  • Planned Parenthood President admitted in letter to Congress that Planned Parenthood receives $60 per fetal tissue specimen.
  • Additionally, $60 was mentioned as the rate that will get a clinic to harvest baby parts. (As CMP (Center for Medical Progress) points out in the video, the sale or purchase of human fetal tissue is a federal felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison or a fine of up to $500,00).
