WASHINGTON, D.C., March 21—Previously censored undercover footage of Planned Parenthood abortion officials, played for the first time in a Congressional hearing on Tuesday, shows leadership from the nation’s largest abortion provider admitting the “financial incentive” to sell aborted fetal body parts and describing how to mutilate fetal bodies to hide violations of the federal partial-birth abortion law.

The video clips are from unreleased undercover footage subpoenaed from The Center for Medical Progress by the House Oversight Committee in late 2015. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene played the clips publicly for the first time at a Congressional hearing with Rep. Chip Roy and Rep. Mary Miller on “Investigating the Black Market of Baby Organ Harvesting.”

In one clip, a CMP undercover reporter tells Planned Parenthood New York City’s Medical Director for Abortion Services, Dr. Stacy De-Lin, “We could pay you $1,000, up to $1,500 for a liver.” Dr. De-Lin replies enthusiastically, stating, “Yeah, that’s great,” and, “I think a financial incentive from you guys like, to the people we have to get this approved from, will be very happy about it.”

In another clip, Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Ann Schutt-Aine, describes how she can mutilate the body of a baby being delivered alive in a late-term abortion to try to hide a violation of the federal partial-birth abortion law in order to provide the rest of the body whole for more organ sales: “If I’m seeing that I’m in fear that it’s about to come to the umbilicus [navel], I might ask for a second set of forceps to hold the body at the cervix and pull off a leg or two, so it’s not PBA [partial-birth abortion].” In another clip, PPGC’s Vice President of Abortion Access, Tram Nguyen, describes how fetuses can be delivered missing only an arm: “[O]ther days it’s [the fetus is] like more intact where it’s like maybe only like an arm that’s disarticulated”.

In another clip played at the hearing, a National Abortion Federation sponsor, Connie Cantrell of Cedar River Clinics, tells CMP investigators about her clinic’s business with fetal organ wholesaler StemExpress: “I just went into this, and it was very good. And now we’ve gone through our first year, I mean, I was looking at numbers of $250,000 a year.”

In another clip, Dr. Uta Landy, the national director of Planned Parenthood’s abortion training programs, the Ryan Residency Training Program and the Fellowship in Complex Family Planning, reads out quotes from trainees about the psychological trauma of performing dismemberment abortions to an audience of several hundred late-term abortion providers. “My coping mechanism is to focus on the baby/fetus. Reverence for something that was once alive and now it’s not.” When Dr. Landy quotes another trainee, “An eyeball just fell down into my lap, and that is gross,” the audience erupts in laughter and applause.

CMP provided the footage to Congress under subpoena in 2015, and has never released it previously, due to a federal injunction against CMP’s release of it granted to Planned Parenthood and the National Abortion Federation by San Francisco Judge William Orrick III, who helped open, operate, and fund a Planned Parenthood abortion referral clinic prior to being appointed to the federal bench.

These video clips from the subpoenaed congressional footage are just a small part of incredibly disturbing and incriminating undercover conversations that prove Planned Parenthood sells baby parts,” notes David Daleiden, founder and president of CMP. “Planned Parenthood and their allies tried to cover up this footage for eight years, because of the brutal facts it reveals about their taxpayer-funded business to kill and sell vulnerable infants.
