New video segment details Planned Parenthood's savage abortion methods


New undercover video footage released by the Center for Medical Progress (CMP) shows a Planned Parenthood abortionist describing how she tears away preborn babies’ “lower extremities” in an effort to get at their torsos. David Daleiden, CMP director, shared the footage in an interview with Lila Rose, president of Live Action, posted online yesterday. The latest footage follows 10 other CMP undercover videos exposing Planned Parenthood’s role in trafficking aborted babies’ tissue and organs.

In the brief new video segment, apparently recorded on Oct. 12, 2014, Amna Ibrahim Dermish, a Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas (PPGT) abortionist, details the graphic methods she uses during an abortion to procure the baby’s torso intact. PPGT operates abortion clinics mainly in the Dallas-Fort Worth area but also in Austin.

In the video, Dermish boasts to a CMP investigator posing as a fetal tissue buyer that she performs abortions later in a preborn baby’s development than anyone else in the PPGT affiliate. PPGT’s Dallas-based medical director, Darrel Jordan, only does abortions up to 17 weeks and 6 days, Dermish claims.

“I’m the only Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas clinic who goes up to 24 weeks,” she says. But she laments she hasn’t been able to procure an aborted baby’s brain with both hemispheres intact.

“This will give me something to strive for,” Dermish adds, chuckling.

Still, she assures the “buyer” she has no difficulty obtaining the baby’s torso. In earlier undercover CMP videos, Planned Parenthood abortionists and administrators discuss the lucrative trade in aborted babies’ organs, especially the liver, heart, and lungs. Dermish explains in the most recent video how she positions her forceps to keep a baby’s torso intact and undamaged during the abortion procedure.

“I always aim for the spine and bring it down,” she says. “You keep it all in alignment, and it just makes the procedure easier.”

The abortion is more difficult if the baby is older because his or her larger head, referred to as the ‘cal,’ short for calvarium, creates a formidable obstacle.

“Oftentimes, it’s hard to get around the cal,” Dermish admits. “Especially 20-weekers’ are a lot harder versus the 18-weekers’. And so at that point I’ll switch the cal upward to breech.” She says she doesn’t “routinely convert to breech, but I will if I have to.”

Although Dermish doesn’t state where the baby is during the procedure—still in the womb or partially birthed—the baby nevertheless suffers a brutal dismemberment.

“If it’s a breech presentation, I’ll remove the extremities first … the lower extremities, and then go for the spine and scrape, bring it down that way,” she says, gesturing with her right arm in a grasping and downward yanking motion.
