A California court has ruled that the Center for Medical Progress (CMP) cannot release some of their videos from the undercover Planned Parenthood investigation until a hearing on August 12th.
The videos feature three executives from StemExpress, a company that works with Planned Parenthood to provide parts of aborted babies to various clients.
The ruling does not block the release of videos that do not contain employees of StemExpress.
“The ruling is very narrow, concerning only one specific meeting, and it is temporary and contingent pending further litigation,” David Daleiden, the lead researcher with CMP said. “The judge actually threw out completely the part of StemExpress’ case where they were asking to suppress the documents on their baby parts sales.”
Daleiden says that the group has at least nine more videos to be released showing the operations of Planned Parenthood in selling baby body parts.
The third video released by CMP showed a former StemExpress employee speaking about the way they would seek certain body parts for higher prices.
“The harder and more valuable the tissue, the more money you get,” Holly O’Donnell says in the video. “So if you can somehow procure a brain or a heart, you’re going to get more money than just chorionic villi or umbilical cord. That’s basically what it is. So I guess that’s an incentive to try and get the hard stuff.”
