That there would be a baby born alive from an abortion, who wasn’t resuscitated by anyone at Planned Parenthood, but whose body parts were “tap[ped]” and referred to as “kind of cool… kind of neat,” shouldn’t actually be all that\u00a0surprising.<\/p>\n

In\u00a0March of 2013,\u00a0<\/a>Alisa LaPolt Snow testified\u00a0on behalf of the\u00a0Florida Alliance of Planned Parenthood Affiliates\u00a0to the Florida\u00a0Legislature that\u00a0the organization\u00a0opposes\u00a0granting life-saving care to a baby born alive from an abortion. According to Planned Parenthood, “Any decision that’s made should be left up to the woman, her family, and the physician.”<\/p>\n

Despite how outrageous the statement is, it seems that the organization can’t even stick to that, as demonstrated by the testimony of Holly O’Donnell, a former technician for StemExpress, in The Center for Medical Progress’s seventh video.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Arguably the most shocking part of the video is that Holly says she was shown an aborted baby whose heart was still beating:<\/p>\n

… [I]t takes a little while and I’m in the hallway. I see the jar come out, goes into the path lab, Jessica I think here is preparing it, rinsing out the jar, rinsing out the linen, the wrapping that catches it, pumping it in the strainer, rinsing it off, putting water in the pie dish, and getting it ready for the doctor.<\/p>\n

So then I hear her call my name, ‘Hey, Holly, come over here, I want you to see something kind of cool, it’s kind of neat.’ So, I’m over here, and this is–the moment I see it, I’m just flabbergasted. This is the most gestated fetus, closest thing to a baby I’ve seen.<\/p>\n

And she’s, ‘Okay, I want to show you something.’ So she has one of her instruments, and she just taps the heart, and it starts beating. And I’m sitting here and I’m looking at this fetus, and its heart is beating, and I don’t know what to think.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The\u00a0aborted baby mentioned,\u00a0whose heart was still beating, was left to be poked and prodded, according to Holly O’Donnell. His mother was not even consulted, nor was the abortionist informed. The baby was simply prepared to have the necessary parts extracted.\u00a0The video further gets into a discussion of babies born alive from abortions, and one such method to ensure that that is not the case.<\/p>\n
