A Planned Parenthood abortionist who seemed to delight in cutting up unborn babies was the featured character in the latest video footage released by the Center for Medical Progress (CMP) on Monday.

The video shows a jovial Dr. Amna Dermish, an abortionist with Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas, as she talked about her efforts, so far unsuccessfully, in trying to remove the intact "calvarium," or skull, of an unborn baby while preserving both lobes of the brain, according to LifeSiteNews.

She also described to the undercover CMP agents about the way she cuts up babies up to 20 weeks gestation, including two 20-week babies she took out from their mother's womb just the week before.

Dermish said she's hopeful that she will eventually succeed in removing the calivarium (skull) of an aborted child "intact."

The abortionist also explained with no qualms whatsoever how she collects foetal brain and skull specimens.

"If it's a breech presentation [when the baby is born feet first] I will remove the extremities first—the lower extremities—and then go for the spine," she began.

She then slides the baby down the birth canal and then cut its spinal cord.

"I always try to keep the trunk intact," she said. "I don't routinely convert to breech, but I will if I have to."

Converting a child inside the womb to the breech position is the initial step in the partial birth abortion procedure. The procedure was outlawed in 2003, with the violator punishable by up to two years in federal prison and a fine of $250,000.

CMP lead investigator David Daleiden presented the video footage during an interview with Lila Rose on The Blaze TV.

Daleiden told Rose he hoped that congressional investigators would look into the illegal abortion technique being used at Planned Parenthood clinics and the $60-per-specimen fee the national women's healthcare provider collects through its affiliates.

He pointed out that trafficking in human body parts for "valuable consideration" is considered a federal felony carrying a penalty of up to 10 years in prison and a $500,000 fine.

"That would be enough to construct a criminal case against Planned Parenthood," Daleiden said.
