CV NEWS FEED // Per newly resurfaced years-old undercover videos, executives at a regional branch of Planned Parenthood admitted to covering up illegal partial birth abortions that were committed in order to harvest and sell the body parts of unborn children.
The pro-life medical ethics group who exposed these shocking revelations also maintain that Planned Parenthood asked Kamala Harris – then serving as Attorney General of California – to seize the video eight years ago.
A 10-minute video posted by the Center for Medical Progress (CMP) begins with a text screen stating that its footage was “taken from an undercover meeting with top-level Planned Parenthood abortion providers.”
The two executives “wanted to ‘move forward’ selling liver-thymus pairs for $1,600,” CMP wrote on X (formerly Twitter) Thursday morning.
In the video, Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast (PPGC) Chief Medical Officer Dr. Ann Schutt-Ainé graphically described an abortion conducted at her facility to an undercover journalist.
“I might ask for a second set of forceps to hold the body at the cervix, and pull off a leg or two, so it’s not a PBA [partial-birth abortion],” she told him.
PPGC Vice President of Abortion Access Tram Nguyen also explicitly told the undercover journalist about steps the facility took to “avoid PBA.”
“Trust me, ’cause like, I would never have had a conversation with you if I wasn’t already like, fairly confident that it was gonna be, you know, that our bases were covered and stuff like that,” said Nguyen.
CMP’s video noted that the Houston-based PPGC “ran the biggest abortion clinic in the western hemisphere,” which “aborted babies up to 6 months [gestation] and sold them for experiments.”
The clinic was shut down following the Supreme Court’s 2022 Dobbs decision as a result of Texas’ pro-life law protecting almost all unborn children from abortion.
According to the video, Nguyen “oversaw all abortion practice” at the Houston mega-clinic.
Meanwhile, Schutt-Ainé “was instrumental in connecting NIH [National Institutes of Health]-funded professors at Baylor College of Medicine with Planned Parenthood to purchase” parts of aborted children.
Posing as a representative of a “Fetal Tissue Collection Agency,” the journalist engaged Schutt-Ainé in conversation while Nguyen stood next to her.
“We definitely have the volume,” she told him.
“We’re looking for livers, and cardiac [hearts],” he said.

Schutt-Ainé visibly smiled following the undercover journalist’s apparent request. “Those I can get you,” she said. “Those I can get you without too much difficulty at all.”
Later on in the conversation, Schutt-Ainé explained how her staff would commit an abortion to obtain fetal organs that would be sold.
“[A]s you bring the fetus down,” she said, “you can get more of it out before disarticulation [dismemberment] occurs, and you can get bigger pieces out.”
She continued: “I’d much rather do three or four passes [with forceps] than 15. Picking, picking, picking.”
“Is that your average?” the journalist asked. “Like, three to four passes to remove everything?”
“I think so,” replied Schutt-Ainé while chewing a piece of food.
Nguyen listened, smiled, and nodded while Schutt-Ainé described the abortion process.

When the journalist pointed Nguyen out, she chimed in: “There are some that are like, ‘I need you to make one more pass, one more pass’ to avoid PBA.”
The journalist clarified that Nguyen was referring to avoiding the bipartisan federal Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003.
Both women nodded in agreement.
In another undercover video posted by CMP founder David Daleiden, Schutt-Ainé casually told a journalist: “[S]o now every time I do a D&E [Dilation & Extraction abortion], I’m like oh, there’s some lungs, there’s some kidneys.”
Nguyen added: “I’m like yeah, I have like a leg for you, I’m like, oh s*** if other people were to hear me they’d be like you are f****** evil.”
The New York Post reported that Daleiden has been embroiled in a still-ongoing “nine-year legal saga instigated by [then-Attorney General] Harris” after he first exposed Planned Parenthood’s sales of aborted human body parts in 2015.
Per the Post, Harris was “acting on a request from Planned Parenthood.”
“While the CMP has always contended that Daleiden’s videos revealed illegalities, Planned Parenthood said at the time the initial videos were released that their staffers were discussing legal, not-for-profit donation of fetal tissue to research firms,” the Post noted Thursday.
“But Daleiden claims these newly released videos show even more demonstratively that Planned Parenthood’s talking points at the time were false,” the Post’s report added, “and that staff was engaged in wrongdoing.”
Again from the Post’s Thursday report:
Daleiden faces eight felony charges and possible jail time in California for making the videos without getting the executives’ permission to film them, as well as “manufacturing” a fake driver’s license in order to enter Planned Parenthood offices in Houston. A trial date has tentatively been set for December in San Francisco Superior Court.
Furthermore, The Daily Signal’s Mary Margaret Olohan wrote on X Wednesday night that she has “reviewed emails showing that then California Attorney General Kamala Harris had a much anticipated meeting with top Planned Parenthood officials in March 2016.”
“Two weeks later, her state DOJ agents raided pro-life journalist David Daleiden’s home,” Olohan continued, “looking for the videos that Planned Parenthood wanted.”
In its X bio, the CMP describes itself as a “non-profit organization dedicated to monitoring and reporting on medical ethics and advances.”
