"PLANNED PARENTHOOD FACES ALLEGATIONS FROM FORMER CLINIC WORKER IN GRAPHIC NEW VIDEO" - Kelsey Harkness / @kelseyjharkness / July 28, 2015 / http://dailysignal.com/2015/07/28/planned-parenthood-faces-allegations-from-former-clinic-worker-in-new-video/ [NOTE: Go to this weblink to see the video.]
A new documentary-style video was released today about Planned Parenthood’s alleged “black market” of the harvesting and selling of fetal body parts. The 12-minute video, titled “Human Capital,” features a woman who says she previously worked for a company that procured tissue and organs for Planned Parenthood clinics describing what she considers to be the profit motive involved in the harvesting of aborted fetal body parts.
Viewers should be warned that the video is graphic. There are images of aborted fetal body parts.
“I thought I was going to be just drawing blood, not procuring tissue from aborted fetuses,” says Holly O’Donnell, who claims she fainted on her first day of work.
They [Planned Parenthood] get paid from it. They do get some kind of benefit. Under federal law, it is illegal to profit off of the sale or purchase of human fetal tissue.
The video also features undercover footage of Dr. Savita Ginde, vice president and medical director of Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains in Denver. Standing in the Planned Parenthood abortion clinic pathology laboratory, where fetuses are brought after abortions, Ginde suggests the clinic benefits in some way from harvesting these organs, stating payment per organ “works a little better,” according to the video. “I think a per-item thing works a little better, just because we can see how much we can get out of it,” she says. The episode, produced by the Center for Medical Progress, follows two undercover videos depicting senior Planned Parenthood officials discussing the harvesting of organs from aborted fetuses.
Planned Parenthood has adamantly denied that the organization profits off of tissue from aborted babies, and says the videos have been heavily edited to depict Planned Parenthood workers in the worst way possible.
The previous two videos triggered congressional investigations and calls to end taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood.
According to its annual report, Planned Parenthood received more than $500 million in taxpayer funding while performing 327,653 abortions, making it the nation’s largest abortion provider. In the coming weeks, the Center for Medical Progress is expected to release more episodes as part of its “Human Capital” series.

"What These Pro-Life Groups Have to Say to Companies Donating to Planned Parenthood" -
Kate Scanlon / @scanlon_kate / July 24, 2015 / http://dailysignal.com/2015/07/24/what-these-pro-life-groups-have-to-say-to-companies-donating-to-planned-parenthood/
[Last] Tuesday, The Daily Signal published a list of companies that donate or have donated directly to Planned Parenthood, either through grants or through matching employee gifts. We used data from 2nd Vote, a website and app that tracks causes that corporations donate to.We asked each company about its donations to the nation’s largest abortion provider.
Spokespersons for three of the companies—Coca-Cola, Ford and Xerox—objected to their inclusion on the list. When The Daily Signal provided the companies with a Planned Parenthood website listing them as donors, they said they would be contacting the organization to be removed.
Planned Parenthood later removed all corporate donors from the site.
Many of the companies acknowledged that they contribute to Planned Parenthood through their employee gift matching programs.
The Daily Signal reached out to pro-life groups to ask what they would tell consumers about these companies. Kristan Hawkins, the president of Students for Life of America, said that “this shows how badly Planned Parenthood is hurting.”
“A couple of years ago, businesses would have replied that they proudly supported Planned Parenthood or live in fear if they didn’t (remember what they did to the Komen Foundation?) but today they are the defense, rushing to say that they are not directly donating to Planned Parenthood but instead are giving their employees the option to donate—which is still giving money to the abortion giant,” Hawkins said. “You can’t just donate to Planned Parenthood and say your donation is earmarked for utilities or staff or paper clips but not abortion.” “The building and the staff and the utilities all contribute in some way to abortion and are involved [in] it,” Hawkins said. “Any money whatsoever going to Planned Parenthood in any way contributes to the more than 327,000 abortions they commit every year—and who knows what else they do behind closed doors, some of which is thankfully now being revealed because of the Center for Medical Progress videos.”
