A recently publicized undercover video has sparked outrage and controversy, revealing employees of Planned Parenthood discussing the sale of aborted fetal body parts with a disturbing lack of concern.
The footage, which was recorded in 2015 and only recently released, provides a chilling insight into the practices of Planned Parenthood's Houston branch.
As reported by Gateway Pundit, the video was captured by David Daleiden and his team at the Center for Medical Progress (CMP) during a 2015 National Abortion Federation trade show. The release of the footage follows an eight-year legal battle. CMP stated, "This clinic aborted babies up to 6 months and sold them for experiments until the U.S. Supreme Courts ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson ended Planned Parenthoods abortion practice in Texas on June 24th, 2022, saving countless lives."
The video features Dr. Ann Schutt-Ain, Chief Medical Officer of Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast, and Tram Nguyen, RN and Vice President of Abortion Access at Planned Parenthood Houston, discussing the grim details of their procedures. In one particularly unsettling exchange, Schutt-Ain said, You told me about the proposition, and so now every time I do a D&E [dilation and evacuation abortion], Im like, Oh, theres some lungs, theres some kidneys.
The footage also shows Nguyen laughing while recounting a particularly gruesome instance where a fetus was dismembered during an abortion. Im like, Yeah, I have like a leg for you! Im like, oh sh**, if other people were to hear me, theyd be like, you are f***ing evil, Nguyen is heard saying.
The video not only reveals the callous discussions surrounding organ harvesting but also provides details on how medical procedures are manipulated to avoid violating federal partial-birth abortion laws, while still profiting from fetal tissue sales. The Texas branch is described as delivering late-term fetuses intact and alive and mutilating the bodies afterwards to cover up violations of the federal partial-birth abortion law, in conversations about selling fetal body parts.
Schutt-Ain explained, A lot of it has to do with dilation of the mothers cervix, the opening to the uterus. Because when you have good dilation, a cervix thats either well-dilated and/or just softer and more pliable, then as you bring the fetus down, you can get more of it out before disarticulation occurs. Typically, it can take three or four passes of the forceps into the birth canal to get the fetus out. Nguyen added, There are some that are like, I need you to make one more pass, one more pass.
The video also includes Nguyen expressing regret over a rushed procedure on a sixteen-year-old girls baby, saying, We just had to hurry up, whereas other days its more intact, where its like maybe only like an arm thats disarticulated [severed].
Nguyen is also seen mocking the aborted bodies of conjoined twins, saying with contorted hand gestures, I was like its really cool though. Theres like three legs and like two spinal cords. She then jokes about her own perceived evil: Im like, Yeah, I have like a leg for you! Im like, oh sh**, if other people were to hear me, theyd be like, you are f***ing evil.
In a particularly grotesque moment, Schutt-Aine acknowledges that professional abortion providers and their collaborators are aware of the humanity of their victims: I had a patient like sometime in the past few months she wanted footprint, and I had a resident with me that day, and I was like, you know what, Im going to do this procedure because Im going to try and do my best to get these feet out intact.
CMP revealed that a few weeks after this conversation, in June 2015, they emailed Nguyen and Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast VP of Research Melissa Farrell an undercover contract for $750 per fetal liver and $1,600 per pair of fetal liver and thymus. In unsealed emails produced in federal court, Nguyen forwarded the contract to PPGCs Regional Medical & Surgical Services Director, Dyann Santos, writing, FYIwere still trying to move forward with this, to which Santos asked, Do you want to do this? and to which Nguyen replied, Yes maam.
Conservatives have long criticized the practices of Planned Parenthood, accusing the organization of profiting from the sale of aborted baby body parts. The release of this video provides undeniable evidence that these accusations were not just baseless claims but reflect a horrifying reality.
