President of PPFA Medical Directors’ Council Mary Gatter Doesn’t Want to “Lowball” Price, Suggests “Less Crunchy” Technique, Says She Wants a Lamborghini

LOS ANGELES, July 21—A second undercover video shows Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s Medical Directors’ Council President, Dr. Mary Gatter, haggling over payments for intact fetal specimens and offering to use a “less crunchy technique” to get more intact body parts.
It is similar to last week’s viral video showing PPFA Senior Director of Medical Services Dr. Deborah Nucatola admitting to using partial-birth abortions to get intact parts and suggesting a price range of $30 to $100 per specimen.
Gatter is a senior official within Planned Parenthood and is President of the Medical Directors’ Council, the central committee of all Planned Parenthood affiliate medical directors.
Actors posing as buyers ask Gatter, “What would you expect for intact [fetal] tissue?”
“Well, why don’t you start by telling me what you’re used to paying!” Gatter replies.
Gatter continues: “You know, in negotiations whoever throws out the figure first is at a loss, right?” She explains, “I just don’t want to lowball,” before suggesting, “$75 a specimen.”
Gatter twice recites Planned Parenthood messaging on fetal tissue collection, “We’re not in it for the money,” and “The money is not the important thing,” but she immediately qualifies each statement with, respectively, “But what were you thinking of?” and, “But it has to be big enough that it’s worthwhile for me.”
Gatter also admits that in prior fetal tissue deals, Planned Parenthood received payment in spite of incurring no cost: “It was logistically very easy for us, we didn’t have to do anything. So there was compensation for this.” She accepts a higher price of $100 per specimen understanding that it will be only for high-quality fetal organs: “Now, this is for tissue that you actually take, not just tissue that someone volunteers and you can’t find anything, right?”
By the lunch’s end, Gatter suggests $100 per specimen is not enough and concludes, “Let me just figure out what others are getting, and if this is in the ballpark, then it’s fine, if it’s still low, then we can bump it up. I want a Lamborghini.”
The sale or purchase of human fetal tissue 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).
Gatter also suggests modifying the abortion procedure to get more intact fetuses: “I wouldn’t object to asking Ian, who’s our surgeon who does the cases, to use an IPAS [manual vacuum aspirator] at that gestational age in order to increase the odds that he’s going to get an intact specimen.”
Gatter seems aware this violates rules governing tissue collection, but disregards them: “To me, that’s kind of a specious little argument.” Federal law requires that no alteration in the timing or method of abortion be done for the purposes of fetal tissue collection (42 U.S.C. 289g-1).
The video, like last week’s featuring Dr. Nucatola, was produced by The Center for Medical Progress and is part of CMP’s nearly 3-year-long investigative journalism study, “Human Capital.”
CMP’s Project Lead David Daleiden notes, “Planned Parenthood’s top leadership admits they harvest aborted baby parts and receive payments for this. Planned Parenthood’s only denial is that they make money off of baby parts, but that is a desperate lie that becomes more and more untenable as CMP reveals Planned Parenthood’s business operations and statements that prove otherwise.”
Seven State Governments have opened investigations into Planned Parenthood’s sale of aborted fetal body parts, as have three Congressional Committees. The House Energy and Commerce Committee has called PPFA’s Senior Director of Medical Services to testify this month about the organization’s fetal tissue harvesting.

