Recently released footage shows a Planned Parenthood employee discussing the sale of aborted babies' body parts in video that was initially seized in 2016 by then-Attorney General Kamala Harris.

The damning footage, obtained by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), reveals conversations indicative of ongoing illegal practices and suggests the lengths taken by Harris to suppress the video's release, as the Daily Wire reports.

The unreleased footage was made public on Tuesday by the Center for Medical Progress (CMP). It shows Dr. Stacy De-Lin, Planned Parenthood New York City's medical director for abortion services, engaging in a conversation with an undercover CMP reporter. In the video, De-Lin appears to acknowledge the sale of aborted babies' livers.

The Initial Seizure and Suppression Steps

In 2016, Kamala Harris, who was the attorney general of California at the time, confiscated this footage following a request from Planned Parenthood.

Harris’ office conducted a raid on CMP President David Daleiden’s home two weeks after a meeting with Planned Parenthood officials. A federal judge soon blocked CMP from sharing the full confiscated video, a ban that lasted for eight years.

The conversation in the video includes a CMP investigator, posing undercover, offering to pay between $1,000 and $1,500 for a liver. De-Lin responded favorably to the financial offer. "That's great," she said. "I think a financial incentive from you guys like, to the people we have to get this approved from, will be very happy about it."

Planned Parenthood’s Practices Under Scrutiny

The video also reveals significant admissions from Dr. De-Lin regarding the practices at Planned Parenthood New York City. She admitted that they perform certain abortion procedures, specifically intact dilation and evacuation abortions, which are considered partial-birth abortions. De-Lin further confirmed, "We certainly do intact D&Es."

Greene obtained the video through a subpoena earlier this year and began releasing clips. The full footage was finally released on Tuesday. Daleiden, CMP’s President, stated, “You can see just from the first video why Planned Parenthood tried so hard to cover this up for eight years.”

Political and Legal Ramifications

Daleiden argued that this video’s contents demonstrate why such efforts were made to prevent its release. “There’s really no way that they can spin this stuff anymore,” he said. “There’s no way that they can explain away admissions that are this stark and this obvious from their own top-level leadership.”

He also emphasized the unprecedented lengths to which Harris went to suppress this footage. “That’s why they went, eight years ago, to such incredible lengths to ask Kamala Harris when she was Attorney General of California to use the powers of her office to raid my home,” Daleiden said. “Try to seize all the original copies of the undercover footage and prevent it from continuing to be published.”

Kamala Harris' Campaign Connections

Harris has not commented on the development of this footage release. However, it is notable that she has made abortion a significant element of her 2024 campaign.

Harris has received substantial support from pro-abortion groups throughout her long career. For instance, Planned Parenthood Action and Planned Parenthood Votes have actively supported her, frequently promoting her as a champion for reproductive health.

Planned Parenthood’s Non-Response

To date, De-Lin and Planned Parenthood have not responded to requests for comment regarding the video’s release.

Daleiden has indicated that he expects more previously blocked CMP videos to be released soon, signaling ongoing legal and public relations battles.

Conclusion

Unreleased footage revealing discussions about the sale of aborted babies' body parts shows the troubling practices within Planned Parenthood, initially suppressed by Kamala Harris in 2016. The footage was released by CMP on Tuesday after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene obtained it through a subpoena.

David Daleiden, who has been at the center of this controversy, believes the video reveals why there were significant efforts to prevent its release for eight years. The video includes admissions of illegal practices, setting the stage for further revelations and potential legal consequences.

This video release underscores the ongoing debate around Planned Parenthood's practices and its political entanglements, particularly with figures like Kamala Harris who have received substantial support from pro-abortion groups.

Dr. Stacy De-Lin and Planned Parenthood have yet to comment, but the release of more incriminating footage could emerge soon, potentially altering the landscape of this contentious issue further.
