Plant Parenthood update: Vendor says intact fetuses 'just fell out'
Into the ninth clip in a series of pro-life videos released by the Center for Medical Progress (CMP), a Planned Parenthood vendor was filmed discussing how intact fetuses were obtained.
In the undercover video, Perrin Larton, procurement manager for Advanced Bioscience Resources (ABR) Inc., and Cate Dyer, StemExpress CEO, are featured.
Referring to the situations wherein enough cervical dilation occurs and results to an intact fetus, Larton explained that she has seen some women coming to the center, going into the O.R., and are out in a matter of three minutes. "Oh yeah, the fetus was already in the vaginal canal whenever we put her in the stirrups, it just fell out," she said.

According to the CMP, ABR is the small and mysterious company that has acquired body fetal body parts and sold them for the longest time than any other organization.
In a discussion about ABR, Dyer commented that in order for the company to retain its exclusive rights of harvesting fetal tissues at Planned Parenthood clinics, it pays an "advisor fee" to the clinic manager or director.
Another conversation with Planned Parenthood's long-time medical director of the Pacific Southwest until 2013, Dr. Katharine Sheehan, was also featured in the video.
Sheehan explained that the abortion service organization has been "using them [ABR] for over 10 years," adding that ABR does all the "big" negotiations for them such as government-level collections.
On August 27, Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards addressed a letter to Congress, admitting that an affiliate of the company in California currently receives $60 "per tissue specimen" from an organization that procures tissues.
Meanwhile, CMP project lead David Daleiden pointed out that though $60 may seem like a small amount, with the multiple tissue specimens that can be derived from a single fetus, the numbers can significantly increase and add up with time.
Purchasing or selling human fetal tissues is a federal felony and can result to one's imprisonment for up to 10 years or a fine of up to $500,000.
