comfortable talking about on email."
In a conversation recorded between VanDerhei and Vanessa Russo, Compliance Program Administrator for Planned Parenthood Keystone in Pennsylvania, Russo argues, "A company like this that wants to give our organization money for the tissue—I think that that's a valid exchange, and that that's okay."
VanDerhei nods her head up and down and affirms, "Mhm."
The sale or purchase of human fetal tissue is a federal felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison or a fine of up to $500,000 (42 U.S.C. 289g-2).
Vanessa Cullins, the vice president of External Medical Affairs, seems fully aware of the criminal exposure that fetal body parts sales present to Planned Parenthood: "This is important. This could destroy your organization and us, if we don't time those conversations correctly," she tells a prospective buyer.
Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion provider in the country, responsible for 327,000 abortions every year, and receives $528 million in taxpayer money each year. "From email black-outs to contorted oxymorons like 'donation for remuneration,' the lengths to which Planned Parenthood leadership will go to cover-up their illegal sale of aborted baby parts are nothing less than the desperation of a guilty conscience," notes David Daleiden, Project Lead for CMP.
"Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards openly admits they receive '$60 per tissue specimen,' and their contracts with StemExpress offer payments per fetus 'determined in the clinic to be usable.' Planned Parenthood runs their abortion and baby parts business in open disregard for the law and should be prosecuted immediately. Their taxpayer funding should be reassigned to Federally Qualified Health Centers, which provide more and comprehensive health services at locations outnumbering Planned Parenthood 20 to 1."

Planned Parenthood Vendor: Intact Fetuses 'Just Fell Out'

Planned Parenthood Vendor: 

Intact Fetuses 'Just Fell Out'

It's the ninth in a series of pro-life videos and it focuses on a Planned Parenthood baby parts vendor, Advanced Bioscience Resources, Inc. (ABR).
The undercover video from the Center for Medical Progress features Perrin Larton, the Procurememnt Manager for ABR, and Cate Dyer, the CEO of StemExpress, which is ABR's rival company.
"I literally have had women come in and they'll go in the O.R. and they're back out in 3 minutes, and I'm going, 'What's going on?' Oh yeah, the fetus was already in the vaginal canal whenever we put her in the stirrups, it just fell out," Larton explains in the video, describing situations where enough degree of cervical dilation has happened to procure an intact fetus.
When the first of the undercover videos surfaced, Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards denied the abortion giant received any profit off of abortions.
"There are no financial benefits to the clinic," she said on an ABC News. "Absolutely. Look, we look forward to the facts coming out."
Then, in an August 27 letter to Congress, Richards admitted that ABR pays Planned Parenthood $60 "per tissue specimen."
"We now know from Cecile Richards' letter that $60 per collected tissue specimen is what will 'get a toe in' to harvest baby parts at Planned Parenthood Pacific Southwest," CMP Project Lead David Daleiden wrote.
Multiple tissue specimens can come from a single fetus, and $60 per specimen can quickly add up to hundreds of extra dollars in revenue per abortion.
In a statement on Tuesday, Planned Parenthood officials called on the Center for Medical Progress to share the unedited full-length version of the ninth video.
"The video released today is not about Planned Parenthood. Staff from two independent health care firms that work with medical providers and research institutions appear to discuss their policies and practices," Eric Ferrero, vice president of communication at the Planned Parenthood Federation of America said. "Multiple times in this video, staff from independent health care firms appear to say that Planned Parenthood is not interested in any financial gain and adheres to ethical standards."
"In the twisted world of baby parts trafficking from Planned Parenthood abortion clinics, there are few unbroken rules," Daleiden said.
The sale or purchase of human fetal tissue is a federal felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison or a fine of up to $500,000.
"After the serious admissions in Planned Parenthood's letter to Congress last week, it is imperative for lawmakers and law enforcement to act decisively to determine the full extent of Planned Parenthood and their proxies' lawbreaking, hold them accountable, and stop the taxpayer funding of these barbaric atrocities against humanity," he said.

P. Parenthood Letter Reveals Baby Tissue Secrets


P. Parenthood Letter Reveals Baby Tissue Secrets

Planned Parenthood officials have written a letter to Congress, defending their practice of selling aborted baby body parts.

The nation's biggest abortion provider is trying to push back against several congressional investigations that have begun in the wake of a series of stunning undercover videos released by the Center for Medical Progress.

In the letter, Planned Parenthood claims they obey all laws, and they admit they are "proud to have a role in fetal tissue research."

But the American Center for Law and Justice said the letter exposes nine shocking practices at Planned Parenthood.

For example, Planned Parenthood finally admits that abortion is a "core" service, something watchdog groups have known for years.

And they acknowledge that nearly 20 percent of affiliates, possibly 100 sites, have been involved in selling baby body parts over the last five years.

The abortion company also admits to receiving "$60 per tissue specimen," which can quickly add up when a baby is dissected and his or her organs are sold.

