In an undercover video from the anti-abortion group Center for Medical Progress<\/a>, a senior Planned Parenthood doctor drinks wine and describes the harvesting of fetus organs and the cost to provide them. The doctor is identified as Dr. Deborah Nucatola, senior director of medical services at Planned Parenthood Federation of America. The video\u2019s makers claim it proves Planned Parenthood is illegally selling fetal tissue and performing illegal partial-birth abortions. Planned Parenthood refutes the claims, explaining that the dollar figures discussed refer to costs associated with delivering donated tissue. You can watch the full video above.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what you need to know about the video and Nucatola:<\/p>\n

According to the Center for Medical Progress,<\/a> which produced the video, it was recorded secretly during a lunch meeting between Nucatola and actors, who were posing as buyers from a medical company. The clip was made in June 2014. Below is the heavily edited version:<\/p>\n

During the meeting, Nucatola discusses the cost to provide specimens \u2014 between $30 and $100 for body parts such as lungs and kidneys, with liver being the most sought-after organ.According to the Center for Medical Progress,<\/a> anybody found guilty of the sale of fetal tissue is liable for a $500,000 fine and\/or 10 years in prison. The group claims the video proves Planned Parenthood is illegally selling organs, but Planned Parenthood says<\/a> Nucatola is not talking about sale prices but rather the costs associated with delivering donated tissue.<\/p>\n

In the video, Nucatola discusses the legal sensitivity surrounding Planned Parenthood\u2019s role in providing specimens, saying the organization distances itself from the issue but she knows it\u2019s happening at affiliate clinics: \u201cAt the national office, we have a Litigation and Law Department, which just really doesn\u2019t want us to be the middle people for this issue right now. But I will tell you that behind closed doors these conversations are happening with the affiliates.\u201d<\/p>\n

Finally, Nucatola talks about abortion doctors\u2019 prowess in harvesting organs intact: \u201cWe\u2019ve been very good at getting heart, lung, liver, because we know that, so I\u2019m not gonna crush that part, I\u2019m gonna basically crush below, I\u2019m gonna crush above, and I\u2019m gonna see if I can get it all intact.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nucatola describes in graphic detail the techniques designed to preserve certain body parts, including what the video\u2019s makers claim is a description of so-called partial-birth abortion, which is illegal according to the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n
