Neither Schutt-Ainé nor Nguyen responded to calls from The Post. No 1 answered nan telephone astatine nan Gulf Coast Planned Parenthood branch successful Houston Tuesday. The nationalist agency of Planned Parenthood did not respond to an email from The Post.
In nan 2nd of nan 2 videotaped conversations, Daleiden asks Schutt-Ainé and Nguyen really to get nan astir intact late-term aborted fetuses for organ harvesting.
“A batch of it has to do pinch dilation of nan mother’s cervix, nan opening to nan uterus,” Schutt-Ainé says.“Because erstwhile you person bully dilation, a cervix that’s either well-dilated and/or conscionable softer and much pliable, past arsenic you bring nan fetus down, you tin get much of it retired earlier disarticulation occurs.”
Typically, it tin return 3 aliases 4 “passes” of nan forceps into nan commencement canal to get nan fetus out, Schutt-Ainé says successful nan 2nd video.

“Planned Parenthood many times told Congress, nan courts, and nan nationalist that it had ‘rebuffed’ immoderate opportunity to waste aborted babe assemblage parts successful Texas,” Daleiden told The Post.
After Daleiden released nan first videos from CMP’s undercover sting successful 2015, nan National Abortion Federation, representing Planned Parenthood, sewage a national injunction against nan merchandise of nan footage.
At astir nan aforesaid time, then-California Attorney General Kamala Harris’ office, acting connected petition from Planned Parenthood, opened a criminal investigation into Daleiden and nan CMP that has been going connected for 9 years.
