In the latest video released by the Center for Medical Progress, yet another Planned Parenthood official is caught callously discussing the price of body parts obtained by abortion.

The video begins with Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s president, Cecile Richards, disputing the notion that Planned Parenthood profits from tissue donation.

The latest video, however, shows the president of Planned Parenthood Medical Directors’ Council, Dr. Mary Gatter, haggling over the price of the fetal tissue.

At one point during the negotiations, she laughs, stating, “I want a Lamborghini.”

Gatter is also caught considering potentially breaking protocol in order to get more intact samples for the prospective customers:

“If our usual technique is suction, at 10 to 12 weeks, and we switch to using an IPAS, or something with less suction, or to increase the odds that it will come out as an intact specimen, then we’re kind of violating the protocol that says to the patient, ‘We’re not doing anything different in our care for you.’ Now to me, that’s kind of a specious little argument and I wouldn’t object to asking Ian, who’s our surgeon who does the cases, to use an IPAS at that gestational age in order to increase the odds that he’s going to get an intact specimen. But I do need to throw it out as a concern.”

At the end of the conversation, Gatter says, “If we want to pursue this, mutually, I’ll mention this to Ian and see how he feels about using a ‘less crunchy’ technique to get more whole specimens.”

She also noted Planned Parenthood does not want to be “accused of selling tissue and stuff like that."