They also claim that federal law requiring consent for fetal tissue donations is "not applicable" to them.

"The federal rules relating to consent and timing and method of abortion when the donated tissue is used for federally funded fetal transplantation research are therefore not applicable to any recent fetal tissue donations in the United States," the letter states.

ACLJ counsel Matthew Clark says Planned Parenthood believes it has figured out a legal loophole "to exploit the bodies of the babies it has killed for financial gain at the expense of the health and safety of the women in the hands of its supposed 'care.'"

"Planned Parenthood is boldly asserting that federal law requiring the informed consent of the woman and requiring no alteration in the timing and method (how the abortion is performed) is 'not applicable' to Planned Parenthood," Clark writes.

P. Parenthood Protests Expose 'Evil in Our Midst'

P. Parenthood Protests Expose 'Evil in Our Midst'



The undercover video scandal exposing the sale of baby body parts caused pro-life groups across the nation to take the streets last weekend to protest Planned Parenthood. But did the protests make a difference?

National Director of Priests for Life Father Frank Pavone believes they did. He took time to thank and encourage the tens of thousands of people in hundreds of cities across America who took a stand against the abortion giant in a national day of protest.

"I just wanted to take a moment to thank each and every one of you who took part in this nationwide series of protests," he told participants.

"There's a voice of protest inside of us against the atrocities of abortion and Planned Parenthood. And I want to thank you for having let that voice inside of you come outside to the public," he said.

"And we are having these rallies, brothers and sisters, because there is an evil in our midst. There's an evil in our midst that must be exposed, that has been exposed, that is being exposed, and that will be exposed further," he said.

Pro-life groups hope the latest undercover videos released by the Center for Medical Progress exposing the harvesting of baby body parts and the recent nationwide protests will influence Congress when lawmakers return in September.

"We know that this is the body of a child," Father Pavone continued. "We know that this is the body of a person, and you don't kill the person, nor do you sell the body. And that's why we're here, and that's why we're in some 330 locations this morning because we are exposing the evil to the light of day. So many of our fellow citizens -- they haven't even heard about this yet."

The protesters, along with many others across the country, want to see Planned Parenthood investigated. Their immediate request, however, is for Congress to stop sending the organization half a billion dollars a year in taxpayer money.

Pavone believes the protests were a success.

"You're an encouragement to the entire pro-life movement, all those who are following these, these news stories but could not go out themselves," he said. "They have heard and will continue to hear of the great results, and you were part of that. You encouraged the movement."

It seems clear that movement is not backing down.

Judge: Videos on Fetal Parts Trafficking Legal


Judge: Videos on Fetal Parts Trafficking Legal


Following a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge ruling that the Center for Medical Progress has a constitutional right to release undercover videos on the trafficking of baby body parts, CMP released another video plus a trailer of those to come.

The latest video shows the CEO of StemExpress, the company that purchased aborted babies from Planned Parenthood, laughing about how her lab technicians were shocked when they received fully intact aborted babies.

"Tell the lab it's coming, and they open the box and go, 'Oh God!" StemExpress CEO Cate Dyer says in the video.



Dr.Deborah Nucatola, Planned Parenthood director of Medical Services, talked about the demand for fetal organs.

"Yesterday was the first time she said people wanted lungs," Nucatola explains. "And then, like I said, always as many intact livers as possible."

In CMP's newest video, Planned Parenthood Research Director Melissa Farrell talks about providing intact baby cadavers for harvesting internal organs.

"So, if we alter our process and we are able to obtain intact fetal cadavers...it's all just a matter of line items," Farrell explains.

CMP suggests those "line items" apparently mean greater profit for Planned Parenthood.

In an undercover video released in July, Dr. Mary Gatter says, laughing, "We agreed that $100 would keep you happy? I want a Lamborghini. I said I want a Lamborghini. Don't we all, right?"

The buying and selling of human fetal tissue is a violation of federal law.

While LA Superior Court Judge Joanne O'Donnell has allowed the public release of the undercover videos, a StemExpress violation of privacy lawsuit against CMP will move forward.

WATCH: Fourth Planned Parenthood Video Reveals Some of the Most Disturbing Footage Yet




Join us on our new podcast each weekday for an interesting story, well told, from Charisma News. Listen at charismapodcastnetwork.com.


Editor's Note: This content is graphic. Please use your discernment when watching the video.
The revelation that Planned Parenthood was selling fetal tissue that abortionists avoided "crushing" was sickening.
But the atrocities have grown as more videos are released from the Center for Medical Progress.
In the fourth video, undercover "buyers" ask about receiving "intact specimens" from second-trimester abortions. 
Dr. Savita Ginde tells the buyers that less than 10 percent of the tissue is totally intact, unless someone delivers before the abortion can be completed. 
And then: "Oh, look, here (are) some organs for you. They're all attached. Here's a stomach, heart, kidney, adrenal ... I don't know what else is in there."
Watch the video to see what other horrendous acts the abortion giant is doing through the sale of unborn children.
