Another graphic undercover video has just been released by the Center for Medical Progress (CMP) which once again incriminated abortion service provider Planned Parenthood and puts its federal funding further at risk.
In the video, Dr. Savita Ginde, the vice president and medical director of Planned Parenthood in Colorado, is seen casually poking around a petri dish of aborted remains, telling the undercover CMP activist that harvesting foetal tissue is just "research" and not "business."
But at the same time, Ginde talks about how Planned Parenthood can maximise its profit. "I think a per-item thing works a little better, just because we can see how much we can get out of it," she says of the aborted baby.
As she pokes around the petri dish, Ginde then says, "It's a baby." Her medical assistant happily adds, "And another boy!"
The CMP has actually been issued a restraining order by the California Superior Court, which prohibits it from releasing any more footage of the work done in StemExpress, a group that has worked with Planned Parenthood. But a day after the restraining order, they released a video that put the spotlight on Ginde.
CMP is the organisation that discreetly produced the three videos released over the past three weeks exposing the activities of Planned Parenthood, including the harvesting and sale of body parts from aborted babies which are then purchased by StemExpress.
CMP has charged that the payment made by StemExpress to Planned Parenthood for the body parts is a violation of federal law prohibiting the sale and trafficking of human tissues.
Planned Parenthood claims that the payment it receives from StemExpress only covers the costs of the procedure and is within the bounds of the law.
However, the released video footages appeared to show Planned Parenthood employees seeking profit from the transaction.
In the latest video, released Tuesday, Ginde says calling the extraction of baby parts as "research" gives Planned Parenthood more leeway in how it conducts its operation or, in her own words, "gives us a little bit of a, a little sort of overhang over the whole thing."
"Yeah, and in public I think it makes a lot more sense for it to be in the research vein than I'd say the business vein," she adds.
She says it's important for Planned Parenthood partners to be of similar mind regarding the tissue, since some affiliates belong to states that prohibit abortion.
"Because if you have someone in a really anti-state that's going to be doing this for you, they're probably going to get caught," she says.
The doctor is also asked if she ever gets intact specimens, and she answers, "Sometimes, if we get, if someone delivers before we get to see them for a procedure, then we are intact."
At one point in the video, a sound similar to the cracking of a skull is heard, and people in the room begin asking questions such as, "Do they want brain?" and "Do people do stuff with eyeballs?"
The CMP undercover activist notes that the water actually causes the tissue to fall apart, and Ginde replies, "Well you know, a lot of times, especially with the second trimester foetuses, we won't even put water, because it's so big you can put your hand in there and pick out the parts, so I don't think it would be as war-torn."
Fr. Frank Pavone, one of the pro-life leaders behind the release of the undercover videos, told Life Site News that one of their main objectives was to humanise the unborn baby. "When people see and hear terms like 'eyes, livers, hearts' it's like, 'What are we talking about here? This is ghoulish disgusting activity.'"
"When an abortionist dehumanises the baby that he or she is about to kill, the abortionist also dehumanises himself. And this is what we are seeing in these people. We see it in Deborah Nucatola sipping the wine and eating the salad and talking about the body parts," he said.
