PLANNED PARENTHOOD HEADQUARTERS SEEKS $1,500 “FINANCIAL INCENTIVE” PER ABORTED FETAL LIVER IN NEW FULL UNDERCOVER VIDEO

NEW YORK CITY, Jul. 30—Newly-released undercover footage Planned Parenthood sought to block for 8 years shows the Abortion Services Director from the organization’s New York City headquarters admitting that a “financial incentive” to supply livers from late-term aborted babies “to the people we have to get this approved from, will be very happy about it.”
In the footage, filmed at the National Abortion Federation’s 2015 commercial tradeshow, an undercover reporter posing as a laboratory wholesaler tells Planned Parenthood New York City’s Abortion Services Director, Dr. Stacey 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.”
The undercover reporter, from The Center for Medical Progress, asks Dr. De-Lin to confirm, “Right, the financial incentive would make people happy, is that what I’m hearing you saying?”
Dr. De-Lin giggles excitedly and replies, “Yes, absolutely!”
The transfer of any human fetal tissue for valuable consideration is a federal felony, punishable by up to 10 years in prison or a fine of up to $500,000 (42 U.S.C. 289g-2).
During the full conversation, Dr. De-Lin also admits that her Planned Parenthood headquarters performs intact dilation and evacuation (D&E) abortions, where the abortion provider uses forceps to pull the baby out of the mother in one piece, on fetuses up to 6 months of pregnancy. When the CMP undercover reporter tells Dr. De-Lin, “We can pay incredible amounts for intact specimens,” Dr. De-Lin asks, “Yeah, so like you mean completely intact D&E?”
“Not all, but yes, but some,” the reporter replies.
“Yeah, I mean, that’s just like a case-by-case basis,” Dr. De-Lin admits, and goes on to confirm, “But we certainly do intact D&Es, so.”
“You do?” asks the reporter, and Dr. De-Lin replies, “Yeah.”
“Intact D&E” of a living fetus, according to the U. S. Supreme Court, is a violation of the federal partial-birth abortion law (18 U.S.C. 1531). In previous undercover footage released by CMP, Dr. Deborah Nucatola—then Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s Senior Director of Medical Services, who also practiced at PPNYC—confirmed that the New York center does not use feticidal chemicals to kill the fetuses before the abortions.
“This undercover footage proves Planned Parenthood sells baby parts from partial-birth abortions in violation of federal law,” notes David Daleiden, founder and project lead at CMP. “As Attorney General of California, Kamala Harris weaponized the powers of her office to cover up Planned Parenthood’s sale of aborted baby body parts. Attorney General Harris raided my home and seized this footage to try to block it from release for eight years, on orders from Planned Parenthood and the National Abortion Federation. Now everyone can see why they did it—the remaining undercover videos are too incriminating to explain away.”
In 2015, the National Abortion Federation, stating it was representing institutional member Planned Parenthood, sought and received a federal injunction against the release of the footage in San Francisco federal court. At the same time, Planned Parenthood requested then-California Attorney General Kamala Harris’ office to seize from Daleiden the digital media containing the videos. Two weeks after a March 2016 meeting with top Planned Parenthood California officials implicated in the videos, AG Harris’ office conducted the raid on Daleiden’s home.
However, Congress had also subpoenaed the footage from CMP in late 2015. In May of this year, the San Francisco District Court finally ruled that CMP cannot be prevented from republishing any of the subpoenaed footage released by Congress. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene held a hearing in March with Rep. Mary Miller and Rep. Chip Roy on “Investigating the Black Market of Baby Organ Harvesting”, during which she played clips from the subpoenaed footage publicly for the first time. Rep. Greene released a Hearing Addendum earlier today with the full footage of the conversations.
The Center for Medical Progress is the non-profit citizen journalism organization responsible for the 2015 undercover video series showing top Planned Parenthood officials negotiating the harvesting and sale of aborted fetal body parts.
