Planned Parenthood exec recorded admitting to selling "fetal tissue"

Hopefully this will serve to offer a new angle for thought and discussion on this topic.

(CNN)An anti-abortion group released a controversial online video Tuesday purportedly showing a top official at Planned Parenthood talking about body parts of aborted fetuses. The group contends the video is proof that Planned Parenthood sells organs and tissues, according to a news release from the Center for Medical Progress.

Planned Parenthood says the money discussed on tape had to do with the cost to transport donated tissue.

The advocacy group and provider of reproductive health services and education said that there is nothing unethical going on in the video, and Dr. Deborah Nucatola -- the senior director of medical services at Planned Parenthood Federation of America -- was talking about the organization's participation in tissue donation programs.

There were two versions of the video posted on YouTube -- an eight-minute, 51-second version and a "full" version that is two hours and 42 minutes.

The Center for Medical Progress says the video was shot on July 25, 2014, in a California restaurant over lunch. Two actors pose as employees of a human biologics company.

"Planned Parenthood's criminal conspiracy to make money off of aborted baby parts reaches to the very highest levels of their organization," said David Daleiden, who led the undercover project, in the written statement.

In one part of the video, the doctor tells the undercover actors: "Every provider has had patients who want to donate their tissue, and they absolutely want to accommodate them. They just want to do it in a way that is not perceived as 'This clinic is selling tissue. This clinic is making money off of this.'"

The video then jumps about one minute, according to the time code in the bottom left corner, and one of the actors asks Nucatola about prices.

"OK, so when you are, or the (Planned Parenthood) affiliate is determining what that monetary ... so that it doesn't raise any question of this is what it's about, this is the main, what price range would you ..." the woman asks, her question trailing off.

The doctor answers it would be between $30 and $100 per specimen, with consideration for what facility is used and "what's involved."

She doesn't specifically say that price is for the purchase of the tissue, but the comment troubled bioethicist Art Caplan of New York University, who said after watching the edited version of the video that it sounds like Planned Parenthood might be trying to make a profit.

But in the longer version of the video, Nucatola says: "It just has to do with space issues, are you sending someone there who is going to be doing everything or is their staff going to be doing it, what exactly are they going to be doing, is there shipping involved or is someone coming to pick it up?"

Planned Parenthood said in a statement it makes no profit: "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."

The organization said it takes tissue donations with "full, appropriate consent from patients and under the highest ethical and legal standard."

Selling fetal body parts -- or any body parts -- is against federal law.

I watched the video. It was very disturbing....and sickening.
She should be held by the base of her skull while her legs are removed just above her pelvis...followed by her internal organs...with a backhoe.

The Planned Parenthood "Doctor" must of got her "professional" training at "The Dr Josef Mengele Institute of Sick, Twisted and Torturous Death."

Planned Parenthood's president apologized Thursday for a top official's tone in a controversial video, but she also denied the clip's allegation that her organization profits from tissue donation.

"Our top priority is the compassionate care that we provide. In the video, one of our staff members speaks in a way that does not reflect that compassion. This is unacceptable, and I personally apologize for the staff member's tone and statements," said Cecile Richards, the group's president, in a video out Thursday. "As always, if there is any aspect of our work that can be strengthened, we want to know about it, and we take swift action to address it."

Wow. So if the chick would have not been so casual about selling baby parts then she would have been considered to be acting professional and in good faith with her leadership. Hmm.

The attitude of these people makes the pediatric neonatal ward sound like a lemon lot.

...thank god we have politicians that can intervene in matters like this

The outrage I feel when hearing the savages talk about babies like that can't be expressed. Some of these people would fit in with the ISIS crowd. It is that much more real after having our daughter yesterday. What a crazy world.

The Witch Trials should be re-opened!

I too, am thankful for the God fearing, Constitution loving, fiscally responsible, selfless and honorable politicians. I just know they will do the right thing.