Planned Parenthood Uses Partial-Birth Abortions to Sell Baby Parts
EMBARGOED UNTIL 8:00 A.M. ET, 14 JULY 2015
#PPSellsBabyParts PLANNED PARENTHOOD’S TOP DOCTOR, PRAISED BY CEO, USES PARTIAL-BIRTH ABORTIONS TO SELL BABY PARTS
PPFA Senior Director of Medical Services Deborah Nucatola, Other Planned Parenthood Leadership Documented Selling Aborted Baby Parts in 3-Year Investigative Journalism Study
Contact: David Daleiden, media@centerformedicalprogress.org, 949.734.0859
LOS ANGELES, July 14—New undercover footage shows Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s Senior Director of Medical Services, Dr. Deborah Nucatola, describing how Planned Parenthood sells the body parts of aborted fetuses, and admitting she uses partial-birth abortions to supply intact body parts.
In the video, Nucatola is at a business lunch with actors posing as buyers from a human biologics company. As head of PPFA’s Medical Services department, Nucatola has overseen medical practice at all Planned Parenthood locations since 2009. She also trains new Planned Parenthood abortion doctors and performs abortions herself at Planned Parenthood Los Angeles up to 24 weeks.
The buyers ask Nucatola, “How much of a difference can that actually make, if you know kind of what’s expected, or what we need?”
“It makes a huge difference,” Nucatola replies. “I’d say a lot of people want liver. And for that reason, most providers will do this case under ultrasound guidance, so they’ll know where they’re putting their forceps. The kind of rate-limiting step of the procedure is calvarium. Calvarium—the head—is basically the biggest part.”
Nucatola explains, “We’ve been very good at getting heart, lung, liver, because we know that, so I’m not gonna crush that part, I’m gonna basically crush below, I’m gonna crush above, and I’m gonna see if I can get it all intact.”
“And with the calvarium, in general, some people will actually try to change the presentation so that it’s not vertex,” she continues. “So if you do it starting from the breech presentation, there’s dilation that happens as the case goes on, and often, the last step, you can evacuate an intact calvarium at the end.”
Using ultrasound guidance to manipulate the fetus from vertex to breech orientation before intact extraction is the hallmark of the illegal partial-birth abortion procedure (18 U.S.C. 1531).
Nucatola also reveals that Planned Parenthood’s national office is concerned about their liability for the sale of fetal parts: “At the national office, we have a Litigation and Law Department which just really doesn’t want us to be the middle people for this issue right now,” she says. “But I will tell you that behind closed doors these conversations are happening with the affiliates.”
The sale or purchase of human fetal tissue is a federal felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $500,000 (42 U.S.C. 289g-2).
A separate clip shows Planned Parenthood President and CEO Cecile Richards praising Nucatola’s work to facilitate connections for fetal tissue collection. “Oh good,” Richards says when told about Nucatola’s support for fetal tissue collection at Planned Parenthood, “Great. She’s amazing.”
The video is the first by The Center for Medical Progress in its “Human Capital” series, a nearly 3-year-long investigative journalism study of Planned Parenthood’s illegal trafficking of aborted fetal parts. Project Lead David Daleiden notes: “Planned Parenthood’s criminal conspiracy to make money off of aborted baby parts reaches to the very highest levels of their organization. Elected officials must listen to the public outcry for Planned Parenthood to be held accountable to the law and for our tax dollars to stop underwriting this barbaric abortion business.”

