The video is the first by The Center for Medical Progress in its “Human Capital” series, a almost 3-year-long investigative journalism study of Planned Parenthood’s illegal trafficking of aborted fetal parts.
But, Dr. Nucatola told the undercover investigators, there are ways around the law.
Throughout the video, Nucatola describes how Planned Parenthood harvests and sells the body parts of babies at various ages.
“The federal [partial birth] abortion ban is a law, and laws are up to interpretation, so if I say on Day One I do not intend to do this, what I ultimately do does not matter”, Nucatola says. “Heavy emphasis” on condoms and other reliable methods of birth control is made only because many do have sex, in fact, over half of all teens by the time they finish high school. People just want…Some people want lower extremities too, which, that’s simple. “I mean that’s easy”, she said, right before taking a bite of her salad.
The sale or purchase of a human fetal tissue is a federal felony, the center noted in a press release.
The video also reveals Nucatola admitting to the concern of Planned Parenthood’s national office with regard to 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. “You know, I would throw a number out, I would say it’s probably anywhere from $30 to $10 [per specimen], depending on the facility and what’s involved”.
“For that reason, most providers will do this case under ultrasound guidance, so they’ll know where they’re putting their forceps”, she said. “It’s very rare to have a patient that doesn’t have enough dilation to evacuate the other parts”.
Buyer: “To bring the body cavity out intact and all that?”
“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”, the Planned Parenthood director of medical services says in the video. The procedure for keeping the head intact is, as CMP reveals, identical to the partial-birth abortion procedure. Pro-abort activists like to claim that the illegal procedure is never performed, and is basically little more than a fairytale concocted by right-wingers as a sort of scare tactic.
For those who don’t know, partial-birth abortion is already a federal felony, with punishments ranging from 2 years in prison or a fine of up to $250,000. Life Dynamics had carefully collected a great deal of data-much of it from a Planned Parenthood affiliate.
They are reacting to a video and transcript produced by Center for Medical Progress.
Of course, if any of these “intact” babies are delivered alive, Planned Parenthood is additionally committing homicide when it kills them after delivery.
Will this latest expose, which unveils yet another of Planned Parenthood’s shameful and illegal practices, finally lead to a stripping of funds from this Big Abortion business?
A separate clip towards the end of the documentary shows Planned Parenthood President and CEO Cecile Richards praising Nucatola’s work to facilitate connections for fetal tissue collection.

“We do fetal tissue collection, and she’s been very helpful”, an actor can be heard telling Richards.
