In Fourth Video, Planned Parenthood Executive Says ‘We Don’t Want to Get Called on Selling Fetal Parts Across States’
Kate Scanlon /
Another undercover video of a Planned Parenthood executive describing the sale of fetal organs has been released by the Center for Medical Progress.
The video shows a conversation between actors portraying buyers from a human biologics company and Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains Vice President and Medical Director Dr. Savita Ginde.
>>> Viewers should be aware that the video above is graphic and shows the dissection of aborted fetal body parts.
Ginde also appeared in the video the Center for Medical Progress released on Tuesday.
During her conversation with the actors, Ginde said that “putting it under ‘research’ gives us a little bit of an overhang over the whole thing.”
“In public I think it makes a lot more sense for it to be in the research vein than, I’d say, business venture.”
Ginde added that she wants all the Planned Parenthood affiliates to be “making the same decision.”
Ginde was aware of the potential legal ramifications of the arrangement.
“If you have someone in a really anti [abortion] state who’s going to be doing this for you, they’re probably going to get caught.”
Ginde said that Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains’ lawyer, Kevin Paul, has “got it figured out.”
“He knows that even if, because we talked to him in the beginning, you know, we were like, ‘We don’t want to get called on,’ you know, ‘selling fetal parts across states.’”
“And you feel confident that they’re building those layers?” the buyers asked.
“I’m confident that our legal [department] will make sure we’re not put in that situation,” Ginde said.
The buyers were then taken into the clinic’s pathological laboratory to observe the “quality” of the “specimens” available.
As the buyers observe the dissection of an aborted fetus, Ginde says, “It’s a baby.”
After the dissection, Ginde implied that Planned Parenthood is profiting from the sale of the organs.
“I think a per-item thing works a little better, just because we can see how much we can get out of it,” Ginde said.
In a statement, the Center for Medical Progress’ David Daleiden said:
Elected officials need to listen to the public outcry for an immediate moratorium on Planned Parenthood’s taxpayer funding while the 10 state investigations and three congressional committees determine the full extent of Planned Parenthood’s sale of baby parts.
Planned Parenthood’s recent call for the NIH [National Institutes of Health] to convene an expert panel to ‘study’ fetal experimentation is absurd after suggestions from Planned Parenthood’s Dr. Ginde that ‘research’ can be used as a catch-all to cover-up baby parts sales. The biggest problem is bad actors like Planned Parenthood who hold themselves above the law in order to harvest and make money off of aborted fetal brains, hearts and livers.
On Sunday, Planned Parenthood President and CEO Cecile Richards said in an interview with ABC’s “This Week” that Planned Parenthood does not profit from the sale of fetal tissue.
She said the “highly edited videos, sensationalized videos,” were put forth by a “militant” group “to try to impugn and smear the name of Planned Parenthood.”
“They have zero credibility,” Richards said.