Human Capital - Episode 1: Planned Parenthood's Black Market in Baby Parts
Fetus animation adapted from Nils Tavernier, "L'odyssee de la vie" (https://vimeo.com/4015435) under fair use. CMP claims no ownership of this artwork.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
#PPSellsBabyParts EX-CLINIC WORKER REVEALS PROFIT MOTIVE IN PLANNED PARENTHOOD BABY PARTS SALES, VP MEDICAL DIRECTOR PRICES BODY PARTS “PER ITEM”
“We Can See How Much We Can Get Out of It,” says Planned Parenthood Affiliate VP; Whistleblower Who Harvested Aborted Baby Parts Details Traumatic Job in Planned Parenthood Clinics in New Documentary Web Series
Contact: Peter Robbio, probbio@crcpublicrelations.com, 703.683.5004
LOS ANGELES, July 28--The first episode in a new documentary web series features a woman who once worked in Planned Parenthood clinics describing the profit motive involved in Planned Parenthood’s sale of aborted fetal body parts, and includes new admissions from top-level Planned Parenthood leadership about the illicit pricing structure.
The “Human Capital” documentary web series is produced by The Center for Medical Progress and integrates expert interviews, eyewitness accounts, and real-life undercover interactions to tell the story of Planned Parenthood’s commercial exploitation of aborted fetal tissue. Episode 1, “Planned Parenthood’s Black Market in Baby Parts,” launches today at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xw2xi9mhmuo
Episode 1 introduces Holly O’Donnell, a licensed phlebotomist who unsuspectingly took a job as a “procurement technician” at the fetal tissue company and biotech start-up StemExpress in late 2012. “I thought I was going to be just drawing blood, not procuring tissue from aborted fetuses,” says O’Donnell, who fainted in shock on her first day of work in a Planned Parenthood clinic when suddenly asked to dissect a freshly-aborted fetus during her on-the-job training.
For 6 months, O’Donnell’s job was to identify pregnant women at Planned Parenthood who met criteria for fetal tissue orders and to harvest the fetal body parts after their abortions. O’Donnell describes the financial benefit Planned Parenthood received from StemExpress: “For whatever we could procure, they would get a certain percentage. The main nurse was always trying to make sure we got our specimens. No one else really cared, but the main nurse did because she knew that Planned Parenthood was getting compensated.”
Episode 1 also shows undercover video featuring the Vice President and Medical Director of Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains (PPRM) in Denver, CO, Dr. Savita Ginde. PPRM is one of the largest and wealthiest Planned Parenthood affiliates and operates clinics in Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming, and Nevada. Standing in the Planned Parenthood abortion clinic pathology laboratory, where fetuses are brought after abortions, Ginde concludes that payment per organ removed from a fetus will be the most beneficial to Planned Parenthood: “I think a per-item thing works a little better, just because we can see how much we can get out of it.”
The sale or purchase of human fetal tissue 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).
Dr. Katherine Sheehan, Medical Director emerita of Planned Parenthood of the Pacific Southwest in San Diego, describes her affiliate’s long-time relationship with Advanced Bioscience Resources, a middleman company that has been providing aborted fetal organs since 1989: “We’ve been using them for over 10 years, really a long time, you know, just kind of renegotiated the contract. They’re doing the big government-level collections and things like that.”
“Planned Parenthood’s sale of aborted baby parts is an offensive and horrifying reality that is widespread enough for many people to be available to give first-person testimony about it,” notes David Daleiden, Project Lead for The Center for Medical Progress. “CMP’s investigative journalism work will continue to surface more compelling eyewitness accounts and primary source evidence of Planned Parenthood’s trafficking and selling baby parts for profit. There should be an immediate moratorium on Planned Parenthood’s taxpayer funding while Congress and the states determine the full extent of the organization’s lawbreaking.”

