   Second video shows Planned Parenthood do

   A new undercover video shows a top Planned Parenthood official   
   discussing “less crunchy” techniques to get “whole specimens”   
   and haggling over the price of fetus tissue sales because she   
   wants “a Lamborghini.”   
      
   And the activist behind the sting operation says there's much   
   more to come.   
      
   Center for Medical Progress Project Lead David Daleiden told Fox   
   News his group has "at least 12, really solid videos" among   
   thousands of hours of footage.   
      
   "So, we'll be doing this for the foreseeable future," Daleiden   
   said.   
      
   The video released Tuesday morning, the second put out by CMP,   
   features a woman identified as Dr. Mary Gatter, who was   
   president of the Planned Parenthood Medical Directors’ Council   
   until 2014 and now works in a leadership and advisory capacity   
   at the local and national level of the organization. Over   
   drinks, Gatter and the undercover activists discuss “specimen”   
   prices, eventually settling at $100 for "intact tissue."   
      
   “I want a Lamborghini.”   
      
   - Dr. Mary Gatter, Planned Parenthood   
   “It’s been years since I’ve talked about compensation, so let me   
   just figure out what others are getting,” says Gatter, during a   
   conversation alleged to have occurred on Feb. 6. “If it’s in the   
   ballpark then that’s fine, if it’s low we can bump it up.”   
      
   Gatter then turns to the women seated to her right, pats her on   
   the shoulder, laughs and says, “I want a Lamborghini.” Asked to   
   repeat the statement, Gatter replies, “I said, ‘I want a   
   Lamborghini.’”   
      
   It is against federal law to sell fetal body parts. Planned   
   Parenthood has maintained it donates the specimens, charging   
   only for the expenses it incurs.   
      
   "We don't want to be in a position of being accused of selling   
   tissue and stuff like that," Gatter says in the video. "On the   
   other hand, there are costs associated with the use of our   
   space, and all that kind of stuff."   
      
   Daleiden said Tuesday that he believed Planned Parenthood's   
   activities were illegal.   
      
   "Our video evidence and the video evidence that CMP will   
   continue to release over the coming weeks and months is prima   
   facie evidence of criminal activity at the highest levels of   
   Planned Parenthood," he said.   
      
   Planned Parenthood Vice President of Communications Eric Ferrero   
   released a statement calling the video a"heavily edited" release   
   by "activists who have been widely discredited." Ferrero said   
   his organization could not confirm the video's authenticity.   
      
   "What we see on this tape is a woman who says 'we’re not in it   
   for the money,' and that any money must be related to   
   reimbursement for costs," Ferrero's statement said.   
      
   The video making the rounds Tuesday was an edited 8-minute   
   "summary" of a much longer conversation. The full video, lasting   
   more than an hour, has also been posted online.   
      
   "Anybody can go and, if they want to watch an hour to three   
   hours of baby parts negotiations, they can judge for themselves   
   if we just chose the highlights," Daleiden said.   
      
   Planned Parenthood has received nearly $46 million in federal   
   grants in 2015, according to government records, for non-   
   abortion-related activities. The organization has taken in more   
   than $207 million in federal funds since 2012.   
      
   When asked on Monday if the White House would reconsider federal   
   funding for Planned Parenthood, press secretary Josh Earnest   
   said, “No.”   
      
   Speaker of the House John Boehner, R-Ohio, was not nearly as   
   curt in a statement about Tuesday's video.   
      
   "This new video is as sickening, disturbing and callous as the   
   last video," Boehner said. "It's now clear that Planned   
   Parenthood allows this horrifying conduct to happen throughout   
   its organization.   
      
   "Last week, I called on Congress to investigate these gruesome   
   practices.  The Energy & Commerce and Judiciary Committees have   
   begun immediate investigations and I look forward to their   
   prompt and thorough action.   
      
   "President Obama still has not denounced these horrific   
   practices.  He has a responsibility to also speak out   
   immediately and stop these practices now."   
      
   The first shoe dropped on Planned Parenthood last week, when CMP   
   released a video showing a top abortion doctor discussing the   
   sale of fetal body parts while drinking wine and eating salad.   
      
   A July 20 letter sent from Planned Parenthood senior counsel   
   Roger Evans to Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich., appears to have   
   forecast the release of Tuesday’s video.   
      
   “We don’t know what the Center will release next, but we know   
   enough to be deeply concerned about the infiltration of Planned   
   Parenthood and its affiliates,” Evans wrote in the letter.   
      
   Evans traced the videotaped infiltration back “nearly three   
   years,” when Daleiden created the “phony company” Biomax   
   Procurement Services, according to the letter.   
      
   “Biomax then embarked on a campaign of corporate espionage with   
   Planned Parenthood and its affiliates as its target,” the letter   
   stated.   
      
   Texas Gov. Greg Abbott called for an investigation into Planned   
   Parenthood following the release of the first video on July 14,   
   and he released a statement Tuesday commenting on the new video.   
      
   “This latest video showing yet another Planned Parenthood senior   
   official negotiating the price of unborn baby body parts is more   
   than just callous and morally bereft, it may be criminal,"   
   Abbott said in a statement. "The video appears to directly   
   contradict Planned Parenthood’s statement last week that they do   
   not earn a profit for selling body parts. Today’s new grotesque   
   revelations necessitate that Texas expand its investigation into   
   this abhorrent practice.”   
      
   Father Frank Pavone of Priests For Life spoke in stark terms   
   about Planned Parenthood Tuesday morning.   
      
   “In the light of what they do to kill children and sell their   
   parts, it is clearly immoral to give any support or transact any   
   business with Planned Parenthood,” Pavone told Fox News.   
      
   Tuesday’s video opens with a portion of Planned Parenthood   
   President Cecile Richards’ response to the first CMP sting video.   
      
   “I want to be really clear, the allegation that Planned   
   Parenthood profits in any way from tissue donation is not true,”   
   Richards says, before the video moves to the covertly recorded   
   footage of Gatter.   
      
   The undercover activist asks Gatter what “compensation” she   
   would expect for “intact tissue.”   
      
   “Why don’t you start by telling me what you’re used to paying?”   
   Gatter responds.   
      
   Later, she adds, "But you know, the money is not the important   
   thing for me. But it has to be big enough that it makes it   
   worthwhile for me."
