The Center for Medical Progress (CMP) has released its 12th undercover video that purportedly shows a Planned Parenthood medical director in Orange County, California talking about ways to get fully intact aborted babies for a biotech company.
According to CMP, the video shows Jennefer Russo discussing efforts to secure a "whole specimen" for Da Vinci Biosciences upon the latter's request, a day before the U.S. Supreme Court hears a case on abortion regulations, WND reported.
Russo was filmed on Feb. 27 during which an actor posed as a representative of a foetal tissue procurement company. In the video, Russo was asked if she delivers whole bodies or uses techniques to increase the probability of success in getting intact babies.
"It happens sometimes, but it's pretty rare. But, we try," said Russo, adding that ultrasound-guided methods are used to turn babies feet-first in the womb, which increases the chance of getting an intact "specimen."
"The fact that a community like Orange County, California, is open for business for baby body parts makes clear the need for law enforcement and elected officials to hold Planned Parenthood accountable," said David Daleiden, CMP Project Lead, according to LifeSite News. "And as the Supreme Court prepares to hear a landmark abortion business regulation case, Planned Parenthood's baby parts scheme sends an urgent message about the critical need for states to have strong regulatory authority over the abortion industry."
The U.S. Supreme Court began hearing Whole Woman's Health v. Hellerstedt on Wednesday about a Texas law requiring doctors performing abortions to have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of the facility.
"Although Planned Parenthood's political and PR cronies work overtime to cover-up the revelations of its illicit baby parts trade, Planned Parenthood's interstate criminal scheme to harvest and sell aborted baby parts continues without any transparency or accountability," Daleiden said.
According to CMP, invoices showed that Da Vinci charges $350 for foetal liver, $500 for foetal thymus and $750 for foetal brain.
In one of CMP's earlier videos, Planned Parenthood's Mary Gatter was shown blithely joking, "I want a Lamborghini" while talking about payment for procuring body parts of unborn babies.
The earlier videos also showed Melissa Farrell of Planned Parenthood's Houston clinic discussing "intact foetal cadavers" and a former Planned Parenthood worker saying she tapped an aborted infant's heart and saw it start beating.
One of the videos also showed Cate Dyer, CEO of Stem Express, admitting that Planned Parenthood sells fully intact aborted babies.
Planned Parenthood filed a lawsuit against CMP regarding the undercover videos, and a Texas grand jury indicted Daleiden and Sandra Merritt last Jan. 25.