Planned Parenthood VP Says Fetuses May Come Out Intact, Agrees Payments Specific to the Specimen
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
#PPSellsBabyParts PLANNED PARENTHOOD VP SAYS FETUSES MAY COME OUT INTACT, AGREES PAYMENTS SPECIFIC TO THE SPECIMEN
Planned Parenthood Rocky Mountains VP & Medical Director Savita Ginde Discusses Contract Details, Aborted Body Parts Pricing, and How to Not “Get Caught”
Contact: Peter Robbio, probbio@crcpublicrelations.com, 703.683.5004
DENVER, July 30--New undercover footage shows Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains’ Vice President and Medical Director, Dr. Savita Ginde, negotiating a fetal body parts deal, agreeing multiple times to illicit pricing per body part harvested, and suggesting ways to avoid legal consequences.
Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains (PPRM) is a wealthy, multi-state Planned Parenthood affiliate that does over 10,000 abortions per year. PPRM has a contract to supply aborted fetal tissue to Colorado State University in Fort Collins.
In the video, actors posing as representatives from a human biologics company meet with Ginde at the abortion-clinic headquarters of PPRM in Denver to discuss a potential partnership to harvest fetal organs. When the actors request intact fetal specimens, Ginde reveals that in PPRM’s abortion practice, “Sometimes, if we get, if someone delivers before we get to see them for a procedure, then we are intact.”
Since PPRM does not use digoxin or other feticide in its 2nd trimester procedures, any intact deliveries before an abortion are potentially born-alive infants under federal law (1 USC 8).
“We’d have to do a little bit of training with the providers or something to make sure that they don’t crush” fetal organs during 2nd trimester abortions, says Ginde, brainstorming ways to ensure the abortion doctors at PPRM provide usable fetal organs.
When the buyers ask Ginde if “compensation could be specific to the specimen?” Ginde agrees, “Okay.” Later on in the abortion clinic’s pathological laboratory, standing over an aborted fetus, Ginde responds to the buyer’s suggestion of paying per body part harvested, rather than a standard flat fee for the entire case: “I think a per-item thing works a little better, just because we can see how much we can get out of it.”
The sale or purchase of human fetal tissue 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). Federal law also requires that no alteration in the timing or method of abortion be done for the purposes of fetal tissue collection (42 U.S.C. 289g-1).
Ginde also suggests ways for Planned Parenthood to cover-up its criminal and public relations liability for the sale of aborted body parts. “Putting it under ‘research’ gives us a little bit of an overhang over the whole thing,” Ginde remarks. “If you have someone in a really anti state who’s going to be doing this for you, they’re probably going to get caught.”
Ginde implies that PPRM’s lawyer, Kevin Paul, is helping the affiliate skirt the fetal tissue law: “He’s got it figured out that he knows that even if, because we talked to him in the beginning, you know, we were like, ‘We don’t want to get called on,’ you know, ‘selling fetal parts across states.’” The buyers ask, “And you feel confident that they’re building those layers?” to which Ginde replies, “I’m confident that our Legal will make sure we’re not put in that situation.”
As the buyers and Planned Parenthood workers identify body parts from last fetus in the path lab, a Planned Parenthood medical assistant announces: “Another boy!”
The video is the latest by The Center for Medical Progress documenting Planned Parenthood’s sale of aborted fetal parts. Project Lead David Daleiden notes: “Elected officials need to listen to the public outcry for an immediate moratorium on Planned Parenthood’s taxpayer funding while the 10 state investigations and 3 Congressional committees determine the full extent of Planned Parenthood’s sale of baby parts.” Daleiden continues, “Planned Parenthood’s recent call for the NIH to convene an expert panel to ‘study’ fetal experimentation is absurd after suggestions from Planned Parenthood’s Dr. Ginde that ‘research’ can be used as a catch-all to cover-up baby parts sales. The biggest problem is bad actors like Planned Parenthood who hold themselves above the law in order to harvest and make money off of aborted fetal brains, hearts, and livers.”

