New Video Emerges; Administration Warns States Trying to Defund Planned Parenthood

(Worthy News) – In what appears to be the next installment of the Planned Parenthood controversy, the Center for Medical Progress has released an interview with a former technician who claims that the harvesting of fetal body parts was often undertaken without the knowledge or consent of the pregnant women.

Holly O’Donnell, a former blood and tissue procurement technician, worked for StemExpress, a company that partners with Planned Parenthood to purchase aborted fetal parts and resells them for scientific experimentation.

O’Donnell said that the pressure from her employer to harvest organs was not an “option” but a “demand,” and that technicians at Planned Parenthood would often forgo consulting mothers in cases when parts were in high demand. [ Source ]
