<\/div>

In a series of undercover videos uploaded by the Center for Medical Progress, it has become evident that aborted baby body parts harvesting is common, and is happening\u00a0across the nation.<\/p>\n

Despite this, Planned Parenthood has\u00a0written\u00a0<\/a>to Congress that their own fetal body parts harvesting operations (apparently like abortion) are\u00a0just a “minuscule” part of what they do:<\/p>\n

\n

Despite a deliberate and systematic effort to distort our role, only two of 59 Planned Parenthood affiliates are currently involved with fetal tissue research [which they]..\u00a0are proud to have a role in.<\/p>\n

…\u00a0<\/span>99% of our health centers have no involvement in this work… Today,only one affiliate (in California) is involved with fetal tissue research working through a TPO [tissue procurement organization.] A second affiliate is involved with fetal tissue research working with the University of Washington.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

But this doesn’t\u00a0even come close to\u00a0what Planned Parenthood’s own high-level employees admitted to in the undercover videos.<\/p>\n

One of the hubs for fetal tissue harvesting is California, where the majority of Planned Parenthood centers reportedly\u00a0have (or had) some kind of procurement agreement with StemExpress, which has since cut ties<\/a> with Planned Parenthood in the midst of scandal.<\/p>\n

Despite CMP’s video footage, which strongly suggests that Planned Parenthood is selling the organs of babies they abort (and possibly manipulating the procedure – a violation of federal law), California officials\u00a0have refused to open any investigations into either Planned Parenthood or StemExpress.<\/p>\n

\"nucatola\"Deborah Nucatola, MD, Senior Director of Medical Services for Planned Parenthood Federation of America,\u00a0told<\/a>\u00a0CMP buyers about the “saturation” of fetal body parts harvesting in California:<\/p>\n

\n

And, I think that- I don\u2019t know anyone who would say no. Everyone\u2019s been looking to do this for a year and a half, the affiliates in California have been very lucky, because in California there is no shortage of possibilities….<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

So just how prevalent is<\/em> the harvesting of fetal body parts? We’ve\u00a0scanned the transcripts from The Center for Medical Progress for a breakdown.<\/p>\n

Stem Express<\/strong>\u00a0has obtained or now obtains fetal body parts from:<\/p>\n
