Planned Parenthood leaders allegedly discuss selling fetal organs in undercover video

WARNING: This story and the embedded video contains graphic content.

WASHINGTON (TND) — Undercover video released by nonprofit group Center for Medical Progress on Thursday allegedly showsleaders within Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast discussing selling organs from aborted fetuses.

The recorded individuals, labeled as Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast leaders, discussed selling individual organs from the fetuses to outside buyers, including livers and lungs. The fetuses can be as old as 6 months, according to those in the video.

The video was captured in 2015 by anti-abortion activist David Daleiden, according to the New York Post. Then-California Attorney General Kamala Harris had investigated Daleiden for releasing similar videos, which drew the ire of pro-life activists, according to Politico.

“You told me about the proposition, and so now, every time I do a [dilation and extraction], I’m like ‘oh, there's some lungs, there’s some kidneys,’” a woman labeled Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast Chief Medical Officer Ann Schutt-Ainé says in the clip.

She goes on to describe how Planned Parenthood workers “play with the tissue,” admitting the practice sounds “morbid at the beginning.”

Some fetuses will become “disarticulated” during the extraction process, Vice President of Abortion Access Tram Nguyen allegedly says in the video.

I'm like 'yeah, I have like a leg for you,' I'm like oh s---, if other people were to hear me, they’d be like ‘you are f------ evil,” she adds.

In a second clip, Schutt-Ainé admits she can extract livers and hearts from fetuses for buyers “without too much difficulty at all.”

“If I can’t get [the fetus] out intact, I can still get you a good sample,” she adds.

Neither Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast nor the Planned Parenthood national branch immediately responded to requests for comment from The National Desk (TND) Thursday. This story will be updated if responses are received.
