Planned Parenthood president is ‘proud’ of abortionist caught discussing how to ‘crush’ babies
Planned Parenthood’s president appeared before Congress Tuesday to testify on the abortion business’ role in the trafficking of fetal body parts. In a hearing before the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Cecile Richards claimed the organization abides by the law, despite numerous videos showing top-level Planned Parenthood executives haggling over the body parts of aborted children.
During the hearing, Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards was questioned on the organization’s lobbying efforts, lavish expenditures and salaries, and the over $500 million it receives in taxpayer funding.
When questioned on why she apologized for callous statements made by Dr. Deborah Nucatola, senior director of medical services at Planned Parenthood Federation of America, in the first video, Richards stated she apologized for Nucatola’s tone. The Planned Parenthood president, however, said she is grateful for the “compassionate” care exhibited by Nucatola, stating, “I am proud of her.”
Nucatola’s horrific statements reflect that the care patients receive from Planned Parenthood is, however, far from compassionate. Nucatola, who was the first abortionist to be featured in undercover tapes by The Center for Medical Progress, cavalierly discusses crushing the bodies of aborted children during a lunchtime conversation with investigators posing as a tissue procurement company.
“I’d say a lot of people want liver,” Nucatola said. “And for that reason, most providers will do this case under ultrasound guidance, so they’ll know where they’re putting their forceps.”
“We’ve been very good at getting heart, lung, liver, because we know that, so I’m not gonna crush that part, I’m going to basically crush below, I’m gonna crush above, and I’m gonna see if I can get it all intact.”
Nucatola even describes how she manipulates the abortion procedure to obtain intact baby parts—even changing the “presentation” of the preborn child in order to better harvest his or her organs.
The alternation of abortion procedures described by Nucatola resembles horrific and illegal partial-birth abortions.

Live Action President Lila remarked on Richards’ testimony before Congress:
Lawmakers are considering Planned Parenthood’s government subsidy in the wake of horrific video evidence that shows the abortion giant profiting off the destruction and exploitation of human life.
In a statement before Congress, Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio noted that federal funds would be better spent on health clinics that truly uphold the health and welfare of women.
“We simply want to shift the money from the 700 Planned Parenthood clinics,” Jordan explained, noting federally qualified health clinics that could replace the abortion giant.
There are currently over 13,000 comprehensive health care facilities across the United States that serve women and children, and do not do abortions.
