Planned Parenthood
Official Taped Discussing Sale of Aborted Baby Body Parts
by Austin Ruse 14 Jul 2015
An undercover video shot
last summer by a new pro-life organization called Center for Medical Progress
purports to show the chief medical officer of Planned
Parenthood of America talking on camera about how to abort a child
intact so the child’s body parts can be transferred for medical and scientific
research.
The video was shot by a team led by David Daleiden of the
Center for Medical Progress posing as representatives of a start up biotech
firm in the business of buying fetal body parts for medical and scientific
research. Daleiden told Breitbart News, “It as remarkably easy to make contact
with Planned Parenthood” to discuss procurement of fetal tissue.
The video purports to show, between bites of lunch and sips
of wine, Nucatola saying, “A lot of people want intact hearts these days,
because they are looking for specific nodes.”
She adds: “Yesterday was the first time she said people
wanted lungs. And then, like I said, always as many intact livers as possible.
People just want…some people want lower extremities, too. I mean that’s easy. I
don’t know what they’re doing with it, I guess they want muscle.”
In the 8-minute edited video released today by the Center
for Medical Progress, Nucatola can be seen and heard discussing her ongoing
relationship with another company called StemExpress
that works as a middleman in the buying and selling of fetal tissue, a
process that is legal so long as any moneys exchanged are strictly for expenses
and not for profit.
The video also shows what is purported to be an actual
online order form from Stem Express complete
with a pull-down menu for “brain, heat, heart (veins and arteries attached),
lungs, liver, liver and thymus, spleen, large intestine” and so on. The order
form also specifies the “gestational range” from 4 weeks upwards.
According to Daleiden, the nearly three-hour video was shot
without Nucatola’s knowledge in a California restaurant on July 25 last summer.
The full, unedited video of the encounter published by the Center for Medical
Progress, can be seen here.
In the video Nucatola can be heard saying, “Every provider
had patients who want to donate their tissue, and they absolutely want to
accommodate them. They just want to do it in a way that is not perceived as
‘this clinic is selling tissue, this clinic is making money off of this.’”
She talks about pricing. “You know, I would throw a number
out, and I would say it’s probably anywhere from $30 to $100 [per specimen]
depending on the facility and what’s involved.”
In the video, Nucatola goes into great detail about ordering
specific body parts and how the abortionist goes about ensuring those parts are
not damaged in the abortion. She says the abortionist uses “ultrasound
guidance, so they’ll know where they’re putting their forceps.”
And then she talks about the baby’s head. “The kind of
rate-limiting step is procedure is calvarium. Calvarium — the head — is
basically the biggest part. Most of the other stuff can come out intact.”
Nucatola says the doctor has to be “just kind of cognizant
of where you put your graspers, you try to intentionally go above and below the
thorax, so that, you know, we’ve been very good at getting heart, lung, liver,
because we know that, so I’m not gonna crush that part, I’m going to basically
crush below, and I’m gonna crush above, and I’m gonna see if I can get it all
intact.”
Nucatola explains how the position of the baby can be
changed so that she can be extracted up to the head and then collapse the head
so that all the other body parts can be extracted without damage.
Nucatola explains how to get around the federal ban on
partial birth abortion. “The Federal [Partial Birth] Abortion Ban is a law, and
laws are up to interpretation. So, if I say on day one, I do not intend to do
this, what ultimately happens doesn’t matter.” Partial birth abortions are now
a felony and punishable by up to 2 years in prison and a fine upwards of
$250,000.
Nucatola talks about how the order for parts can change the
way the abortions are done, “For example, so I had 8 cases yesterday. And I
knew exactly what we needed, and I kinda looked at the list and said okay, this
17-weeker has 8 lams, and this one — so I knew which were the cases that were
more probably likely to yield what we needed, and I made my decisions according
to that, too, so its worth having a huddle at the beginning of the day and
that’s what I do.”
Nucatola explains that in order to limit liability Planned
Parenthood’s “litigation and law department…really doesn’t want us to be the
middle people for this issue right now. Because, actually we were approached by
StemExpress to do the same thing” but “it’s too touchy an issue for us to be an
official middleman.”
The video ends with the investigator approaching what the
video claims Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards at Planned Parenthood’s national meeting in
Washington DC last year. He identifies himself as doing “fetal tissue
collection” and says, “Dr. Nucatola has been very helpful this past year.”
Richards says, “Okay, great. Thank you. She’s amazing.”
Breitbart News called Planned Parenthood several times for a
comment, as well as Stem Express. Neither returned calls. Nucatola’s Twitter
feed was taken down this morning. And at least for a while Planned Parenthood’s
media phone number was “out of service.”
According to the US Criminal Code, the buying or selling
human body parts is a federal felony. The commercial traffic of body parts from
an aborted baby is punishable by up to 10 years in prison and/or a fine of up
to $500,000.
Daleiden promises more revelations in the days to come. He
is no stranger to undercover investigations of Planned Parenthood. For five
years he was director of research for Live Action, the group headed by Lila
Rose that has investigated Planned Parenthood for many years.
