Former StemExpress employee: We gave Planned Parenthood a ‘grocery list’ of body parts we needed, and they gave us private patient information

In a previous video from David Daleiden and the Center for Medical Progress (CMP), former StemExpress technician Holly O’Donnell described seeing the arms and legs of aborted babies at her job, and recalled the time when she fainted at the sight of those aborted children.

Today, Daleiden and CMP released a second video featuring O’Donnell, who worked for StemExpress — a profitable fetal tissue procurement agency partnered with a large number of Planned Parenthood affiliates — from December 2012 to April 2013. O’Donnell was previously seen in CMP’s undercover series from 2015, describing how she was instructed to harvest the brain of an aborted child at a Planned Parenthood facility, by cutting through the baby’s face, and how she witnessed an aborted child who still had a heartbeat.

In this second video, O’Donnell describes how there was “a lot of coordination” between Planned Parenthood and the fetal procurement agency. StemExpress technicians would compile a so-called “grocery list” of needs for maternal blood and fetal organs and body parts at various gestational ages requested by researchers around the country, says O’Donnell, and Planned Parenthood would attempt to meet these needs by sharing abortion patient information. O’Donnell also describes how Planned Parenthood violated HIPAA laws by allowing StemExpress technicians access to their own computers and charts, which held this patient information. “They would let us look at the physical charts outside the room,” she states on the video. “I was even asked to write in the patient chart at one point.”

StemExpress' Coordination with Planned Parenthood

CMP’s press release on the second video describes what O’Donnell saw in the typical work day and work week while with StemExpress:

O’Donnell’s statements align with what was found during the Select Investigative Panel for Infant Lives’ investigation into fetal tissue trafficking in the United States. CMP states:

Planned Parenthood claims that only 3 percent of its annual services are abortion, a claim which has been debunked by Live Action as well as by the fact-checkers at the Washington Post; in addition, StemExpress CEO Cate Dyer called Planned Parenthood a “volume institution” when it comes to obtaining fetal body parts.
