Abortion Clinic Caught Harvesting Body Parts From 5-Month-Old Aborted Baby

A prominent late-term abortion clinic harvests fetal body parts from preemie-age infants after using large doses of labor-inducing drugs on their mothers, a new investigative documentary exposes.

“What Happened to Clementine?” integrates victim family interviews and expert analysis of medical records to follow the story of a young couple’s unexpected pregnancy and subsequently coerced 5-month abortion at the Cherry Hill Women’s Center—and the clinic’s supply of their baby to biotech wholesaler Cercle Allocation Services, Inc. in March 2024.

According to doctors’ analysis of medical records from the 2-day procedure, Cherry Hill documented the 5-month gestation unborn baby as alive with a heartbeat on Day 1. That same day, the injection the clinic would normally use to cause “fetal demise” was recorded as “Not Administered”.

The next day, Cherry Hill gave the young mother a large 600mcg dose of Misoprostol, a drug known to cause strong labor contractions. A few hours later, Cherry Hill recorded time points and procedure steps in the operating room that doctors say barely leave even one minute for the removal of the 5-month-old fetus from the mother’s body. Standard second-trimester Dilation and Evacuation abortions typically take 15 to 30 minutes to dismember the fetus with forceps and remove in pieces.

The medical records do not record the use of any forceps instruments, but note the provision of the fetus to an “ABR STUDY” after the procedure. The records also include a tissue donation form from Cercle Allocation Services, a fetal organ and tissue procurement company that has inherited management, staff, and research protocol registrations from Advanced Bioscience Resources (ABR) over the past few years.

CMP previously released undercover video interviews with ABR admitting that sometimes aborted fetuses “just fell out” of patients in the operating room. ABR’s procurement manager Perrin Larton—now with Cercle—testified under oath in 2019 that intact fetuses were harvested “every couple months”, and that sometimes she saw fetal hearts beating after being cut out. ABR has sold FDA-regulated cGTP/cGMP-quality fetal organs for up to $7,000 each to taxpayer-funded laboratories.

In 2006, a few years after Congress passed the federal partial-birth abortion ban act, Planned Parenthood’s national Research Department published a study urging abortion centers to adopt high-dose Misoprostol protocols for larger fetuses. Planned Parenthood has supplied aborted fetuses to ABR/Cercle since the 1990s.

Cherry Hill has served as a harvesting “study site” for ABR and/or Cercle for over 12 years, and also participates in Planned Parenthood’s “Complex Family Planning Fellowship” as a training site for new abortion providers. Last month, the New Jersey Department of Health cited Cherry Hill for “systemic failures” in its infection control and patient care practices that created “a serious risk to patient safet”.

The patient in the documentary—who has asked to remain anonymous due to the trauma of the experience while official investigations are ongoing—and her partner, Tommy Kearns, previously named their unborn daughter Clementine, even as they struggled during their then-new, long-distance relationship. Clementine’s mother suffered an emotional breakdown at 5 months and called Cherry Hill seeking unbiased medical advice and help, unaware it was primarily an abortion business. Despite having no money or insurance, she was quickly solicited by their call center to come to the clinic for a free abortion paid for by the National Abortion Federation. Due to her severe distress, Clementine’s mother was heavily under the influence of legal marijuana at the time she presented at Cherry Hill, which medical experts say would impair a patient’s ability to consent to any interventions.

Now, Clementine’s parents are seeking information from Cherry Hill and Cercle to recover their daughter’s remains, which the clinic and harvesting company have so far refused to provide. The couple is represented by attorney Catherine Foster with First Rights Global, who has filed federal complaints with the Health and Human Services Department and the Department of Justice on their behalf.

“For over a decade, my investigative reporting has sounded the alarm for the public and government officials about the barbaric and illegal actions the taxpayer-funded abortion industry perpetrates against the most vulnerable people and their unborn children in fetal experimentation programs—including harvesting body parts from babies delivered alive,” notes David Daleiden, founder and president of CMP. “The tragedy of what happened to Clementine and her parents was entirely preventable if these same bad actors were held accountable years ago. But it’s not too late to protect others now if authorities will listen to the cries for justice.”

Elise Ketch, associate reporter with CMP and Daleiden’s co-presenter in the documentary, states, “The tragedy of Clementine and her family isn’t the product of just one group of bad actors, or a handful of exploitative clinics. Big Abortion has an entire industrial complex motivated by profit backing it—a system extending to the media, to academia, to the government—that incentivizes its crimes and perpetuates its violence, killing babies and violating women every day. Clementine’s case is not an outlier—it’s a window into how the system operates.”
