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.

The second episode in a new documentary web series highlights a young woman's eyewitness narrative of the daily practice of fetal body parts harvesting in Planned Parenthood abortion clinics, describing tissue procurement, workers' coordination with abortion providers, the pressure placed on patients, and disregard for patient consent.

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 various themes connected to Planned Parenthood's sale of aborted fetal tissue. Episode 1, "Planned Parenthood's Black Market in Baby Parts," premiered last month. Episode 2, "Inside the Planned Parenthood Supply Site," launched this week.

The series follows the personal narrative of Holly O'Donnell, a former Blood and Tissue Procurement Technician for StemExpress, a start-up biotech company from northern California that partners with Planned Parenthood clinics to purchase their aborted fetus parts and resell them for scientific experimentation. As a procurement tech, O'Donnell's job was to identify pregnant patients matching the specifications of StemExpress customers and to harvest the fetal body parts from their abortions.

"It's not an option, it's a demand," StemExpress supervisors instructed O'Donnell about approaching pregnant women at Planned Parenthood for fetal tissue "donations." O'Donnell says the StemExpress techs working in Planned Parenthood clinics sometimes harvested fetal parts without obtaining consent from the patients: "If there was a higher gestation, and the technicians needed it, there were times when they would just take what they wanted. And these mothers don't know. And there's no way they would know."

Federal laws on the procurement and use of human fetal tissue require that patients consent to the tissue donation subsequent to consenting to the abortion procedure (42 U.S.C. 289g-1).

According to O'Donnell, Planned Parenthood gave StemExpress workers access to patient records and schedules so that the harvesting company could plan for the days when patient "supply" would be greatest. "They give you a sheet, and it's everybody for that day, who's coming in for an ultrasound, who's coming in for an abortion, medical or a late-term abortion," O'Donnell explains. Even patients just seeking a pregnancy test at Planned Parenthood were considered part of the supply: "Pregnancy tests are potential pregnancies, therefore potential specimens. So it's just taking advantage of the opportunities."

Project Lead David Daleiden notes, "Experiences like Holly O'Donnell's show that Planned Parenthood's abortion and baby parts business is not a safe place where vulnerable women can be cared for, but a harvesting ground for saleable human 'product.' Taxpayer subsidies to Planned Parenthood's barbaric abortion business should be revoked immediately, and law enforcement and other elected officials must act decisively to determine the full extent of Planned Parenthood's offensive practices and hold them accountable to the law."

#WomenBetrayed: Anti-Planned Parenthood Fury Spreads

#WomenBetrayed: Anti-Planned Parenthood Fury Spreads

From protests in America's streets to the halls of Congress, cries to defund Planned Parenthood are growing.

"There's no reason for Planned Parenthood to get any federal money, and basically the things they're doing are unacceptable to a vast majority of people prolife or pro-choice," Rep. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said.

The outcry comes as the prolife group Center for Medical Progress released a third video Tuesday, called Planned Parenthood's Black Market in Baby Parts."

It follows on the heels of two earlier videos by CMP showing top Planned Parenthood officials haggling over the cost of the body parts of aborted babies.

Meanwhile, the nation's largest abortion provider is defending itself, saying the footage in question has been "highly selectively edited."

"The folks behind this, in fact, are part of the most militant wing of the anti-abortion movement that has been behind, you know, the bombing of clinics, the murder of doctors in their homes, and in their churches. And that's what actually needs to be looked at," Planned Parenthood President Cicile Richards said.

Republican presidential hopeful Carly Fiorina said that's no defense, and far from the actual issue.

"This has nothing to do with whether you're prolife or pro-choice," Fiorina said. "This has to do with the moral foundation of our nation."

"If a woman was sitting outside of Planned Parenthood in, for example, her OBGYN's office looking at this ultrasound at precisely the same point in her pregnancy, her doctor would be saying, 'Look at your baby; look at its heart beat; look at its fingers and toes.'"

Under increased scrutiny, it appears Planned Parenthood may also be misrepresenting sponsorship.

Some of the biggest companies they have listed as corporate sponsors deny any association to the abortion provider, according to a Fox News report. Among those companies are Coca-Cola, Ford, and Xerox.

As the controversy continues to grow, protests are planned in more than 50 cities Tuesday.

Demonstrators will be marching under the banner #WomenBetrayed, and will be urging people to demand their states investigate, prosecute, and defund Planned Parenthood.

Planned Parenthood Uses Partial-Birth Abortions to Sell Baby Parts

Planned Parenthood Uses Partial-Birth Abortions to Sell Baby Parts - Video interview

7/14/2015 DAVID DALEIDEN  charisma news

Love For His People Editor's Note: the following video made me sick to listen to what they do to unborn babies.

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

New undercover footage shows Planned Parenthood Federation of America Senior Director of Medical Services Dr. Deborah Nucatola describing how Planned Parenthood sells the body parts of aborted fetuses, and admitting she uses partial-birth abortions to supply intact body parts.

In the video, Nucatola is at a business lunch with actors posing as buyers from a human biologics company. As head of PPFA's Medical Services department, Nucatola has overseen medical practice at all Planned Parenthood locations since 2009. She also trains new Planned Parenthood abortion doctors and performs abortions herself at Planned Parenthood Los Angeles up to 24 weeks.

The buyers ask Nucatola, "How much of a difference can that actually make, if you know kind of what's expected, or what we need?"

"It makes a huge difference," Nucatola replies. "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."

Nucatola explains, "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."

"And with the calvarium, in general, some people will actually try to change the presentation so that it's not vertex," she continues. "So if you do it starting from the breech presentation, there's dilation that happens as the case goes on, and often, the last step, you can evacuate an intact calvarium at the end."

Using ultrasound guidance to manipulate the fetus from vertex to breech orientation before intact extraction is the hallmark of the illegal partial-birth abortion procedure (18 U.S.C. 1531).

Nucatola also reveals that Planned Parenthood's national office is concerned about their liability for the sale of fetal parts: "At the national office, we have a Litigation and Law Department which just really doesn't want us to be the middle people for this issue right now," she says. "But I will tell you that behind closed doors these conversations are happening with the affiliates."

The sale or purchase of human fetal tissue is a federal felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $500,000 (42 U.S.C. 289g-2).

A separate clip shows Planned Parenthood President and CEO Cecile Richards praising Nucatola's work to facilitate connections for fetal tissue collection. "Oh good," Richards says when told about Nucatola's support for fetal tissue collection at Planned Parenthood, "Great. She's amazing."

The video is the first by The Center for Medical Progress in its "Human Capital" series, a nearly 3-year-long investigative journalism study of Planned Parenthood's illegal trafficking of aborted fetal parts. Project Lead David Daleiden notes: "Planned Parenthood's criminal conspiracy to make money off of aborted baby parts reaches to the very highest levels of their organization. Elected officials must listen to the public outcry for Planned Parenthood to be held accountable to the law and for our tax dollars to stop underwriting this barbaric abortion business."
