"ABORTIONIST ADMITS THERE'S 'NO QUESTION' BABIES ARE BORN ALIVE AND KILLED TO HARVEST THEIR ORGANS" - Micaiah Bilger, SEP 26, 2019| https://www.lifenews.com/2019/09/26/abortionist-admits-theres-no-question-babies-are-born-alive-and-killed-to-harvest-their-organs/
An abortionist who testified at undercover journalist David Daleiden’s hearing last week said there is “no question” that babies were born alive in the types of abortions discussed in the undercover videos.Daleiden and fellow investigator Sandra Merritt face felony charges for invasion of privacy in California after they exposed Planned Parenthood’s allegedly illegal sales of aborted baby body parts through a series of undercover videos. If convicted, they could be sent to prison.
Earlier this month, a preliminary hearing revealed new details about the case including a witness for the abortion industry admitting that the Center for Medical Progress (CMP) videos were “not altered.” Then, a biotech company CEO who worked with Planned Parenthood could not deny that they harvested aborted babies’ hearts while they were still beating. The hearing concluded last week, and the judge has not decided yet if the case should go to a full trial.
Breitbart reports Dr. Forrest Smith, an OBGYN and abortionist who has been practicing for decades, testified as an expert witness about the statements that Planned Parenthood abortionists and others made in the CMP videos. “There’s no question in my mind that at least some of these fetuses were live births,” Smith testified.
He referred to one of the undercover videos of a presentation by Planned Parenthood employee Alisa Goldberg about second-trimester abortions. She “spoke about using large doses of the drug misoprostol in order to carry out second-trimester induced abortions in one day rather than the four it usually takes,” Live Action reported. “Smith testified that this would lead to a live birth. Large doses of misoprostol, said Smith, would cause ‘tumultuous labor’ that leads to ‘fetal expulsion’ — meaning the baby would be born without any assistance from the abortionist and no instruments would be used. He testified that very few abortionists other than Planned Parenthood do this.” When asked if misoprostol was used but not the drug digoxin, which stops the baby’s heartbeat, Smith said, “No question it’s alive.”
“All testimony we have seen, no breathing, no movement, no cord” or “arms, legs torn off, the assumption is: that is fetal demise. But that’s completely wrong,” Smith said, according to the Daily Wire. He said the baby is alive if his/her heart is beating.
Here’s more from the report:
The abortionist’s testimony was particular jarring since Smith once loathed Daleiden and wished to expose him as a “fraud.” That changed when the doctor watched the undercover videos and spoke to Daleiden directly...Smith soon realized Daleiden was exposing the truth about the abortion industry and, chillingly, “didn’t know the half of what was going on.”
No other journalists have been prosecuted for similar undercover investigations under California law, Daleiden and Merritt contend. They believe their prosecution is politically motivated by politicians like California Attorney General Xavier Becerra and his predecessor, Kamala Harris, who received huge campaign donations from the abortion industry.
Earlier in the hearing, Daleiden described talking with a whistle-blower named Holly O’Donnell, who used to work for StemExpress, a fetal tissue procurement company that had a close relationship with Planned Parenthood, according to Courthouse News.
In 2013, Daleiden said O’Donnell told him that she had harvested body parts from a “fully intact” 25-week baby at a Planned Parenthood in Northern California. “She cut open the baby’s face to harvest the brain,” his testimony continued, according to CMP. “Prior to doing that, her supervisor showed O’Donnell the baby’s beating heart.” “I came to suspect StemExpress and Planned Parenthood of Mar Monte of homicide,” he said.
The undercover investigation exposed numerous atrocities inside Planned Parenthood abortion facilities across the U.S. Its findings prompted investigations by the U.S. House and Senate, as well as a number of states. Both said they found strong evidence that the abortion chain broke the law. The Department of Justice is investigating.
Planned Parenthood repeatedly has denied all allegations of wrong-doing, and many news outlets now parrot its talking points that the undercover videos were deceptively edited or debunked, even though that is not true. An independent forensics investigation verified that the videos were authentic.
Some undercover videos show how Planned Parenthood employees callously and flippantly negotiated the price of tiny baby hearts, lungs, livers and brains. Other evidence indicates the abortion giant may have broken HIPAA patient privacy laws.