Abortion Provider Urges Vote NO on Proposition 1 - Killing Viable, Healthy Babies Is A "Monstrosity"
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CALIFORNIA ABORTION PROVIDER OPPOSES PROP 1 “MONSTROSITY” FOR “KILLING VIABLE, HEALTHY BABIES”
Pro-Choice Dr. Forrest O. Smith, OB/GYN and Abortion Provider for 53 Years, Opposes Proposition 1 For Legalizing Abortions of Viable, Healthy Babies Up To Birth in New Ad
Contact: David Daleiden, media@centerformedicalprogress.org, 949.734.0859
IRVINE, Nov. 1—Dr. Forrest O. Smith, a pro-choice OB/GYN and the longest-continuously practicing abortion provider in America, urges Californians to vote No on Proposition 1 in a new ad series by The Center for Medical Progress. Proposition 1 will overrule existing California abortion laws to expand late-term abortions on healthy, viable babies through a full 9 months of pregnancy.
In the full version of the advertisement, pro-choice Dr. Smith explains that existing California law already “guarantees the right to abortion but only to the age of fetal viability, which means the age at which the baby can live outside of the mother’s body.” Dr. Smith urges Californians to vote No on Proposition 1 because, “Proposition 1 is really just the same 2003 law, but with the fetal viability clause eliminated. If Proposition 1 is put in our state constitution, abortion doctors will have a right to legally kill viable and healthy babies up to the moment of birth.”
The existing California Reproductive Privacy Act of 2003 limits abortion to “before the viability of the fetus.” The text of Proposition 1, however, embeds a “fundamental right to choose to have an abortion” without any limits or qualifications about viability of the fetus.
“No matter how you feel about abortion, whether you are a pro-lifer or a pro-choicer, what Proposition 1 will do is legalize the killing of viable, healthy babies, and that is the moral monstrosity that we cannot allow into our state constitution. Please join me in voting No on Proposition 1 on November 8th,” Dr. Smith concludes.
Dr. Smith began providing abortions during his residency at Duke University in 1970, and has been in abortion practice continuously since then, providing OB/GYN and abortion care in California for the past several decades. Dr. Smith has also served as a medical expert for CMP, providing testimony in lawsuits by Planned Parenthood and the National Abortion Federation.
“Proposition 1’s taxpayer-funded expansion of late-term abortion on healthy, viable infants, through a full nine months of pregnancy, is so extreme that even committed California abortion providers are coming out against it,” notes David Daleiden, founder and president of The Center for Medical Progress. “Through strategic digital media placements, we hope to reach up to 1 million Californians by election day with the message that Proposition 1 goes too far.”
CMP is also running ads with its undercover reporting on the illegal sale of fetal body parts in California, urging Californians to vote No on Proposition 1’s extreme taxpayer-funded expansion of late-term abortion.

David Daleiden to OAN: "The University of Pittsburgh lied under oath."
TRANSCRIPT:
Kara: What is a vehicle from a tissue procurement company linked to the University of Pittsburgh doing outside a Planned Parenthood abortion clinic with coolers, especially after the university swore under oath that it does not harvest fetal organs from Planned Parenthood. That's what David Daleiden, investigative journalist and president of the Center for Medical Progress, wants to know after those images were captured by a pro-life advocate with the organization 40 Days for Life in Pittsburgh. We'll talk to the woman who took the video in just a moment.
But for now, we have David Daleiden on the line. David, thanks for being here tonight. Hey, Kyra, wonderful to be with you. Great. So as you note, the University of Pittsburgh swore under oath that it does not harvest fetal organs from Planned Parenthood.
So can you catch our viewers up to speed as to why the university was made to go under oath in the first place and kind of the context for the scene that we're seeing?
David: Sure. So let me let me set it up for you. About a year just about a year ago last year in May, the University of Pittsburgh was called to testify under oath at a legislative hearing that the Pennsylvania House of Representative House of Representatives Health Committee was having in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. I testified under oath at that hearing as well about my findings so far. And Center for Medical Progress is investigative research and investigative reporting about fetal experimentation sponsored by taxpayers, sponsored by the federal government. That's been happening at the University of Pittsburgh for decades at this point.
At that hearing, the University of Pittsburgh's representative swore under oath, swear to tell the truth, and testified that the University of Pittsburgh was not harvesting aborted fetuses from Planned Parenthood in downtown Pittsburgh. Now, just last week, witnesses and advocates outside of the Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in downtown Pittsburgh photographed and videotaped a University of Pittsburgh-linked organ harvesting company, CORE, parked in the front driveway of the Planned Parenthood abortion clinic, with the Corps representative carrying out specimen bags, containing specimen tubes and storing them in a cooler in the back of the CORE vehicle. So this is a huge question. If they're not harvesting aborted fetal organs at the Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in Pittsburgh, what is Pitt's organ harvesting company doing parked in the driveway with coolers?

