The Center for Medical Progress (CMP) has released a new video showing a Planned Parenthood senior executive discussing the price of aborted baby parts.

Dr. Mary Gatter, president of the medical directors' council at the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, was previously caught in a 2015 undercover video saying she wanted to buy a Lamborghini while she was negotiating the prices of body parts of aborted babies.

In the 2015 video, she told undercover investigators posing as biotech company officials that the prices for a baby's liver, head or heart were negotiable. She also said that she could ask abortionists at Planned Parenthood to potentially alter the procedure to preserve the body parts of the aborted baby, Life News reported.

In the new video, Gatter said that she's "committed" to selling aborted baby parts. "I did it in LA, I'm committed to it, I think it's a great idea," she remarked.

When the undercover journalists tell Gatter that he is willing to pay $50 per fetal tissue specimen, she said that his offer was "on the low end."

"Yeah, $50's on the low end, $50 [per specimen] was like 12 years ago," she said.

Before she was elected as president of the abortion provider's Medical Director's Council, Gatter served as the Medical Director of Planned Parenthood Los Angeles. She later moved to the same position at the organization's Pasadena affiliate. As the Medical Director of the facility in Los Angeles, she oversaw the affiliate's partnership with Novogenix Laboratories, LLC, a local for-profit fetal organ and tissue harvesting company.

During the conversation, Gatter explained that Planned Parenthood needs to check the credentials of the staff of biotech companies who will be stationed at the abortion facility and that they have "pay a little money for the use of the space."

"It's not a lot, we're not greedy about that stuff," said Gatter who was interviewed in September 2015 by the U.S. House Energy & Commerce Committee.

"The fact that Novogenix, StemExpress, and ABR stationed their own workers inside Planned Parenthood abortion clinics to perform the harvesting, packaging, and transport of aborted baby body parts demonstrates that Planned Parenthood had no reimbursable costs under the law," said David Daleiden, project lead for CMP.

The video noted that Planned Parenthood has not disclosed how much money it had received from the Novogenix contract.

Planned Parenthood and Novogenix have been referred to the FBI by the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee for criminal prosecution in December 2016.
