Seventh Planned Parenthood Video Shows Former Technician Discussing Removal of Intact Brain

A new video against Planned Parenthood released by the Center for Medical Progress shows a former technician claiming the abortion provider harvested the brain from a fetus whose heart was still beating.

The seventh video from the Center for Medical Progress shows Holly O'Donnell, a former procurement technician from StemExpress, a stem cell research company that partnered with Planned Parenthood, discussing an experience in which she saw a fellow technician procure a brain from a fetus.

O'Donnell has appeared in other videos filmed by the Center for Medical Progress discussing her experience while working a technician with the abortion company.

"The moment I see it, I am just flabbergasted," O'Donnell recalls in the video. "This is the most gestated fetus, the closest thing to a baby I have ever seen." 

"She is like, 'OK, I want to show you something.' She has one of her instruments and she just taps the heart and it starts beating. I am sitting here just looking at this fetus and its heart is beating and I don't know what to think," O'Donnell continued, referencing the employee she was working with at the time. 

"I don't know if that constitutes if it is technically dead or it's alive. It had a face. It wasn't completely torn up, and its nose was very pronounced, and it had eyelids, and its mouth was pronounced," O'Donnell continued. "Since the fetus was still intact, she said, 'OK, this is a really good fetus and it looks like we can procure a lot from it. We are going to procure a brain.' So, the moment I hear that, it means we are going to have to cut the head open."

O'Donnell added that after she removed the brain from the fetus, she realized that she could not work for StemExpress any longer.

"I was sitting there and was like, 'OK, what did I just do?' That was the moment I knew I couldn't work for the company anymore," O'Donnell said. "Even if it was going to be good and be the cure for some kind of disease, then I wish I still wouldn't have done it. I don't want to be that person," the former technician added.
