Former StemExpress employee smashes claim that Planned Parenthood had ‘shipping costs’ for aborted baby body parts

The Center for Medical Progress has released another video interview with Holly O’Donnell, a former StemExpress fetal tissue procurement technician who worked with various Planned Parenthood locations to harvest specifically requested aborted fetal body parts.

In the video, O’Donnell tells CMP’s David Daleiden that while Planned Parenthood publicly claims it was simply “reimbursed” for shipping and processing costs of aborted fetal body parts, it actually was the tissue procurement company which incurred those costs and handled all processing and shipping — Planned Parenthood was actually paid per specimen, invoicing StemExpress for each organ that was successfully harvested:

O’Donnell previously told Daleiden that this was the case, and she isn’t the only one to make this claim.

Perrin Larton, the head of procurement for Advanced Bioscience Resources (ABR), told an undercover David Daleiden in a previous video:

As Live Action News reported in September 2015, “Both ABR and StemExpress have, in their own words, stated that their own technicians are the ones who enter the abortion clinics and perform all tasks aside from patient consenting. (Another procurement company, Novogenix, has actually been mentioned as being involved in the consenting of patients as well.) These technicians are working at the expense of the procurement company.”

In CMP’s most recent video interview with O’Donnell, above, she says, “Planned Parenthood never shipped anything, we did all the shipping.”

CMP’s press release for the video notes that at the time the videos were released back in 2015, Planned Parenthood insisted that the money paid to them were simple “reimbursements”:

But this was a lie:

And two Congressional investigations support this finding:

O’Donnell agrees, saying that she and other fetal procurement technicians were paid for each organ or body part they harvested.
