A shocking video has emerged that shows a Planned Parenthood doctor discussing the sale of body parts taken from aborted fetuses with who she believes to be potential buyers from a medical company.

Dr. Deborah Nucatola, who has been the Senior Director of Medical Services at Planned Parenthood Federation of America since February of 2009, is seen on camera as she discusses selling hearts, lungs, livers and even the muscles of aborted fetuses.

She also discusses using 'partial-birth abortion' techniques to deliver some of these organs intact.

Actors posed as buyers in an undercover investigation of Planned Parenthood done by The Center for Medical Progress, and they discussed purchasing organs with Dr. Nucatola at a lunch in California in July 2014.



Dr. Nucatola is seen eating a salad and drinking wine as she lists the organs that sell the best, noting that many individuals are looking to purchase livers.

'I would say it’s probably around $30 to $100, depending on the facility and what’s involved,' Dr. Nucatola says of the prices for each organ.

The actors claimed they were from a human biologics company.

'How much of a difference can that actually make, if you know kind of what’s expected, or what we need?' asks one of the actors posing as a potential buyer.

'It makes a huge difference,' says Dr. Nucatola.

'I’d say a lot of people want liver. And for that reason, most providers will do this case under ultrasound guidance, so they’ll know where they’re putting their forceps. We’ve been very good at getting heart, lung, liver, because we know that, so I’m not gonna crush that part, I’m gonna basically crush below, I’m gonna crush above, and I’m gonna see if I can get it all intact ”

'The kind of rate-limiting step of the procedure is calvarium. Calvarium - the head - is basically the biggest part.'

Ultrasound guidance is a technique that is used in legal abortions, but many individuals in the pro-life movement contend that this practice is frequently used for illegal 'partial-birth abortions.'

The term 'partial-term abortion' it should be noted is not one that was coined by medical professionals, but rather the National Right to Life Committee in 1995, and it is not accepted as a medical term by the American Medical Association or the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

It involves removing the entire fetus intact from a woman by dilating the cervix and then delivering the body through the birth canal.

The Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003 that was passed by Congress and signed into law by President George Bush made this practice illegal, and in 2007 the Supreme Court upheld the law in a 5-4 vote.

The law reads; 'Any physician who, in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce, knowingly performs a partial-birth abortion and thereby kills a human fetus shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 2 years, or both.'

Dr. Nucatola continued to detail the extraction process with the actors posing as buyers at her lunch, and how one can make sure not to damage any of the fetal organs during an abortion. 'We’ve been very good at getting heart, lung, liver, because we know that, so I’m not gonna crush that part, I’m gonna basically crush below, I’m gonna crush above, and I’m gonna see if I can get it all intact,' explains Dr. Nucatola to the buyers posing as actors.

'And with the calvarium, in general, some people will actually try to change the presentation so that it’s not vertex.

'So if you do it starting from the breech presentation, there’s dilation that happens as the case goes on, and often, the last step, you can evacuate an intact calvarium at the end.'

The issue of selling fetal organs is then discussed, and the possible problems it presents, to which Dr. Nucatola tells the actors posing as buyers; 'At the national office, we have a Litigation and Law Department which just really doesn’t want us to be the middle people for this issue right now.

'But I will tell you that behind closed doors these conversations are happening with the affiliates.'

The video ends with Cecile Richards praising the work of Dr. Nucatola, calling her 'amazing.'

This section of the video was shot undercover and in passing at the Planned Parenthood gala this past March, and Richards does not acknowledge or speak at all about the sale of fetal organs or acknowledge the conversation Dr. Nucatola had with the actors posed as buyers months earlier.

Richards, the daughter of former Texas Governor Ann Richards, has been the president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America since 2006.

The Center for Medical Progress claims this is the first part of a series exploring the 'illegal trafficking of aborted fetal parts' by Planned Parenthood.

The group says it has been working on this for the past three years.

The Center for Medical Progress is part of the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research, a conservative think tank based in New York City.



'Planned Parenthood’s criminal conspiracy to make money off of aborted baby parts reaches to the very highest levels of their organization,' claims David Daleiden, who is leading the project.

'Elected officials must listen to the public outcry for Planned Parenthood to be held accountable to the law and for our tax dollars to stop underwriting this barbaric abortion business.'

Speaking with DailyMail.com, Daleiden added; 'We have dozens of hours of shocking undercover footage with top-level Planned Parenthood executives and doctors that will be released in the coming days and weeks.'

The Center also posted video of the entire meeting with Dr. Nucatola online, which lasted almost three hours.

Planned Parenthood said in a statement; 'At several of our health centers, we help patients who want to donate tissue for scientific research, and we do this just like every other high-quality health care provider does — with full, appropriate consent from patients and under the highest ethical and legal standards.

'There is no financial benefit for tissue donation for either the patient or Planned Parenthood. In some instances, actual costs, such as the cost to transport tissue to leading research centers, are reimbursed, which is standard across the medical field.

'A well-funded group established for the purpose of damaging Planned Parenthood’s mission and services has promoted a heavily edited, secretly recorded videotape that falsely portrays Planned Parenthood’s participation in tissue donation programs that support lifesaving scientific research.'

PLANNED PARENTHOOD STATEMENT


In health care, patients sometimes want to donate tissue to scientific research that can help lead to medical breakthroughs, treatments and cures for serious diseases. Women at Planned Parenthood who have abortions are no different.

At several of our health centers, we help patients who want to donate tissue for scientific research, and we do this just like every other high-quality health care provider does — with full, appropriate consent from patients and under the highest ethical and legal standards.

There is no financial benefit for tissue donation for either the patient or Planned Parenthood. In some instances, actual costs, such as the cost to transport tissue to leading research centers, are reimbursed, which is standard across the medical field.