The Supreme Court Must Uphold Abortion Limits
MEDIA ADVISORY: New Video From The Center for Medical Progress Explains Why Supreme Court Must Uphold State Abortion Limits
Contact: David Daleiden, media@centerformedicalprogress.org, 949.734.0859
This week, The Center for Medical Progress released a new video about the Supreme Court’s Dobbs v. Jackson case on Mississippi’s 15-week abortion limit, explaining why the Court must uphold state abortion limits. The video is based on the amicus curiae brief that CMP and its founder David Daleiden wrote and filed in the case, and highlights the disturbing facts from CMP’s undercover videos and investigative reporting on the trafficking of aborted infants, to argue:
“CMP’s undercover videos make this case simple—if a baby is old enough to be trafficked for body parts, he or she should be old enough to be protected from abortion by a state law.”
The new video also examines the tragic and lethal consequences that unlimited, legalized abortion has brought to American communities, such as the demand for late-term fetal organs, racist quotas for harvesting aborted fetuses for experiments, and the enabling of infanticide by pro-abortion government policies as in the Kermit Gosnell case.
CMP’s founder and president David Daleiden notes, “Top abortion industry leaders caught on undercover video admit in their own words that the babies in the womb whose human vulnerability is now before the Supreme Court are the most at risk for organ trafficking for experiments. There is only one answer the Supreme Court can give in the Dobbs case, which is to recognize the obvious, overriding constitutional interests the people of this country have in protecting infants in the womb from lethal abortion. The discriminatory, unequal, and violent treatment the Court once authorized toward so-called ‘pre-viability’ human infants has led to tragic and lethal consequences for our communities, and it is totally inconsistent with who we are supposed to be as a country. Now at last is the time for a new and more humane way forward.”

"I'm not going anywhere. They can't shut me up." David Daleiden Speaks at Live Action's Life Rally
No persecution, big or small, will defeat the cry for justice. We will continue to be warriors, defenders of human life in the womb. We are not backing down, because our brothers and sisters in the womb are worth it.
Support our work as we fight for the 2363 unborn children killed every day due to abortion: https://www.centerformedicalprogress.org/donate/
"The retaliation has been vicious, even as we've seen great success of baby body parts companies shut down in the wake of the revelations, Planned Parenthood defunded explicitly for cause in states like Texas and Louisiana. So I want to tell you guys tonight from the bottom of my heart that the fight is worth it. The fight is absolutely worth it and the reason that we continue to fight - that I'm not going anywhere, I'm still sticking around. They can't shut me up. The reason that we do that is because at the end of the day, our brothers and sisters in the womb are worth it. The lives of every single one of those 2363 little martyrs that we lose each day to abortion in this country, they are worth it." - David Daleiden's speech at Live Action's Unite for Life launch rally for the 2363 campaign. #fightforthe2363

David Daleiden, CMP Founder and President talking to the Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation on the disturbing experimentation uncovered at the University of Pittsburgh: "While my team was undercover... we met a group of abortion providers who were from Planned Parenthood Western Pennsylvania.

Pitt's Barbaric Experiments on Infants go back to 1930s
"The University of Pittsburgh has been a hub for some of the most barbaric experiments done with aborted baby body parts... There have been whistleblower reports going back to the 1970s of nurses from the University of Pittsburgh Training Hospital coming forward and telling the Pennsylvania legislature, 'We're seeing live babies being packed in ice and shipped off to laboratories.'
The head of Pitt's Anatomy Department back in the from the 1930s to the 1950s was doing experiments on live aborted infants. This has been going on for decades at the University of Pittsburgh." - CMP President, David Daleiden.

