New Video Shows
Another Planned Parenthood Doctor Haggling Price of Baby Body Parts
by Austin Ruse21 Jul 2015
In the second video released today by the Center for
Medical Progress, yet another senior medical adviser to Planned Parenthood of America appears to negotiate the price of
selling baby body parts to actors playing entrepreneurs from a start-up biotech
firm.
Second Planned
Parenthood Senior Executive Haggles Over Baby Parts Prices, Changes Abortion
Methods
Dr. Mary Gatter, President of Planned Parenthood’s Medical
Director’s Council, is asked, “What would you expect for intact tissue?”
Gatter starts to haggle immediately, “Why don’t you start by
telling me what you’re used to paying?”
When pushed for a number, Gatter says, “Well, you know in
negotiations the person who throws out the figure first is at a loss, right?
So…”
When pushed again for how much her Planned Parenthood
affiliate is willing to sell baby body parts for, she responds, “Okay, $75.”
When the buyer tells her that number seems low Gatter
responds, “I was going to say $50.”
Then the buy offers her $100 to which Gatter quickly
responds, “Okay.”
After the first video was released last week in which Dr.
Deborah Nucatola also appears to negotiate the price of fetal body parts,
Planned Parenthood insisted that the price Nucatola mentioned was only related
to the costs incurred by Planned Parenthood with no profit involved. In the
Nucatola video, however, she is seen and heard explaining that the Planned
Parenthood affiliates in the body parts business wanted to do more than
“break even.”
In this second video, shot in February at a restaurant in
Pasadena, Gatter seems willing to accept a higher and higher price.
What’s more, in the beginning of the video, she talks about
an earlier situation where a company called Novogenix used to come to her
abortion clinic to buy specimens: “Heather, a Novogenix person would come to
the site and our staff would sign the patients up and get consent. And then
Heather would look at the tissue and take what she required. So logistically
it was very easy for us. We didn’t have to do anything.” (emphasis added)
This statement would seem to contradict the need of a higher
and higher price for doing nothing except letting a technician from another
company come into the facility and take specimens. While she seems willing to
accept higher prices, Gatter does claim Planned Parenthood is “not in it
for the money” and they do not want to appear to be selling body parts.
At the end of the video, like Nucatola, Gatter talks about
changing the abortion technique to get intact specimens, changing from a rather
violent suction method that would destroy tissue to what she calls an IPAS,
which is a reference to a nonprofit company that makes and distributes “manual
vacuum aspirators” which would be a less harmful way to get at the internal
organs. She said there would be protocol issues with the patient but that she
saw no problem with it. She calls it a “less crunchy” way to get intact organs.
At the end of the tape provided by CMP, Gatter jokes about
wanting “a Lamborghini” for body parts.
This new video will no doubt stoke the fires that are now
burning in Congress and in states around the country in response to the first
undercover Planned Parenthood video. Already two committees in the House and
Senate have called for investigations of the abortion giant, along with five
state governments.
The sale or purchase of human fetal tissue is a felony
punishable by up to 10 years in prison or a fine of up to $500,000 (42 U.S.C.
289g-2).
CMP’s Project Lead David Daleiden said, “Planned
Parenthood’s top leadership had admitted they harvest aborted baby parts and
receive payments for this. Planned Parenthood’s only denial is that they make
money off of baby parts, but that is a desperate lie that becomes more and more
untenable as CMP reveals their business operations and statements that prove
otherwise.”
Federal law does allow for body parts to be donated and for
basic expenses to be recouped, including expenses related to “reasonable
payments associated with the transportation, implantation, processing,
preservation, quality control, or storage of human fetal tissue.” Putting aside
the grisly business of buying and selling organs harvested from unborn babies,
it seems increasingly likely that Planned Parenthood is going to have to
explain how the prices sited by both Nucatola and now Gatter fit in with such
“reasonable payments,” and they’re going to have to explain it in front of
legislative committees and perhaps even prosecutors and attorneys general.

Google's Eric Schmidt talks about how to run the world...
Despite its famous motto of
"Don't be evil," there are some in the dark corners of the Web who
speculate that Google's real plan is to take over the world. Google Watch features headlines such as
"Google Must be Stopped," and "Is Google God?" The site Google World Domination even has a
countdown clock, which indicates that the Skynet-type moment when we will all
be slaves to the mighty Google algorithms will take place in roughly 6 years
and 192 days. (Interestingly, the site, which includes a creepy video, features
ads by Google,
demonstrating how insidious that plot actually might be).
With that type of speculation out
there, it's news any time a Google executive talks about running the world.
And that's exactly what Google
Chief Executive Eric Schmidt did today, sort of.
He didn't say that Google wanted
to run the world. But he did offer an interesting suggestion to a crowd of
power players in Washington about the best way to do it: Just like Google.
"It is possible to build a
culture around innovation. It is possible to build a culture around leadership.
And it is possible to build a culture around optimism. Google is an example,
but by no means the only example, of a culture that can be built based on
relatively scalable principles. We could run our country this way. We could run
the world this way."
It was meant to be an inspiring
moment ...
...as Schmidt
wrapped up a speech to the Economic
Club of Washington during a luncheon in a
packed ballroom at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. Click here

The appearance was a homecoming
of sorts for Schmidt. Vernon E.
Jordan Jr., the club's president and a former
President Clinton advisor, noted that Schmidt was born a few blocks away from
the hotel at George Washington University Hospital, and grew up in the Northern
Virginia suburbs. His mother, Ellie Schmidt, was in the audience.