A well-funded group established for the purpose of damaging Planned Parenthood’s mission and services has promoted a heavily edited, secretly recorded videotape that falsely portrays Planned Parenthood’s participation in tissue donation programs that support lifesaving scientific research.

Similar false accusations have been put forth by opponents of abortion services for decades. These groups have been widely discredited and their claims fall apart on closer examination, just as they do in this case.

Planned Parenthood exec, fetal body parts subject of controversial video

This is not new ... 1 years ago I discovered that Meryck uses aborted human fetal tissue in their varrica vaccine ( chicken pox ) and refused to have it given to my children. I brought it to our doctors attention. He didn't realize. It can be found on their own web site.

Bobby Jindal Orders Investigation of Planned Parenthood After ‘Gruesome’ Video on Fetal Body Part Sales
Jul. 14, 2015 3:54pm Fred Lucas

After a video appears to have caught a Planned Parenthood national official describing the sale of fetal body parts, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal has asked for an investigation to make sure it isn’t happening in his state.

Jindal, who is seeking the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, ordered the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals to launch the probe.

“Today’s video of a Planned Parenthood official discussing the systematic harvesting and trafficking of human body parts is shocking and gruesome,” Jindal said. “This same organization is seeking to open an abortion clinic in New Orleans.”

The video was released Tuesday by the Center for Medical Progress, a group concerned with medical ethics, and shows Dr. Deborah Nucatola, Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s senior director of medical services, talking to actors she apparently believes are representatives of buyers from a human biologics company.

Jindal formally announced his candidacy for president last month, but is only polling at about 1 percent in most national polls. He believes the Planned Parenthood charge, if true, is serious enough to involve the FBI.

“I have instructed Louisiana’s Department of Health and Hospitals to conduct an immediate investigation into this alleged evil and illegal activity and to not issue any licenses until this investigation is complete,” Jindal said. “I am also asking the FBI to assist DHH in investigating this alleged criminal activity by this organization.”

The selling of the fetal parts would violate a law signed by President Ronald Reagan in 1988.

The video is titled, “Planned Parenthood Uses Partial-Birth Abortions to Sell Baby Parts.” The comments on the video were reportedly made on July 25, 2014.

Nucatola is part of the national group, so the issue is not specific to Louisiana, but could affect Planned Parenthood clinics in any state in the country

President Obama tweeted this yesterday after the news came out about Planned Parenthood selling baby parts illegally.

It’s almost like he’s a complete moron, or something.

This video released yesterday by Planned Parenthood comes in the wake of a condemning undercover recording. The recording, created by the nonprofit Center for Medical Progress, seems to indicate Planned Parenthood’s involvement in the sale of fetal organs.

The president of the organization, Cecile Richards, posted the response video to YouTube to discredit her ‘attackers.’ In the video, Richards says:

“I want to be really clear – the allegation that Planned Parenthood profits in any way from tissue donation is not true.”

She also tweeted:

Cecile Richards ✔ ‎@CecileRichards

Spreading false information is an age-old strategy of people hell-bent on denying women care & shaming them for exercising their rights.

However, Richards took on a much more contrite demeanor when it came to undercover video’s interviewee:

“In the video, one of our staff members speaks in a way that does not reflect [our] compassion. This is unacceptable, and I personally apologize for the staff member’s tone and statements.”

The “staff member” Richards refers to is Dr. Deborah Nucatola, Senior Director of Medical Services for Planned Parenthood, who was recorded casually discussing the sale of body parts, a federal felony.

There's ANOTHER Planned Parenthood Video Out There
... And This One May Be Worst Than The First
by Kathryn Jean Lopez July 21, 2015 8:14 AM

Another day, another undercover video from the Center for Medical Progress: On this latest video, Planned Parenthood’s senior director of medical services talks about “less crunchy technique” for keeping body parts intact during a partial-birth abortion. When negotiating about fetal tissue, she says the price, “has to be big enough that it’s worthwhile for me,” at one point explaining “I want a Lamborghini.”



This is “choice.” Though how many signed up for the moral implications of all this when they saw no other way and just looked away? Looking away isn’t an option anymore.

The pure casualness and callous manner in which she discusses the murdering of innocent babies for profit is pure evil.

Planned Parenthood: We Did 327,653 Abortions in One Year
By Melanie Hunter | July 21, 2015

Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider, performed 327,653 abortions in one year, according to the latest data published in its 2013-2014 report.

From Oct. 1, 2012 to Sept. 30, 2013, Planned Parenthood performed 327,653 abortions. Over the course of those 365 days (or 8,760 hours), that averages out to 898 abortions per day and 37 abortions per hour.

Planned Parenthood has come under increased scrutiny recently after a video surfaced showing its senior director of medical services, Dr. Deborah Nucatola, discussing the harvesting of baby body parts.

Planned Parenthood spokesman Eric Ferrero defended the practice, saying “we help patients who want to donate tissue for scientific research, and we do this just like every other high-quality health care provider does – with full, appropriate consent from patients and under the highest ethical and legal standards.

“In some instances, actual costs, such as the cost to transport tissue to leading research centers, are reimbursed, which is standard across the medical field,” Ferroro said in a statement.

Three Republican-led congressional committees plan to hold hearings on the matter, and several members of Congress, as well as GOP presidential candidates, have called for Planned Parenthood to be defunded.

House Speaker John Boehner has also called on President Barack Obama to condemn and end the practice.

Menu for aborted baby parts from 1999. Thanks to my old friend Jim Finnigan for sending this to me. Grotesque. Time to stop giving taxpayer dollars to the #abortion industry.
