A whistleblower describes extracting brain tissue from a fetus whose heart was still beating, in a seventh undercover video targeting Planned Parenthood that was released Wednesday morning. Holly O’Donnell used to help collect aborted fetal tissue from Planned Parenthood clinics as a former lab technician for the California-based biomedical company Stem Express. She appears in past footage released by anti-abortion investigator David Daleiden, and in the latest video, she says she was asked by a colleague named Jessica to handle an aborted fetus whose heart was still beating. [Jessica] taps the heart and it starts beating, O’Donnell says. I’m sitting here and looking at this fetus and its heart is beating. The footage also contains interviews with officials from Planned Parenthood and two other human tissue companies, Advanced Bioscience Resources and Novogenix Labs, who discuss the practice of injecting fetuses with a drug called digoxin. Digoxin results in the death of the fetus before the abortion is performed, so that doctors can’t be accused of violating the federal ban on partial-birth abortion.