Pitt Admits to Harvesting Organs from Live Infants with EWTN Pro-Life Weekly

DALEIDEN: "And when we confronted the University of Pittsburgh about this publicly, they said to news media. Yeah, ischemia time means the time after the tissue collection is completed. So if the plain meaning of what they're saying, if the ischemia doesn't start until after the kidneys are harvested, that means there's blood supply still in the kidneys before the tissue collection procedure. And these are harvesting from infants who are delivered alive or that basically it's got to be either partial birth abortions, classic partial birth abortion, or infants who are fully, fully born, and then they're killed by cutting their kidneys out. It's disgusting."

EXPOSED: Pitt likely committing illegal partial birth abortions or infanticide.
EXPOSED: The University of Pittsburgh is taking steps to make sure that there's blood circulation in the organs of infants as long as possible. Sounds suspiciously like illegal partial birth abortions or even infanticide.
CMP goes where no one else dares to go in order to expose the truth, help us keep our work going: https://www.centerformedicalprogress....
"Undercover pro-life journalist David Daleiden claims a federally funded research project at the University of Pittsburgh uses organs extracted from live fetuses. Daleiden, who gained notoriety in twenty fifteen after releasing undercover Planned Parenthood footage, has now been tracking reports of fetal experimentation at the University of Pittsburgh. His group, the Center for Medical Progress, claims the university is carrying out barbaric experiments on aborted infants and killing infants delivered alive for liver harvesting and experiments funded by U.S. taxpayers."
Daleiden: "What the University of Pittsburgh is saying, they're going to be laboring babies out and they're going to be taking steps to make sure that there's blood circulation as long as possible into those organs. Sounds suspiciously like changing the way they're doing the abortions, likely illegal partial birth abortions or even straight up infanticide."

FLASHBACK: Texas Defunds Planned Parenthood Due to Undercover Footage Exposing Violations
FLASHBACK: Prompted by The Center for Medical Progress' undercover reporting exposing Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast's unimaginable violations of basic human rights against infants in the womb or born alive infants, the state of Texas defunded Planned Parenthood in 2015. PPGC practiced abortion quotas, partial-birth abortions, and the selling and trafficking of baby body parts. Six years later, Texas is now implementing its historic heartbeat bill, effectively eliminating most abortions. We are proud of our role in bringing attention to the injustices enabled by abortion in Texas.
We appreciate all of you who continue to support our work as we continue to gain momentum, release more footage and expose the evils of abortion and fetal trafficking. To join the fight visit: https://www.centerformedicalprogress.org/donate/

David Daleiden Slams the Abortion Industry for Its Racism and Exploitation of Mothers and Babies
David Daleiden, President of CMP, slams the abortion industry for its racism and exploitation of mothers and babies @ the LiveAction Life Awards Gala:
"The abortion industry has never been more exposed in its sordid history than it is right now. More Americans than ever before know about the systemic racism that abortion was founded on and how Planned Parenthood targets vulnerable minority communities. More Americans than ever before know about the deep misogyny and contempt for women's bodies and women's lives that Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry perpetuate in their political and financial investments in abortion. No one can any longer deny the barbaric violence that abortion visits day after day upon the tiniest new individuals in the human family. Everyone can see the human trafficking of aborted fetuses for government sponsored experiments. Everyone knows that Planned Parenthood sells baby parts."

