Previous Center for Medical Progress videos have shown Planned Parenthood officials discussing prices for different organs.
“In Minnesota we don’t actually have a fetal tissue donation program for any of the three states this Planned Parenthood serves – Minnesota, North Dakota or South Dakota”, Planned Parenthood’s Jen Aulwes said. “Abortion hurts women, and abortion destroys a human life”, she said.
