Dr. Mary Gatter

An antiabortion group on Tuesday released a second video apparently showing an official at Planned Parenthood discussing the method and price of providing fetal tissue left over from abortions for medical research.

The edited video from the Center for Medical Progress claims to show excerpts of a conversation with Mary Gatter, medical director of Planned Parenthood of Los Angeles, in what appears to be a booth at a restaurant. The woman can be seen talking with unseen activists posing as medical company representatives about the price of the tissue, while also stating that “we’re not in this for the money.”

At one point, the woman identified as Gatter jokes: “I want a Lamborghini.”

Later, the Center for Medical Progress posted a longer video described as the full footage of the hour-long conversation.

“At this time, Planned Parenthood cannot confirm the authenticity of this tape, and nobody can tell exactly what was discussed because of the extremely heavy editing, the agenda of the activists who produced it, and the fact that the original footage has not been made available,” Eric Ferrero, VP of Communications for Planned Parenthood of America, said in an emailed statement, before the release of the longer video.

He added: “These videos are part of a decade-long campaign of deceiving the public, making false charges, and terrorizing women and their doctors, all in order to ban abortion and cut women off from care at Planned Parenthood.”

The video is the latest attempt by antiabortion activists to try to show that Planned Parenthood sells fetal tissue. While recouping the costs of preserving and delivering fetal tissue samples to companies for research is permitted, selling the tissue for a profit violates state and federal laws.

The campaign has prompted Congress and some states to open up investigations into the women’s health organization, which also serves as the nation’s largest abortion provider. Planned Parenthood and its supporters say the videos are misleading and part of a decades-long campaign to smear the organization.

On Monday, Planned Parenthood released a lengthy letter to Congress warning that more videos were coming and that they would likely be misleading.

Last week, the Center for Medical Progress — a little-known group with ties to larger, established antiabortion organizations — released a video showing a national executive of Planned Parenthood discussing in graphic detail procedures that are used to abort fetuses in a way that preserves organs such as the liver, heart, lungs and head.

The new video apparently shows the California official alternately discussing the price of fetal tissue while emphasizing that profit is not the motive. The woman identified as Gatter describes the discussion as “negotiations” and expresses hesitation about offering a “lowball.” After an activist prods her to name a price per specimen, she throws out a figure: $75.

“That’s way too low,” the activist counters before offering $100. “Okay,” the woman identified as Gatter says. Later in the conversation, the woman suggests the price may go higher depending on what other affiliates may charge.

The woman identified as Gatter also suggests she is inexperienced in discussing “compensation.” And she repeatedly says profit is not the motive. “The money is not important,” she says at one point.

Also: “We don’t want to be accused of selling tissue and stuff like that,” the woman says. “On the other hand, there are costs associated with the use of our space and all that kind of stuff.”

As the meeting breaks up, the woman breaks the mood with a joke. “I want a Lamborghini,” she laughs.

“Don’t we all?” one of the activists responds.