LIVE ACTION Life Awards 2021 - David Daleiden Full Speech "...no longer a price tag on human life."
TRANSCRIPT: David Daleiden at LIVE ACTION Life Awards - "Well, thank you. Thank you, Lila, for that very kind introduction and what a beautiful evening to be here with all of you tonight, especially Eduardo and Katrina.
I only have about five minutes to address all of you, so I'm going to try to keep my remarks brief. If for some reason I'm not able to do that and I end up going on a little bit too long, just know that you could always call the White House and Kamala Harris will be happy to send 11 jackbooted thugs to carry me off the stage.
Thank you, Lila, and live action for this great honor. My undercover reporting caught Planned Parenthood's highest level leadership callously negotiating the harvesting and sale of aborted baby body parts.
And it led to the closures and guilty pleas of multiple of Planned Parenthood's baby body parts companies. It galvanized public scrutiny against fetal trafficking and fetal experimentation. And it established the violations of medical standards and ethics necessary to successfully disqualify Planned Parenthood from taxpayer funding in multiple states.
The results and the reporting are ongoing. And tonight, we owe so much gratitude to my fellow undercover investigators who helped make this happen to Adrian and to Sandra, Brianna and Giorgio, and also to the courageous whistleblower, my dear late friend, Holly O'Donnell.
And also to my incredible video producer Ryan, to many other brave and wise helpers and benefactors along the way, and of course, to my current team at the Center for Medical Progress, some of whom are here with us tonight.
The abortion industry has never been more exposed in its sordid history than it is right now. More Americans than ever before know about the systemic racism that abortion was founded on and how Planned Parenthood targets vulnerable minority communities.
More Americans than ever before know about, you know, about the deep misogyny and contempt for women's bodies and women's lives that Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry perpetuate in their political and financial investments in abortion.
No one can any longer deny the barbaric violence that abortion visits day after day upon the tiniest new individuals in the human family. Everyone can see the human trafficking of aborted fetuses for government sponsored experiments. Everyone knows that Planned Parenthood sells baby parts.
Our culture is experiencing a great awakening right now about the human dignity of our brothers and sisters in the womb and about the inhumanity of abortion practice and its parasitic subsistence. At the intersection of all too familiar social injustices of materialism, racism, misogyny, nihilism and civic apathy.
But as the light continues to shine in this darkness, it is my great privilege and deep honor to be just one of many bold parts of the effort to undo this night in our civilization. And it is it is a very special blessing indeed tonight to be receiving this award from Lila and Live Action...
A lot of people don't know this still, but my conviction about the importance and the necessity of a comprehensive exposé of the trafficking of aborted children in their body parts began when I was working at live action over 10 years ago. And so there is one more person that I and everyone here tonight must acknowledge and thank for the significant victories that my work has been able to accomplish so far.
And that person is Lila Rose. Lila, in so many ways, my reporting will always trace its origins to your courageous vision and leadership. Through the practice of undercover reporting and through and during the sometimes vicious retaliation of the defenders of abortion, I am learning ever more deeply the profound truth that what a fallen heart or even a fallen angel may intend for evil. God can reclaim and use for good. The giants are roaring at us from all directions right now because the giants know that they have been discovered. I am not I am not the only David here tonight.
I am looking at a room full of David's right now. So as we march forward together in the coming months, as we call out for Goliath's defeat, let's also rejoice together in the presence of God. Let's embrace the beauty and the imperfection of human life and the fallen world.
Let's believe that curses are meant to be broken. And let's hasten the day when there is no longer a price tag put on human life. Thank you. Good night."

Pitt's Fetal Experimentation is the Next Gosnell - Harvesting Organs from Live Babies
David Daleiden Testifies at Pennsylvania's House of Representatives Health Committee hearing on May 4th, 2020 about unethical and potentially illegal fetal experimentation practices at the University of Pittsburgh.
David Daleiden: " It's been 10 years now since the horrific crimes of Dr. Kermit Gosnell were revealed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where Dr. Gosnell was delivering late term fetuses alive and killing them by snipping their necks with surgical scissors. The horrors of the Kermit Gosnell case were able to take place and continue for so long because they were enabled by Commonwealth officials who preferred secrecy to public accountability. In Pennsylvania's abortion industry, it's a matter of public record. There are horrific abuses of aborted infants taking place on the other side of Pennsylvania through the extensive fetal experimentation programs at the taxpayer funded University of Pittsburgh."
Pennsylvania House Representative Kathy Rapp from District 65: "Thank you for bringing up Gosnell. It certainly is a black mark on the state of Pennsylvania. Gosnell didn't just cross the ethical line, he crossed the legal line. When we started hearing about what was going on in Pittsburgh, that is one of the reasons to have the hearings."
