I’ve been trying to warn Americans about the human atrocities of fetal organ harvesting in the taxpayer-funded abortion industry for years. Now, because the problem has sadly persisted, I’m trying to help grieving parents track down the infant daughter they lost to this heinous system.

Medical records from a taxpayer-funded abortion clinic in New Jersey point to a baby being delivered alive at over five months’ gestation in March 2024 — and then handed off to a shadowy fetal organ harvesting company called Cercle Allocation Services. The baby’s father was on long-distance probation. The baby’s mother was having a panic attack, coerced by the clinic, and under the influence of mind-altering substances. The abortion clinic gave her a massive dose of labor-inducing drugs the morning of the procedure. But the clinic intentionally did not administer anything to cause “fetal demise” — to kill the baby — beforehand.

The clinic knew they were funneling her and her baby into their “research” program with Cercle. But they only made her aware of that when they shoved a “donation” form at her while she was having contractions and being wheeled into the operating room. The documents show time intervals and steps in the O.R. that, according to former abortion providers, leave barely one minute to get the baby out during what is normally a 15 to 30 minute extraction. They recorded no use of the normal forceps instruments. And then they handed the baby — named Clementine by her post-abortive parents — off to Cercle.

The new investigative documentary “What Happened To Clementine?” tells the story in detail, with family interviews and medical expert insight on the evidence recovered so far. There is more work to be done, and multiple federal agencies with jurisdiction have been asked to intervene.

Readers likely remember the groundbreaking undercover videos of Planned Parenthood — the biggest taxpayer-funded abortion business in the country — callously negotiating the harvesting and sale of aborted baby body parts. Breaking that story opened the door to increased public scrutiny of the government’s pervasive support for Big Abortion. It helped secure federal divestment from fetal experimentation, and criminal investigations and prosecutions of entities engaged in fetal organ harvesting and sale. It prompted the first-ever disqualification of abortion businesses like Planned Parenthood from nearly $1 billion in federal subsidies, and even helped the successful Dobbs case that allowed full protection of unborn children and their families. But it also sparked severe retaliation against me and my colleagues for daring to challenge this precious golden calf of child sacrifice, precisely because of the enormous stakes involved for the industry. The more we learn about fetal organ harvesting, the more horrifying and devastating the facts become for the continued viability of the entire abortion enterprise.

The abortion clinic responsible in baby Clementine’s case is the anodynely-named Cherry Hill Women’s Center, which openly advertises elective abortions on healthy moms and healthy babies up to 28 weeks gestation — through the 7th month of pregnancy — making it among the top 10 latest 3rd-trimester abortion centers in the country. Cherry Hill receives government funding through both state and federal health programs. And Cherry Hill is a prominent member of the National Abortion Federation (NAF), historically always holding a seat on the Planned Parenthood-dominated NAF Board of Directors. Cherry Hill and NAF were both entities that sought to have their networking conversations about fetal organ harvesting and sales covered up with a federal injunction against the release of half of my undercover footage.

Cherry Hill has been a registered “study site” in Cercle’s fetal organ harvesting research protocol since at least 2014. Cercle was previously known as Advanced Bioscience Resources (ABR), rebranding in 2023. Cercle faced increasing scrutiny as ABR since my undercover footage exposed them as stating whole babies sometimes “just fell out” in the operating room for them to harvest. In a 2019 sworn deposition, ABR/Cercle’s procurement manager Perrin Larton testified that whole babies that “just fell out” occurred with some regularity. She testified the organization’s protocol for organ harvesting was no different in these cases: “We do a dissection to get the tissues that the researchers have requested, yeah.” This is especially disturbing because unborn infants scheduled for organ harvesting cannot have feticidal procedures done to them beforehand, so babies that “just fell out” are mostly born alive. Indeed, Ms. Larton testified that sometimes she had seen fetal hearts “beating independently” after already being cut out.

ABR/Cercle has primarily worked with Planned Parenthood since the 1990s. The labor induction protocol that Cherry Hill used on Clementine’s mother — 600mcg Misoprostol — was heavily promoted across the abortion industry after Planned Parenthood published a study encouraging it in 2006. That was just a few years after the passage of the federal Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act. The abortion industry stood to lose a lot of fetal organ harvesting business if the partial-birth abortions that yielded whole babies were outlawed. Mandating massive doses of labor-inducing drugs for “cervical preparation” ahead of what were alleged to be “dismemberment” abortions would allow the live delivery of babies who “just fell out” to look like an accident.

Misoprostol is part of the mail-order abortion drug regimen that the abortion industry has flooded the zone with since COVID. Indeed, Misoprostol is used for labor induction in standard first-trimester medication abortion protocols to force the baby out of the mother. And Big Abortion is no longer just quietly administering labor-inducing abortion drugs to patients who come into their clinics for surgical procedures. Now, they proudly boast that chemical abortion drugs are the key component to expanding third-trimester abortions as well.

The medical records that Cherry Hill produced to Clementine’s mother clearly establish that the clinic transferred Clementine to Cercle, but after that, the records stop. In order to find out exactly what happened to baby Clementine — where she was sent next, what organs were taken from her, what experiments she was subjected to, and even when or if she died — we have to turn to Cercle’s records. Cercle has procurement logs, customer emails, invoices, and other documents that will shed further light on the fate of baby Clementine after she was forced out of her mother in Cherry Hill. But Cercle has refused to provide any information to Clementine’s parents.

It’s unconscionable that young people carrying preemie-age human infants can be taken advantage of in their most vulnerable moments of crisis by powerful taxpayer-funded abortion businesses. We have to get government money out of the abortion business completely. We should make our communities safe places for people to have their babies even when they are unplanned, and we must listen to survivors of abortion trauma and exploitation. King David may have felled Goliath with a single stone, but it was an entire army of Israelites that chased the Philistine horde’s influence out of their land — they certainly did not publicly fund them. It is time to shut down Big Abortion once and for all.
